The Speed Run 2005 was awesome with soooooooo many participants. Team-BHP was there to capture and ENJOY the event.

The event started as usual with the Indian bikes first, followed with the Indian Bikes Open and then with the Big Bikes. All the Indian modded bikes were well modified, but the thing that got on our nerves was that they were practicing in the pit area. The noise was toooo loud and irritating, not to mention that it was very unsafe to practice in that narrow lane with a lot of people out there. Most of us weren't bothered about the Indian bike race, so we were wasting our time in the pit area and clicking pics of the Indian and International cars.

We were busy clicking a Mercedes 300SL, when suddenly the Ferrari 360 Spider enters the pit area behind a BMW 760 iL, and we were like screaming on top of our lungs "FERRARI!!!!!!". The car came towards us and stopped, and EVERYONE were clicking pics. It was like a photo session, like some photographers clicking Michael Schumachers car pics after crossing the line.

This done, we took some more pics of the other cars out there like the modded white Baleno, the Jaguar V12, the Mercedes SL55 AMG, and [plz don't hate me] the two yellow San Storm's. We then moved towards the VIP section, the International cars were being transferred just outside the VIP section, so we again wasted a lot of time oogling at the Ferrari and taking more and more pics, this place was soooo crowded that the security guards had a tough time convincing people to move out but in vain were getting angry stares.

Me, F50 and Stratos went going towards the bike section where we met Dom, Jesal and Manson. We spoke for sometime, and I went alone to the bike section to take some pics. This done, the BMW 6 Series arrived and we started taking pics of it.

Anyways, after taking pics, it was time for the Big Bikes to race. They were performed sooo much burnouts and it was a beautiful sight. The 2005 Busa, Dom's modded Busa, and other Busa's, R1's, R6's, CBR's, Ninja all did some cool burn-out's. And what we noticed was that most of the races were won by Busa's. The R1 was killed by the Busa. One of the bikes that stole our hearts was the yellow Honda Valkyrie. It was unbelievable!!! We could never imagine that bike had such good acceleration!! It was super, the V6 making such raw power and the noise was to die for!!! The second race of the Valkyrie was against the Busa. This is where we realized that a Suzuki Hayabusa is no joke, there is no other bike that can be compared to it. The race started, the Busa did a mistake, the Valkyrie took a huge lead, but just half-way thru the strip, the Busa caught up with it and beat it!!! It was very shocking!!

We entered the VIP section and were sitting out there. We even got free Red Bull

We were all the time here till the event was complete.

The Indian Car Categories started and there were a lot of Zens and City's. The main City's were a dark-green [Poonavala], an orange and a blue City. There was one Mercedes E Class taking part too, but it had a very embarassing defeat to a City [correct me if I'm wrong]. There were two AWESOME Skoda RS, yellow and black. The yellow RS did some awesome burn-outs. Also present were two odd Formula Cars, one blue and the other red. The blue one was a piece of crap, lost against the yellow RS and a Baleno!! The red one was very quick. The only car that was very odd was the Ambassador. But it was good, it didn't win against anyone but it was fast!!! There were two Honda Accord's too, and the worst part was that they were actually ripping them, but you wouldn't hear anything. They were completely silent, no noise AT ALL!!!
