Actually there were 14 cars I am told. Yeah, track days are always fun. Unfortunately not many had the chance to witness it this time. A few lucky souls might get another chance on the 21st of this month. Lets see how many takers we have.

kb100 · 1st October 2007, 00:51

Yeah Yeah... my FIRST ever track day...

WATTE-FUN!!

Pics and report coming up ... But boy saw some spirited driving... and our own spin doctor spun out TWICE - that too on Harry's Mivec...(OH NO - NOT AGAIN - or so I'm told!) ... Lets see if anyone can guess who this talented soul is!

Let me guess. DK (drift king)

who organized this event?

kb100 · 1st October 2007, 01:09

DK - He must be carrying on from where he left off - must be "drifting" in and out of sobriety - as we speak!!

Must admit he does spin out in STYLE - all burnt screeching rubber/smoke/flying dirt et all!.... later he makes it sound like he did it all on some grand purpose!!!

Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to this one. Car is still in the garage and will be delivered only tomorrow. And I stayed back hoping to enjoy watching the cricket match & F1. But it all turned out to be a drab. Anyways, no regrets on missing this one.

Here are the first pics of the action at KMS. Pics courtesy Kb100.

The gathering. 14 cars and more number of mad men.

Check my rear out, says Mivec Lancer.

And my front end.

My heart. I had to undergo a surgery, oooppss I mean a transplant.

Drool maal, that one could only watch at the parking lot.

India's answer to F1.

I rev to 18000 rpm. Just kidding.

Im naked, well almost!

Turbo Charged Mitsu?

The pits, paddocks & briefing.

They make you sign a will?

The beginning of the addiction.

A pose for the cameraman?

Quicksilver, protection & spanking looking OHC.

Shaadi.com entry. But, wait. I am already married!

Never shown anywhere before. World premiere, presented only on TBHP! Unique track driving!

Enjoying wind in the face feeling?

More pics to come later in the day. Along with a report.

And two very pretty women too! - I mean as in "pretty-competent"

BOY they can drive! They sqealed all over the place - went hell for leather -- like bats outta hell !!- and never spun to boot!! (I am going to get killed for this 'spinning' bit!)

Vodka at its best

Not surprised. Have been a witness to this a couple of times

. But the best one has to be "Look, no brake, no brake, no brake. Oh Sh!t". A few seconds later mclaren makes his way to C2 & sees a 40mtr long tire mark. First guess, DK at his best and drive off hoping that my car is safe and sound. Whatever said and done, he is spectacular to watch. Much like Jacques Villeneuve.

Looks like this was a lot of fun for you guys! Sigh, wish we had a track nearby, not that my car can take that kind of stress regularly nowadays but would still be great fun. Chalo, there's always sometime else!
