"Roaring Champions" - Drag Racing Series! 6th & 7th June, 2015 at Mumbai

I had taken part in the Valley Run 2014 (Which was too organized by EliteOctane)

I was suppose to get practice runs before my final run which i never got.

I Just had 1 run (which was my final run) which too took place a few hours well after the promised schedule. I happened to do a 14.5x sec. which made me 1st in the 2L turbo petrol category.

But then some BMW Z4 fellas (3 of them) convinced the management / race inspector that their Z4's are "non turbos" and they were allowed to be run in my category as 3L N/A cars (where everyone knows that the Z4 is having the 3L turbo). This was disgusting. Still my timing happened to be faster than 2 of those Z4's. But because the race inspectors did not know about Z4's are turbocharged that cost me my 1st place & i came on 2nd place.

Also this was not a case of merging category as there were enough cars in my category (2 evos, 1 merc c200 & some honda import)

Not to be complaining (which i already did enough during the event & no action was taken) but just wanting everyone to know that the event was not well organized that time & had a poor overall experience. Personally i might not ever participate in this event again, but still all the best to whoever does

TVR 2014 was only Promoted by Elite Octane mate. It was run/organised by IARC. A lot has changed; from organising team revamp to addition of RT as the Final Time to official Race America operator from US etc etc. These developments are a result of the issues participants faced on running the Sporting aspect of the event.

Glad to hear you won the category
