Driving up is not an option anymore. The engine's get screwed half the way to the event and give big problems at the race.

Save your engines and your dignity. Hire a truck and send your rides.

Not SR. I'd be surprised if they gave more than 3k for the capacity-based classes, which they've been doing for years. Maybe they don't really get this. I'm talking about this...

How many races have you participated in ?

Heard about the SR being held in Mumbai in feb but want to know if the dates are confirmed or still tentative, and the drag being held in Bangy, is it SR or some private drag being organised.

Really? So chotey, why don't you design a lovely looking stand for us to sit in at the Speed Run. The last time it was a bit tacky.
I like a stand with some character.

mclaren1885 · 21st December 2007, 17:38

So, if your previous profession was racing, who paid you then? Hmm?
