Its that time of the year again - Time to tune your cars, practice the launches, burn some upgraded rubber and blow the competition away. Stock cars/bikes, modified machines and exotic/imported machinery are all eligible to participate.
We encountered a number of queries the last time from potential participants on how to go about taking part in the SpeedRun, the documentation to prepare and what the rules were all about.
Thanks to Hormazd Sorabjee - Editor, AutocarIndia - Team-BHP now offers its members with official information on the event. We have tried to present it as simply as possible...but if there are any queries, you may post it in the "SpeedRun 2005 Queries" thread.
