This event seem's also support by FMSCI.

Yup I was with noidaboy. They are quite confident about the Mumbai/Pune/Banglore Events, but the Delhi events seems a little Shaky.

drag race at night!! that doesent sound very safe too many things to go wrong.

So then is Torquenite happening or not?? And i think the Thread title needs to be changed, as 2008 is now over and we havent seen any Event as yet!!

their site says, tentative dates : 29th to 1st feb, and registration starts from 6th Jan, so some good news coming from the site!! a link to download the form too.

I heard that the "organisers" of Torquenite held an illegal Drag at Khargar last Saturday....And it seems that alot of people had entered. This is blatant defaince of the Law! Makes you wonder if these guys actually have adequate permissions for the event...

There were no organisers there.

Do you think an event would go on for 4 days without permission and lights at night?

first time in India drag racing is being taken to the national level, car and bike race at their best. Inhouse tunning service and spare part exhibition.

Are you sure that there were no "organisers" there. As If i remember correctly, a certain someone who has a Scobby was very much present at that illegal drag that was held last saturday.

And i know that you cant run an event without permissions.

But I am still aprehensive about the whole event.

For Example, the Lisence application forms are still not out!

Just be vary before paying the 3k for registrations!!

The person you are talking about headed home from Sion. So did I. The others went ahead to Kharghar.

Btw, the Scooby is sold.

Forms appear to be out, but the PDF is corrupt or something, because I can't seem to view it.
