It's my first post here, thought it was high time i take the plunge and join the forum, instead of the casual surfing of it that i used to previously indulge in. Was in Hyderabad during the Deccan drag race and took a few videos, of which I am posting the links below. Hope you guys enjoy them.

YouTube - Modded Yamaha RX-100's Drag Race

Those are not 100cc bikes. Both are RD350

All the videos posted by me were taken by me itself, on my camera. I thought i mentioned that in the post. I was there on Sunday afternoon, so most were races, a few were practice runs.

If it was sunday, there were no practice runs whatsoever. And now a glaring fact comes to light thanks to your video. The 2 riders in your video are Baban Khan in the left lane and A. Anthony in the right. The timings of these riders on the display boards does not match the timings in the results. Check out your video and then check C1 - Indian Bikes Above 260CC -360CC Two Stroke

WHAT IS HAPPENING BETWEEN THE RUNS AND THE RESULTS???

Chill out Mazda- nothing is wrong there. I was present near the staging area taking pics when these bikes ran. This is NOT the class run, but the final run for the 'champion of champions' class which the organisers came up with last moment. Notice the fading light- the class races were held during the afternoon, when I had stationed myself at the 100 meter mark.

The C of C timings were not taken into consideration anywhere, nor were they formally included in the results since it was a knock-out affair. The timings you see in the results are from the 350cc class runs.
