Entry Fee, are you sure that they are planning to charge entry fee. We Hydies surely know ways of evading these things

. Like the one I saw the last time

We did a recce of the location last weekend and it seems like the race will happen in the same old bowl only!

There is no new track yet.

The entry fee he was mentioning is for the participants. Not for the spectators. Though, there is an option to pay 200 INR and sit little closer to the track!

Nikhil bhai, unfortunately, I will be there at the drag on Sunday for max 2 hours (will have to time it to see Indian Open category!) as I have to take my family around Hyderabad.

shux, Hyderabad is the place to be for drag junkies these days. Wish this happens in mumbai too!

Swordfish · 16th February 2010, 18:42

You left out the Safari.

Why can't we all first have a meet at some rendezvous and then lets all go together? In that way it serves two purposes, a meet and an intro for me too :P

Ford Rocam · 17th February 2010, 15:09

@ Dan Thanks buddy.
@ Hyd Bhpians, I am driving down to hyd from Mumbai & will be reaching on friday early morning. Where do i get speed97 fuel in Hyd? I want to avoid carrying it from Mumbai, my requirement is for 12 to 15 Ltrs only for Drag Strip. I will be staying close to the airport & i guess city is far from that place. If anybody can bring it in a Can for me it will be of great help.
You can contact me on 09820632072.

Thanks in advance.

The only place that I am aware of is in Secunderabad (Sangeet Jn). Don't know if any BHPian is going to come from that area.

To be on the safer side, may I suggest that you carry some

Cheers,

If you are driving down from Mumbai, you can fill up from BP bunk in Kukatpally on Mumbai highway (it just 4-5 kms after entering Hyderabad limits) and you can drive away from there to airport.

Hydies, any more filling stations on the way to airport with speed 97?
