Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Nice pics and great turn out of cars! I wish more folks from Bangalore could turn up for this. Seems like there were quarter mile drags like Lp560 vs 458 , M3 vs C63, R8 vs LP560 , CGT vs Rapide ! So anyone has results of these? ![]() |

Does anyone have a final count of the no. of races that occured ? We left after the Turbo had a run against the Rapide, Loved the way he effortlessly glided the Aston through the final corner after the drag had concluded, ![]() Last edited by ShortShifter : 3rd April 2012 at 12:37. | ||

| ![]() the r8 v8 had a clogged induction system and blocked airfilter due to previous track days , this was cleaned by the owner at the track itself but by that time all the runss were done , so he could nt get a run after that |

| ![]() Excellent turn out! I didnt expect so many beauties to turn up. N from the pictures, I gather that most of those lucious cars are based in chennai itself. I am very impressed. Looks like a very colorful day at the Taj Coromandel. The video of the drag race between the gallardo and Italia was awesome. It seemed like the gallardo driver wasnt quick enough when the flag was dropped, that 458 exhaust note is almost orgasmic. This gives the Parx show quite a run for its money. Much smaller in scale and number of entrants but I am sure the Madras club will catch up soon. I am actually surprised a metallic grey Nissan GT-R from Bangalore didnt turn up for the show?! |

| ![]() [quote=esteem_lover;2732842]Feel sad that i missed this one, more sad since my kids too had to miss this one. Hope there is another one in the near future. I was at the inauguration of the MECC. The sponsors "Golden Homes" announced that the event will be held annually in the last weekend before Christmas, so the next event at the race track is fixed for the 23rd of December 2012. More cars, elaborate entertainment and comfort features are planned. |
