Following the successful staging of the Gulf Cup Dirt Track racing series over the last two years, this year the event has acquired National status. It will be an FMSCI round of the National Championship. Sportscraft will conduct the first of four rounds of this National Championship in Jodhpur on October 1 and 2, 2011.
The other rounds of the championship have been fixed for Round 2 – November 12-13, Round 3 – December 22-23 and Round 4 December 24. The venues for the same will be announced shortly. Going by the popularity and competition witnessed in previous events in different cities, the first leg in Jodhpur should be a treat for two-wheeler racing enthusiasts.
While Bangalore-based TVS riders C S Santosh, H K Pradeev and Arvind K P are likely to be the main contenders in the glamour class of the event -- Indian Expert Class for foreign motorcycles – this first leg could throw up new challengers from Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Nashik and Hyderabad.
For those not familiar with the conduct of the event, dirt track racing is something like an F1 race: Mass Start on motorcycles, where riders speed around a serpentine track, often slushy at places. The race is an exercise in judicious manoevering and good balance of the bike around the many sharp bends.
