THRILLS OF A SUNDAY MORNING

Sunday morning, the peace and quiet of the sleepy suburb of Meenambakkam was shattered by high-powered thrills and spills of the MRF National Motocross Championship. The airport stadium was transformed into a dirt track, where novices on Yamahas and Shoguns and experts on imported Suzuki RM - 125s showed off their skills.

The large gathering at the stadium was treated to some gripping action, when seasoned riders Zubin Patel and Nippender Jassy, both of TVS Racing, brought the track alive with some excellent manoeuvring around the tricky 600-metre track. Eventually Zubin and Nippender won five races between them.

The Local Boys novice class was also tightly contested, an indication of the raw talent available untapped. Local boy V. S. Emmanuel was the pick of the lot, winning two of the events.
R Srinivas of Pacer Yamaha team, dominated the novice Indian motorcycles by winning both the races. All the races were exciting as the competition around the curves was intense. The Suzuki RM - 125s were a treat to watch, with their superior power and excellent maneuverability.
