There were many experienced riders, some of whom regularly participate in the National Dirt Track championship, but they were all undone by the tough course and a young Pune rider named Snehal Chavan, who claimed the day's honours.
Chavan went through the motions with the efficiency of a professional rider to clock the best timings and win two of the five classes for which competition was held.
In winning the classes for motorcycles above 130cc upto 165cc Group C - 2 stroke and motorcycles upto 130cc Group C - 4 stroke, he stole the limelight from riders like Rustom Patel, Badal Doshi and Amir Dalvi.
Riding a Yamaha RX, he won the class for morotcycles above 130cc upto 165cc, Badal Doshi had to settle for second place and Rustom third.
