This time, the JLT party was held at the famous Kari Motor Speedway in the outskirts of Coimbatore. To be precise, a village called Chettipalayam, some 10 kms from the main city.
We had a gala time at the circuit and this can easily be counted as one of the best JLT's ever. Indeed it was a special JLT for me too personally as am very much interested in Go Karting and had raced in two other circuits in Coimbatore, but never got a chance to visit Kari Motor Speedway.
There were nearly 45 of us there and all of us karted to our hearts content!! Towards the end, we even had a pro race in which Rajiv, myself, Russel, and Chandru participated. Any guesses as to the winner?? Hmm... Yours Truly! :-)
There were even some horrifying racing accidents as it is part of motor racing. Our champ racer, Abhilash, went and crashed his kart into the near by field! Though I didn't see the incident myself, I heard from others that the Kart almost flew from the surface. The saddest part was, we had to part away with Rs. 2,500 extra as the axil of the kart broke and they charged for it!

ReplyDeleteHi TEAM:
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to see all the photos. I started remembering the last JLT at Heritage. So, this time it was bashing. I wish that all of you should speed up as the cars you rode there. All the best for the peak guys.
Affectionately,
Sriram G.
