2018 Valley Run To Begin On April 13
The sixth edition of the premier drag racing event will see India’s fastest cars and bikes battle for top honours
The Valley Run has made quite a name for itself among Indian enthusiasts and speed freaks, attracting the fastest cars and bikes across the country for a spot of drag racing. Organised by Elite Octane Inc., the three day event is held at the Amby Valley air strip (hence the name Valley Run).
For the uninitiated, a drag race has a car or bike accelerate from standstill down a quarter mile-long straight. The car or bike that covers the quarter mile distance in the shortest time is the winner. The race has two cars/bikes race side by side to add to the drama as well as judge the driver’s/rider’s reaction time and skill.
In the Valley Run’s case the winners receive a cash prize of upto Rs 50,000. Its categories encompass everything from domestic and international class for both 2-stroke and 4-stroke bikes to Indian and foreign cars (petrol and diesel class).
