The night ride thriller

Pix and text by M.A. Pushpakumara

On 23rd December a group of motor enthusiasts tried their hands on something different, which they were convinced that it could be more exiting and daring at the same time.

The organisers of this event also chose a brand new location for this new experience in motoring by locating their night time trial event at a newly filled up venue off Gothami Road Borella, more towards the Rajagiriya marsh lands.

There were both cars and motorcycles taking part which included some of the big names in the sport.

It was not all hunky-dory for the organisers. The event itself which was scheduled to take off at 6p.m. was delayed by about three hours mainly owing to the placements of the unexpectedly large public gathering which counted for more than four thousand people. However once everything was put in its place, the motors roared on and the rest of the night an enthralling thriller.
