This is tragic. I knew the killed driver personally.

Sanduruwan's jump at the finish line to take Pasidu was a highlight.. Pasidu has some weak luck in some of the events he ran.. so close yet so far. I must say the coverage on TV was good by local standards.. even though Haritha spoke utter rubbish..

Phenomenal - this was the moment of the day for me. The bottom of the paddock area, consisting almost exclusively of MotoX fans, cheered Gayan to a man when he took the lead.

Absolutely! The bike events were great and covered well. Yes the commenteries were hilarious ! But in the end the cars were quite boring for me. Was there any overtaking at all? (I watched only about 75% I think) And I'm really fed up with seeing the same cars over and over again Especially the Lasers, sorry but they're are a bit of a yawn .

[Elvis_Pil]

Thats a good point.. I wonder if someone can come up with a figure on how many overtaking moves there were- in car events.. hardly any I think other than those off the line... I think the cars have out grown the track.

The Lazer event is always fun lol- real cut-throat racing most of the time.

How about Rangana bogging down at the start in the 1400 modified event and then catching up with the field & storming into the lead by the first corner.. man that was power

And, with some pretty good reaction time, FoxHill pics are up! Please point ur browsers to the AL gallery.

Its a pity we have to resize these things to upload, coz some of the finer detail is lost. Oh well, c'est la vie.

I hope that woman in the background is just having a jaw dropping moment and not actually yawning.

Yup. Thanks to KLM for the tip They didn't have a warm up lap for the first race, so couldn't do exactly as he said, but something better than nothing. Damn, the noise from Janaka's WRX was just amazing.
