However, the rain gods have shown their tantrums the night before the event and the venue was almost in dismal state. The organizers were in dilemma whether to go ahead with event or to cancel it. With the tough job of fixing the tracks and venue, they took the call to sweat it out a little extra and go ahead with the planned event.

The Samaritan crew of Godspeed Racing sprang into action soon after the rain stopped to set the partially damaged track.

The participants started flogging in to the grounds around 11 Am and the competition began at 12:30PM. Overall the first round was a grand success. The roaring engines of these supercross riders have halted for the day at 4:30 PM.
