Ripping up Mysore road to Talkaad

Talkaad is a place off the Bangalore-Mysore highway and I on the shores of the river Kaveri. It is a place which has a lot of folklore going for it and a very interesting history. For a jist of what the place is about, its a beach on a river shore!!! 🙂 Yeah, a queen in days gone by cursed an army of soldiers which was in pursuit and they became sand. Every year the temples get covered by the sand and need to excavated continuously.

Ok! Why did we go to Talkaad? The Bangalore-Mysore highway is fast and winding.!! 🙂 The trip was an absolute blast, and was about 300kms in all. I have posted the write up by Aditya.

A kickass session at the local 6 lane highway

The 6-lane highway stretch on the way to Nandi Hills as the venue for this weekend’s meet.

’twas Drag Racin’ time again.

A high profile drag meet had been organised for this Sunday at the Outer Ring Road, in between Old Madras Road and Airport Road.

This event marked the start of many more drag meets that were conducted later on in the year. This event basically showed the interest in motorsport among the youth in Bangalore.

The turnout was pretty good with almost 50 two and four wheelers taking part in the event.
