Brilliant
victory
In
the
Pro-Stock
301-400cc
Open
race,
pole-sitter
Ahamed
missed
a
gear
as
the
lights
went
out
and
slipped
to
second
behind
team-mate
Deepak
Ravikumar.
The
two
battled
all
the
way
until
Ahamed
passed
Ravikumar
on
the
last
lap
and
defended
his
position
for
a
brilliant
victory.
Behind
the
lead
pair,
defending
champion
Rajini
Krishnan,
starting
from
P7,
crashed
in
the
first
lap,
but
picked
himself
up
to
come
in
third
while
posting
the
fastest
lap
of
the
race
in
the
process.
The
third
place
finish
took
Rajini’s
tally
to
161
after
four
rounds
followed
by
Ahamed
(126
points)
and
Ravikumar
(125).
Heart-stopper
Arunagiri
too
had
to
work
hard
for
his
second
win
of
the
weekend
in
the
Pro-Stock
165cc
Open
category.
The
eight-lapper
went
down
to
the
wire
as
Arunagiri
fought
off
a
strong
challenge
from
the
Petronas
TVS
Racing
pair
of
Ahamed
and
Jagan
Kumar,
and
Rajiv
Sethu
(Idemitsu
Honda
SK69
Racing),
besides
team-mate
and
early
leader
Mathana
Kumar.
Arunagiri
kept
his
wits
about
to
pull
off
a
merited
win
with
Sethu
and
Ahamed
close
on
his
heels.
Mathana,
though
finishing
fifth,
kept
his
lead
in
the
points
table
with
a
tally
of
126,
ahead
of
Sethu
(109)
and
Arunagiri
(104).
Lani
impresses
Earlier,
starting
from
pole
position,
Lani
Zena
Fernandez
battled
with
Mumbai’s
Jagruti
Penkar
(Axor
Sparks
Racing)
all
through
the
five
laps
as
the
two
exchanged
lead.
In
the
last
lap,
Lani
made
a
decisive
move
to
regain
the
lead
which
she
nursed
to
the
finish
for
her
first
win
of
the
season.
Local
challenger
Jagathrishree
(Pacer
Yamaha)
came
in
third,
ahead
of
Ann
Jennifer
(Alpha
Racing).

while
Chiranth

scored
a
