Thrills and spills of Rally Cross
The second edition of the "Sigiriya Rally Cross" was conducted
yesterday (07th March 2010) at the Sri Lanka Air Force Station Sigiriya
race track. This is an annual feature of the Sri Lankan Racing
calendar which is conducted by the Sri Lanka Air Force in association
with the Sri Lanka Association of Racing Drivers and Riders (SLARDAR).
This is the One and only Tar and Gravel road track consisting various
obstacles in the national motor racing arena. The event was flagged off
yesterday with an enthusiastic participation of competitors and massive
spectator presence. The participation of Indian riders also added an
international flavour to the event. The total collection will be
channeled towards the upliftment of families of the injured and fallen
SLAF personnel who can’t be supported through public funds.
The
Acting Chief of Defence Staff and Commander of the Air Force Air Chief
Marshal Roshan Goonatileke graced the event as the Chief Guest and
officially christened the track as the Sigiriya Rally Cross Track.
Following much competition amongst the "Racers" national champion rider
Gayan Sandaruwan raced his way to win the best riders trophy and was
awarded the Air Chief Marshal Roshan Goonetileke Challenge trophy.
