Have you ever been with a bunch of crazy drivers? Have you ever felt the vibrations of a speeding vehicle make you almost lose ground? Have you ever wondered why it is that despite leaving adequate space for overtaking on your left, you almost get bumped off on your right, every single time?! Have you ever been consumed by the thrill of speed that it drives you dizzy with the intensity?
If your answers are in the affirmative then I’m sure you’ll agree that the excitement and fun increases exponentially when you’re in a group of 40. On the other hand if the answer is a no then I’m sure the curiosity to experience the dizziness gets the better of you. It sure did for me! It was my first time in five years. Wearing the helmet did make me get a bit claustrophobic initially though I coaxed myself to move forward. What is life without taking a plunge?! Once on the race track, the meandering course got addictive and I was on it for almost half hour. Subsequently when it was my turn to get back on the race track, it was mere ‘empathy’ for the eccentric drivers of my class (guys, it is meant to be a compliment, please don’t kill me) that made me quit, for I was unbearably slow while they were ridiculously fast.
The one hour just whizzed past, every single face was bright and joyous – I’m not quite sure whether getting done with the investments exams did the trick or whether it was the insane speeds at which they completed their laps (a reasonable guess would be a bit of both)! Some of them took great pride in claiming that they were shown the black flag thrice in a row (black flag is synonymous with incorrigible behavior on the race track) and I appreciate their spirit.
The top three teams got their medals and pictures of their beaming faces were captured forever. Our social rep did an incredible job of organizing this event and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Kirill & his wife, the awesome twosome and the MiF Photographers were at the camera capturing the stints of their speeding classmates. Every single person present, made it special for me. This one is safely tucked away in my memory forever!
