Hosur, April 21 (IANS) Hyderabad ace Stephen Jyothi Rogers Pachigalla started his campaign in the FMSCI Indian National Drag Racing Championship 2025 (4-wheeler) with a grand triple crown in the premier Unrestricted class, besides setting a National record, as he topped the category in both first and second rounds held at the Taneja Aerospace in Hosur.
In the three-day event, promoted and organised by Speedway Motorsports and Vroom Motorsports, Pachigalla, driving an Audi R8 in the premier Unrestricted class, aced the highly competitive field, clocking 09.635 seconds for the 402-metre dash in Round 1 on Friday and improving it to 08.948 seconds in Round-2 on Sunday and setting a new National record in the process.
Pachigalla further underlined his status by winning the Indian Open M3 (Unlimited) category race on Sunday by clocking 08.955 seconds.
Later, in the Vroom Drag Meet, a support event, Pachigalla clocked 08.849 seconds to better the National record he had set earlier.
Meanwhile, veteran Vidyaprakash Damondaran from Coimbatore, the oldest participant at 80 and driving an Audi TT, remained unbeaten in the Pro-Stock 3061cc – 4002cc class across both rounds.
