After a really long time, we all woke up nice and early. Biju, Sameel, myself were up by 6am. And as usual, someone had to go and screw it all up. This time it was Anup who managed to doze up till 8am with his phone switched off

. He was supposed to be at my place at sharp 7am.
So we left home at around 9:30am and reached the venue on time.
Some MLA had come to inaugurate the event.

Literally every car went off at this turn due to the slush. The corner was such a nightmare that most of the drivers protested for the event to be run in the opposite direction.
Then the other cars got going, not before a lot of the slush was taken out from that corner.
