Thank you guys, for all the support. I am searching for pics and videos but still not able to lay my hands on some as my pal in photography was missing from town.

Here are some pics i just found on Facebook, credit to Jathin Kumar for the pics and rest the boys from "Cranks n Cams Racing Union", I know they are not so good with quality but in fading light I guess these were the best pics.

Ripper it really does not step out till you force it too or if you brake heavily, Its just that sensation as most of us are used to the front wheel drive sedans/ hatches, and being a rear wheel drive it does tend to but its very very negligible. I have also upgraded from the stock 215/85R16 Good Year highway rubber to BF Goodrich AT/KO 235/75R16 all terrain rubber which provide me a lot better grip and they are even better in the dirt. (just wish I could use these tires on the rally esteem) and more over as I am used to the truck I feel very comfortable throwing the truck around corners than most ppl.
On the lighter note when I did my run it was in 2W drive, as I was just looking to entertain the crowd only when I finished did I get to know from the timing guy I had placed 3ed in the Class.
