all stars racing

Mahen Madugalla, ever the classy gentleman, allowed us to fix our cam on to his Austin Mini, for the SL-A class race during the Speed 2011 held at the Pannala race track [May 22nd]. He started second on the grid and was hunting down the leader, but unfortunately started losing power from his engine during lap two and subsequently he was given a love tap from the driver behind when Mahen attempted to close the door on him at Turn 6. This spun the Exide Mini. and hilarity ensued when the ever keen race marshals started pushing Mahen out of the track, which he realized a second later and after much yelling and vigorous arm movements combined with sign language, they got the point [it must have been the heat], and pushed the ever competitive Mahen back into the race. For which he didn’t last long and trundled back into the pits with a very sick Mini. 

Disclaimer: We did not jinx his race.
