Heavily modified Honda City packed with NOS, Maruti Zens with monster motors under their small hoods and various other exotic four wheelers and two were out to prove their mettle at the Valley Run 2013. 

The cars and bikes, in their respective classes, fought furiously as they went about setting their best times. Participants had one practise run before giving their best shot next time out. Once the Christmas tree lit up, it was furious action. The pressure though was quite clearly on the machinery as the final standings were decided on the basis of only the elapsed time. Hence, the riders' and drivers' reaction times didn’t play a pivotal role on the drag strip and took out some of the drama of the competition.

The crowds were thrilled to see the cars hitting the track – a E60 BMW M5, Z4, Nissan’s GT-R, Audi’s R8 and Lamborghini’s Gallardo were some of the head turners there. On two wheels, a BMW S1000RR, Honda CBR 1000RR, Kawasaki ZZr1400, Suzuki Hayabusa drew a lot of attention.
