Aamby Valley. A place known for peaceful and relaxing breaks away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Not from 9am March 12 and 13, 2016. Peace-seekers would do well to steer clear of the fast, furious and very loud drag-racing action scheduled for that weekend. The fourth edition of the Valley Run returns to its favourite stomping grounds, the Aamby Valley airstrip.

What you can expect at The Valley Run 2016?

Mayhem. You should expect a lot of it. When you have over 400 participants and 7,000 spectators flocking to one airstrip over a weekend, mayhem is pretty much the standard setting. That’s not all. The participants bring with them the stuff that makes for a petrolhead's wet dream. Exotics like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Aston Martin are a common sight here. It’s not like the regular street cars get left behind either. They show up with heavy modifications that may even give the exotics a run for their money. Prefer two-wheeled action? Amped-up street bikes tuned to the limit and high-performance bikes from Yamaha, Suzuki, BMW, Kawasaki, Ducati, Aprilia, Honda, KTM, Triumph, Benelli and others will be represented in significant numbers. All you have to do is show up and watch them burn rubber and pop wheelies as they fight for the fastest quarter mile time.
