Since its debut in 2013, The Valley Run has grown to become one the most anticipated events in India’s drag racing scene. The last edition, held in end-2024, saw over 700 participants and 8,000 spectators, and a whole host of records were broken.
Sean Rogers Pachigalla’s modified Audi R8 set the fastest quarter-mile run in India with a time of 9.215 seconds. Ajit Suvarna also set a new foreign bike wheelie record with a time of 8.797 seconds. Another major highlight was the Ultraviolette F99’s quarter mile time of 10.712 seconds, which made it the fastest motorcycle ever by an Indian manufacturer at The Valley Run.
