Sepang Drag Battle round 3 2008


Category- CamPro

By Han Aziz

Since this is my first time writing such blabbering jabs about events and reviews for MMTV, rather than sitting around at home playing speed racing on Facebook…I hope you guys won’t put high expectation on me. Well, here goes..

On the weekend of August, MMTV crews went to Sepang to do coverage on the CamPro team.It took us for almost an hour just to walk past the gate from behind the pit stop entrance while Boss went to get the ‘wear even until the event finished and you hangout at a mamak stall in Subang’ wristband tag. As almost every SDB night’s, all their event was hell a lot of actions!!

I were entertained by some spectators ‘on the way’ to Sepang , a few street racers with cars so powerful like Skylines, Imprezas, Perdanas Satrias, Wiras, and even Kancils!!! They did a mini drag tournament with a major road conflict all the way from R&R Dengkil, up until the Sepang entrance, although they did not manage to over-take our Van equipped with ‘NOS’, they’re 2 lamp poles away no matter how they do.Plus our driver were so good that even when he drove on the left side of the highway, he kept drafting some cars with the speed of 60KPH .

Now, there are few categories( as usual) Class A,B,C,D,E,F, and G(CamPro). These CamPro categories have all those Alfa Romeo Looked-a-like Proton cars with the same drive-by-wire technology system and the same Cam Profile engine. the one that was left alone was that trying-so-hard-to-look-like-evo Waja CamPro

As the entrance regulation says, all competing cars must be using either S4PE or the S4PH CamPro engine though I think anybody using the S4PE will surely get their ass kicked by the rest S4PH with the 1.6L, I later found out that wasn’t true... if you want to know what I mean, come here and see for yourself!

I went to the pit wall area getting the race results, while Sherl (Our VJ) chasing here and there to get an interview from the spectators who kept declining. (I wonder what makes them scared of her..) En. Megat, a spoke person from CamPro team, did give out his opinion on the night’s event. He did named a few person that is at the top form in the team, two of them is Ahmad Firdaus Azman and Mark Darwin, both of them are driving Gen2





So competing from time to time, from 9.00 o’clock which when Our photographer was so excited where he keeps running here and there in the pit stop area taking pictures up until the time 3.30 o’clock ,when He only sits there on the side of the road making different faces showing the expression of wanting to go home..
