Natl 2W Racing : Rahil Pillarisetty notches first win in 4 yrs, Grand double for Ann Jennifer, Varun Patil

Chennai, June 8 (UNI) Hyderabad ace Rahil Pillarisetty (RACR Castrol Power1) pulled off his first win in four years as he pipped favourite Sarthak Chavan, the Pune teenager, to claim the honours in the premier Pro-Stock 301-400cc Open race even as the first round of the MRF MMSC-FMSCI Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship came to an abrupt end due to a massive thunderstorm at the Madras International Circuit here on Sunday.
The heavy rains accompanied by strong winds early afternoon caused considerable damage to the facility while it also forced cancellation of day’s remaining two races which will be run in the second round in August.
Earlier, Ann Jennifer (RACR Castrol Power1) from Chennai, Bengaluru’s Varun Patil (Mad Rabbit Racing) completed a double apiece in the Girls (Stock 165cc) and Stock 301-400cc (Novice) categories, respectively, while young Kedarnadh (Motul KTM Gusto Racing) from Tirupati topped the Stock 165cc (Novice) race.
