Leaders of AHOR express their deep gratitude to Eugene Niangti for being instrumental in helping the members of AHOR participate in the event.
They also informed that this was the first time in the history of the Meghalaya, that three off- roading clubs had together participated in the event outside the state and managed to be successful despite stiff competitions from other clubs of the country who were having cars of international standards and had also competed in the Rain Forest Challenge whereas teams from the state competed for the event with just ordinary cars.
“With the results favouring us, this clearly indicates that our drivers are talented and skillful and we have no doubt that we can continue this winning streak in the upcoming events,” the leaders said adding that the main ingredient of winning is teamwork.
