Going into the fourth and final round on Sunday, both Pawshe and Bengaluru\u2019s Muddappa were tied on 55 points, with the former\u2019s teammate Alimon Saidalvi (Bengaluru) two points adrift of the leaders. In the final run today, Muddappa was pulled up for a jump start, which left Pawshe the championship winner in this category ahead of Saidalvi and Muddappa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Muddappa, however, salvaged the concluding round by winning the championship in two other categories to take his National title count to 17. A fourth-place finish in the Super Sport 4-Stroke 1051-1650cc class, which fetched him 14 points, was sufficient for Muddappa to clinch the title from Round-4 winner and fellow-Bengalurean Mujahid Pasha (Fast Track Racing India), who finished second overall in the championship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, a second place behind Pawshe saw Muddappa take the title in the Super Sport (4-Stroke) 851-1050cc class.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nagecoil\u2019s Lapis Lazuli took the championship in the Girls (Super Stock up to 165cc) category ahead of her C2 Racing team-mate Shanthi Chandra. The duo finished in that order in both rounds this weekend.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bengaluru\u2019s Syed Imran (Fast Track Racing India) walked away with two National titles in the 2-Stroke 131-165cc and 2-Stroke up to 130cc categories.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For Fast Track Racing India team, it was a hugely successful campaign as they picked up team honours in five categories, while Mantra Racing and Team 99 Racing topped two apiece, followed by one each for Accesys India Rookies Racing and C2 Racing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On Saturday, in Round 3, 35-year-old Muddappa came up with stunning runs to win a double crown as he topped the Unrestricted and 1051-1650cc classes, besides a podium in the 851-1050cc category.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
