After finishing second in the opening two races on Saturday, Dharmendra improved his show to overtake his partner 
Gajendra Singh at the top of the table. After winning the Race 3 held in the morning, the Army man struggled in afternoon’s first race as he finished at the back of the pack. 

He didn’t let the disappointment get the better of him as he finished ahead of everyone with a big margin. His training team-mate finished behind him and he was closely followed by Muzahid Khan in third place.

In the Radial Class,
Ramesh Kumar dominated as he won 2 out of 3 races on Sunday. 

After winning both the races on Saturday, he continued his good form in the morning race to finish ahead of 

Bikram Mohapatra and Sharif Khan.

In the afternoon race, though, he lost his first place to Xerxes Bamboat, who had an outstanding race after taking the lead at the start of the race.

Third place went to Deelip Kumar. In the last race of the day, he got the revenge and finished ahead of Xerxes to take the top spot.

In the 4.7 Class, it was a close fight between Upamanyu Dutta, Chintan Chatbar and Vir Menon as the trio won the three races that were held on Sunday. In the morning race, Dutta was followed by Nethra Kumanan and Chintan Chatbar to add some spice to the overall points tally.

In the afternoon races, Chintan finished ahead of Vir Menon and Dutta to push him down the table. 

It got worse for Dutta as he struggled into the winds to go at the back of the pack and hand the win to Vir Menon. 

Second place went to Vishnu Saravanan and Ekta Yadav.
