Dinesh Jayawardena in a Mitsubishi Evolution, clocked 32.65 secs to register the fastest time on 4 wheels, as well as the fastest time of the meet, while Sachira Rajakaruna on a Honda CRF 450 clocked 34.58 secs to be the fastest on 2 wheels, at the 21st Southern Eliyakanda Hill Climb (SEHC).

There were over 200 entries, the highest number received for the EHC, but the Marshals and race officials, under the guidance of Southern Motor Sports Club (SMSC) President Ashshar Hameem, with 20 years of experience behind them, conducted this year’s race to perfection and on time. The race was not held up even for the few spills, as the recovery crews were extremely swift and efficient.

The SEHC was conducted by the SMSC which is celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year, and sponsored by Sri Lanka Telecom, CEAT Tyres, Mobil, Thamalu Enterprise, Douglas Sons, Viraj Learners and Wurth.
