Indian Supercross Racing League co-founder and CEO Ishan Lokhande told that I went to watch a racing national championship at Baburao Sanas Sports Ground in Pune in 1999, that championship was the turning point of my entire career.
Ishan Lokhande told Dainik Bhaskar, I and my family come from a tennis background. But, my interest in racing started from mountain biking. He said, for tennis, we used to train in mountain biking (a variation of cycling). From this time my interest in racing started. In 1999, I came to know that there was a National Championship race at Baburao Sanas Sports Ground in Pune. I went to watch it and it was the turning point of my career.
He further said during the conversation, ever since I saw that championship, I started loving racing. It was something different, which not everyone could do. I like challenges, so I decided that I will do this. When I came home, they could not believe it, I said I really want to do it, from there my racing career started.
