As the sun began to set on the adrenaline-packed day of Eastern Riders Meet Vol. 1.0, the engines weren’t cooling down just yet. A new level of thrill was just beginning — thanks to the raw grit, vision, and dedication of DTR – Dirt Track Riders, led by none other than the beloved and highly respected Deba Dutta.
With precision, passion, and persistence, Deba Dutta and his team carved out a custom dirt track on the venue grounds — transforming the event’s closing act into a spectacle of off-road mastery. The DTR Off-Road Competition was the perfect finale: loud, muddy, wild — and unforgettable.
The Track: Built by Riders, for Riders
The dirt track wasn't just a path through the dust — it was a rider’s playground, designed with sharp turns, natural bumps, elevation drops, and tactical lines to test every skill an off-roader could muster. It brought together the best of terrain challenge and rider strategy.
This wasn’t just a fun detour — it was a serious competition, and it drew crowds of cheering onlookers as the riders prepared for battle.
🏁 The Competition: 3 Categories, 1 Spirit
The off-road competition was divided into three categories, recognizing the wide diversity of machines and riders:
- Advanced Off-Road Bikes – Purpose-built machines for serious mud-play.
- Normal Off-Road Bikes – Mid-weight dual-purpose motorcycles.
- On-Road Bikes – Street bikes that dared to tread where few would.
A total of 9 fearless participants — three in each category — took on the track and delivered edge-of-the-seat action, showcasing not just the power of their machines, but their control, reflexes, and off-road instincts.
After a gripping display of mud-flinging turns and adrenaline-fueled acceleration, each category crowned its champions — 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners — who were celebrated with:
🏆 Trophies
📜 Certificates of Achievement
🎖️ Custom DTR/ERM Badges of Honor
It was not just a win — it was a badge of legacy.
