Kari is truly a Indian motor sport legend. Back in 1980’s I was in 12th std,there were no commercial TV’s. We used to hear so much about Kari’s exploit by word of mouth. First time I saw him was in Mysore dirt track driving his black & silver premier padmini,it was very fast car. Then later on I saw him driving Datsun in Bangalore dirt track. Then I had chance to see him driving his highly modified dolphin in Kolar race track,which was very fast & beat all other cars in open class by miles. Above all who can forget his black beauty formula car at sholavarom race track. Kari’s sedan car’s were always well prepared and very fast on top of it his cars in those days itself had air dam, front spoiler, rear spoiler. It always used to be painted in very attractive colours. A true genius even 24 years after his death I am still in awe of him. Long live kari
