Mumbai, June 13 (PTI) Nashik''s Shamim Khan overcame tough conditions and a strong field to win the 21st Gulf Monsoon Scooter Rally here today. Shamim, riding a Mahindra Rodeo, showed his class as he struck the perfect balance to emerge triumphant in the two-stage race, that witnessed participation by 34 riders. Meanwhile, defending champion Rustom Patel, astride a Kinetic Activa, was second with 10:18.03 seconds penalties. Nashik riders Mansingh Thakur, Ganesh Lokhande and Vineet Kurup finished a creditable third, fourth and fifth respectively. Aloke Bhangre of Pune was adjudged the best first timer for his spirited riding. The first stage was more like an auto-cross where riders drove around a serpentine course thrice and were timed to the hundredth of a second, while the second was three-loop race over the dirt terrain around the Godrej grounds. The monsoon rally, organised by Sportscraft, was forced to be shifted to Vikhroli at the last minute as police refused permission to stage the event in Navi Mumbai.
