Right, so the excitement of Automodex is over and its time to start planning the next trip to Al Ain.

I know we had a lot of breakages at Automodex and the guys are needing to order spares online etc.....so i would suggest we aim for the 9th April, that should give everyone enough time to get their cars ready.

Let me know if you guys are happy with the date, if not please suggest alternatives!

UPDATE: 6 April

Hey guys,

We were talking on Saturday about having an away meet at the track in Al Ain. I know we all enjoy the Movenpick area, but it would be an opportunity to get a bit of track time on a purpose built track, not only that, it might be a nice trip for families that want to get out of Dubai since the weather is so good.

Our good friend Bandit knows the people who run/manage the track so I will ask him for the details and set something up. But it would be good to plan ahead so that we can get organised...

Something like this.

Depart DXB -09h00
Set-up...

anyone?. . . . HANGOVERS are welcomed. . . .

i'll be there at 8 anyways. . . .

anyone free tomorrow morning at 8am for a drift meet and some touring?
please confirm

THURSDAY SESSION CANCELLED due to unpredictable Dubai holidays...

Hey Guys,

It seems like there is another public holiday next Thursday 17th December, so just wanted to see if anyone is keen for a drift and mini mayhem session on that day?

I'm sure some people might be disappearing for Xmas holidays but for those who aren't let organize a session!

Please post if you guys are keen and what time would suit...

Hey Guys,

As I am sure you are all aware that we have some holidays coming for Eid and for National day, so I think it may be worth setting up some extra sessions for drifting and mini mayhem.

National day is definately the 2nd and I'm sure most will have that day off, so that will probably be a good day to set up a session.

Eid is the difficault one as I'm sure we all are going to end up with different days off.... but lets see if we can find a common day for another session.

If you guys could all post what days seem best for you, we can see if there...

Hey Guys, i've been thinking..

since we are growing is it possible to have an official Drift Compitiion. like the others. registrations, tables. invitations certificates/tropy hehe.. we can also invite AUH for this major event.. what do you think? is it early for this?

this might encourage more drifters at heart?

hi there Drifters, sliders, and non strait drivers





am eager to meet u guys in a certain date either 19th or 20th of this month if possible

considering that il travel 400KM to dubai and my weekends are thursday and friday !!

please conform an suggest date and timing, as much time we can spend with each other

here is my thread so u can know me for those we meet earlier in barbican turbo 2009

Guys, we might have another rc show (maybe for 1 day only) . This time there will be 2 categories - electric and nitro. Venue is tba. Probability of the show is 75% sure and 25% unsure. Final details re venue and schedule will be relayed to me tomorrow. Actually this rc demo show will be part of the kick-off show for the upcoming F1 race in auh which is just days away . Most probabaly, the show will be sometime last week of this month,...

Guys, the adrenaline rc drift show is just 10 days away. As i have discussed with Altimeters, we are planning the below drift format. Any suggestions are welcome.

- Tandem drift of 4 sets of pairs / drivers for each run or let's say every 5 minutes of run.
- Each pair of driver will start 3 ~ 5 seconds ahead of the other pair to avoid collission.

Count me in if there's any. . .

Gud pm guys. I'm here again and sorry for being absent for a month. Just busy with work, family, nitro, drifting, track repair, forum creation and updating and some rc event issues.

Anyway, we are already confirmed for the Adrenaline rc drift show on Oct. 8, 9 and 10 (Thursday to Saturday). My meeting just this afternoon with the Adrenaline guys was positive. I am requesting if we could meet any Friday here in Abu Dhabi for a meeting so I can brief you guys with how the event will run. At the same time, meet you personally and of course practice how to slide and get some tips from...

For those that don't know, Gymkhana is the Japanese version of autocross, in which drifting is a must and your main goal is efficient technical driving and car control, to allow you to navigate through the course in the quickest time possible.  

See you guys this weekend! This time its a race to the finish! no clipping points!

@sir richard your attendance is a must. please...
