Touring Car, Mini & Drift - All in Al Ain

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 - 10h30
Tourer time - 11h00 - 11h30
Drift time - 11h30 - 1200
LUNCH - 12h00 - 12h45
Mini Mayhem - 12h45 - 13h30

Repeat as necessary, or people that want to go see Al-Ain and surrounds with family...

and then go home, or play until we are sick of it or have broken everything....

Anyway, timings are just a suggestion/guideline, we could expand on that.

I am not sure what facilities are available, but maybe we could have a BBQ there if possible and meet up with some of the Al-Ain racers/drifters and the Abu Dhabi guys could join in too!

Maybe after the Eid weekend, or before if we can get it sorted out...

In the interim I will make contact with the right people and see whats up.

Who's keen?

See you guys

free for dubdrift only? or free for everyone? just wondering cause some nitro guys might come and we cant do proper races.

btw how much is the entry fee?

Just want to confirm. u guys r meeting in Al Ain on Friday & the regular Movenpik meet at 4pm on saturday?

the track is free ..... i can assure you that there are less than a handful of us who do nitro here in Al Ain ...... I'm 100% sure that the track will be free for Dubdrift this friday .....

no entry fees sir

no problem sir ..... see you guys this friday .....

now i need to relax on the booze this thursday night so that i can wake up on time

I'm not sure, but if I do decide to go, it would be nice to know the track location. Al ain is a big place and I don't think anyone has posted directions.
Google earth shot would be nice? I can't find it.

i think the itinery andy has up works well

would suggest that we all meet up at 8:30-8:45 at a gas station or something and then proceed in convoy to al ain...following someone who know where we are going!

is there any available coordinates to the place?

I get back from Qatar late Thursday night. Not too sure if I will make it for a 8:30 convoy so thought I might come by myself ( or with the missus) a little later if at all.

i can meet up with you somewhere in Al AIn and i would gladly guide you to the track ....

im still trying to figure out how to post the location via google earth ...

anyways you guys can call me for any assistance in directions if ever you do get lost
