Maybe one day we can have a Qatar meet... 8) How long a drive is it? Got a place for 10 Boosters to crash out, even on floor mattresses?

:!: I wanted members to come for the meet itself, not just for the prizes or chance to be featured... see who signed up? That's our hardcore membership right there, and those are the guys I want featured, not some dude who only comes in for the photo opp :wink: same thing with the prizes (Y)

Still, don't worry, bud, there will be plenty of other chances for your S and Lancer!!! 8) You're as hardcore as they come, man! :D

5 days to go, guys! (Y)
i didn't miss any memeber meet since i am a memeber here 8) !! 8) it's all because we are representative of UB , don't want to go with a dirty look car(front left fender was damage by some flying stone last week in the rain :( ) !! the feature or price isn't really matter , it is all about fun , know some new friend and see some old buddy !! :D

Let's hope not, guys! It's still cloudy today...

If the Al Ain shebab start drifting, it's better to climb the nearest palm tree and watch from up there!!! :| Really really out of control stuff - ever seen crazed 15-year-olds playing with 4.8L engines and 2.5-tonnes of chassis metal.. on friggin Siam sand tyres on wet oily tarmac!!!!!! :| Downtown!!!!

Well, I guess just like American redneck 16-year-olds with pick-ups on mud swamper tyres on ice... :roll: at least they're out on the lake...

As we know, there will be absolutely no racing during the MEET - absolutely.

For two reasons:

1. It will be Friday afternoon, so there will be all sorts of families in cars, vans and buses. These come for picnics and to enjoy the views - not to be terrorized by crazy drivers.

2. Because Jebel Hafeet is a high profile tourist spot, with only one road up and down, it is easily and heavily policed. They set up one little roadblock and they've got the whole mountain.

However, for some people who like the technical aspect of mental preparation - only mental because as we know: no racing at the MEET - here is the track broken down into sections.

It is a very very exciting track, and no driving enthusiast can help not notice how much fun it would be at speed - NOT DURING THE MEET! ... just make it another time and date...

1st Section - from roundabout to 1st parking lot.
Image

2nd section - from 1st parking to closed road.
Image

3rd section - from closed road to 4th parking lot (long one on left).
Image

4th section - from 4th parking lot to hotel entrance road (on right).
Image

5th section - hotel to top parking lot: slow here, too straight, too many entrances (especially the one to the Palace!), and entrance to top parking lot is blind.

i'm not sure if i'm at the right time, but this is not sure... I'll try to join you guys if it's allowed... I'm a new member and I don't know if it's ok if i can join.

If I join it's not by 100% i'll be seeing you guys in Jebal Hafeet cause I might get busy with family, if I have time I'll meet you there if it's possible to join.

Can I join if it's ok with you guys and if I was free?
