It was an amazing turnout and here are my thoughts:

1) Firstly, thanks to DA for being so extremely accommodating, and Yorky500 and Rain for helping out with organizing this event!
2) Thanks to Toleg and Wekky for getting in touch with their Honda Club boys and boosting the turnout! Felt bad for the Honda Stream guy though.
3) Coyote, GTTwinCam and TNT, for bearing with me, and taking over the Miata after I smoked my brakes driving with the damn handbrake on while leaving Sharjah!
4) It was nice meeting WKZ/Waleed (Starlet), Fakhir/Farhan (AE101), Wizzo/Wissam (GTI) and the regulars Tobi, Rain, Evolve, Omeiri, CTREP3 and Stu.

And finally, where are the pictures people? I saw many people taking pictures, so please share them!

Actually, if you had followed me, I would've gone straight through Ring Road and onto E311, without ANY signals. No signals = no stopping = no stalling! :mad:

Would firstly like to thank all those that put their names down and turned up you guys need to give yourself a huge pat on the back. It's guys like you who make these events so well done.

Thanks to ozi and rain for putting everything together and getting things organized. Yup, I was not able to attend as I was doing synchronized swimming in my pink speedo :| haha

Thank you to DA for allowing all 30 cars torun on the night that's what I call cooperation. (Y)

Given the turnout at the last 3 track evenings, I am now going to pester DA to let us loose on the national circuit.

Once again, massive thanks to everyone, that's why we do this, so that everyone can have fun.

It was great fun. Those advanced session cars were wayyy scary-looking. And Tobi was a lot faster in his STi. But I did very well in the 1600cc class!

Thanks organizers and DA, and drivers and spectators, for making the event safe and fun.

Overall it was a good experince, conclusion is on track you require track setup or else there is no point of driving on track.

suspensions / tires / weight do matters a lot..

& some of the drivers on track are so annoying, one is driving at 30KM on Straight lane and on bends at 10KM then he is at wrong place; should drive some where in Naser Square.... :mrgreen:

^^^ its part on being a novice on a track (Y)

As long you enjoy, learn and improve your driving plus built your confidence in yourself and in your car then your on the right path, then you can go ahead which suit your needs and your budget.

Remember its not because you are fast in straight then you are quick on the track

Check my sig :$

Again kudos to the people behind this and offcourse to all attendees and supporters (Y)
