I didnt see any UAE boosters there ?? i did see Sam with his camera, but when i came around i missed him.

Some crazy cars and 4x4's.

i got 2nd in my category while zlatco's 2160cc bagged 1st place and Umair's S2000 3rd. 4th place was taken by Abdul Hameed's crazy japanese prepared civic EG6.

Thanks guys, i ran my EK ... ran it just to see how it performs after the rebuild and tune. Its pretty good and i cant complain, all thanks to LAP57 and my tuner Zaki of http://www.tunedichip.com for making this happen.

Car ran on full interior just like how i street it, i got 13.4 on qualifying on the 350m drag. On the 3rd run (which i ran against Umair's S2000) i blew my clutch hose so i had to run it all on 3rd gear.

Final run was against Zlatco, no gear shifts for me ... 2nd gear, cranked the car at the start line and carried right onto the finish at around 60kmph just to complete the race.

Zlatco's car is amazingly crazy, 1st and 2nd gear wheel spin ... 3rd gear starts spinning once he vtecs. AAT tuner dyno-sheets show 260hp !!

I had traction issues as i was running 2005 semi slicks, but i wont complain as i bagged 2nd place. I was supposed to get 3000dh cash price (5000 1st, 3000 2nd, 1000 3rd) ....but last moment they changed the prices to 2000, 1500 and 1000 :P i wonder why? Where's Pee vee?

As i said, some crazy 4x4's and turbo cars .... those guys dont back off the throttle even if they loose control. They'll go left-right-left-right-left until the finish line !!! they've got guts, which we dont !! hmmm i think its guys & money eheheh.

They changed the cash prize on you??? WTF!!??

Next time when you pay the 400 entrance fee, change it to 150 and see if they like that...

not only for me, at the time we left on thursday we were told its

Zlatco Dh5000
Me Dh3000
Umair Dh2000

What we got was :
Zlatco 2,000
Me 1,500
Umair 1,000

Not worth being there from 4.30pm to 3am !! changing tyres, pushing the cars, away from family ... all the hassle. Just for 1,500 :-/
