Rahimdad Posted January 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Thank you @syed salman raza sir for your kind words. I'm am very happy to see lots of members taking this sport as their passion just like mine. I'm happy to see our members and their enthusiasm grow within our competent grading structure. Increasing convoy size brings on many challenges which you might not be able to comprehend at this time. Overall the quality of the drive reduces with a larger convoy size and my capabilities alone cannot be taken into account. We enter as a team and leave the desert as a team. Let's see how the day progresses as I've seen @Arman has already signed up for Dr @Chaitanya D newbie drive and I beleive there are still spaces available there. Our main priority remains to be able to get a drive for all interested members every week while keeping the learning and enjoyment quotient high. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahimdad Posted January 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Dear Esteemed members of the Carnity off-road club, @Brette @Shehab Alawadhi @Ben84 @N@ved @Alphin Aloor @imranaasghar81 @Michael Glavanis @Sreenath Giridharan @Hisham Masaad @ALI ALMOUMAR @syed salman raza @Thomas Varghese @Bala Krishnan @Arman @Santhosh kumar Rajasekaran @Sara EL FANIDI @Kaile Barrameda @Paul Zeitoun @ZakWarah Increasingly looks like this is the full list for the drive Friday morning. If anyone is planning to drop out please let me know at the earliest. We have a few drivers without any drives this weekend and members are on waitlists so we would like to be fair to everyone. I have noticed that @Arman is already confirmed on the afternoon drive with Dr @Chaitanya D drive, so if @Shehab Alawadhi would like to drive with @Arman can you please join the afternoon drive to have atleast 1 place available to accommodate another driver. Alternately, member who can join the after noon drive Dr @Chaitanya D drive still has 2 spaces available, please consider that so you have atleast 1 drive this weekend, link below. Thank you everyone for signing up for this drive. Please make sure to see the Newbie briefing video in this drive topic as below Please note to bring the following items on this drive without fail 1. Programmed Radio for communications ( link in the drive topic above) 2. Safety Flag with a pole and mount or suction cup. 3. Shovel. 4. Deflator and pressure gauge. 5. Air compressor Not having any one of these will disqualify you from driving and will not be allowed to drive. We will be flexible in ending our drive which could be far from a gas station and hence having an air compressor is recommended. We will drive through a terrain which will be perfect to learn, hone your skills and improvise. You will be concentrating on knowing your cars better and improving on how to drive in a very doable terrain - slopes, small to medium dunes, small climbs and some play areas. Watch out for your convoy numbering which will be announced tomorrow afternoon. See you on Friday. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad that you have a spot in Dr @Chaitanya D drive, I am still worried about members who have not found a spot yet. I guarantee you that you will enjoy Dr @Chaitanya D drive as I myself have been in a couple of his drives to support, but completely lost myself enjoying behind him as he so generously treated us to some awesome areas. His drives are very well planned and driving behind him gives you a very good chance to forget that you were ever challenged by any things as he smoothly takes you through the roughest of terrain. You only realize after the drive the thrill you had with the least amount of bother. We have plenty of drives every week and once you start learning how to use your alarm better and find some luck, we could be driving in Sharjah again. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Varghese Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 @Rahimdad if you want me to join @Chaitanya D I'm ready if it will give a chance for another driver to enjoy the drive with you. Kindly guide and inform me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Varghese Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 I don't mind learning from @Chaitanya D and let the cousins stay together for your drive. Shall I sign up for that and leave this? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
