Alex Raptor Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Well that was pretty awesome!!!!!! We covered a good distance, had a perfect mix of technical and flowing dunes, but the highlight of the day had to be crushing the ridges, what a blast, that was top fun. Kudos to the guys behind me, I deliberately kicked up the sand in a few places and you all handled it admirably. Ridiculous sand conditions today, even the flat bits were uber soft in places. Few refusals and tugs, but nothing major, a great chance to hone your skills. I hope your thumb heals (blame the oven like sand) and the Tahoe gets fixed soon @Darren Brooke. Huge thanks to @Islam Soliman for this one, loved it. See you all soon 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varun Mehndiratta Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Thanks @Islam Soliman for the wonderful drive - as always long range dunes in Qudra offered the well needed weekend adrenaline rush.., being at end of the convoy with @Alex Raptor raptor blasting off all the ridges and dunes on its way further expanded the experience 🙂🙂 We had our share of stucks/refusals however considering the challanges that terrain offered (incl the extended drive period thanks to nvr ending expansion works at MBR Solar Park) the convoy did really well. @Ehab believe it was our first drive together. Your red wrangler looked awesome and your really rocked the drive. I don't think you had even a single refusal today. @Nihal17 you handled the wrangler really well through the terrain. Try cutting down on gas a bit when on long ridges. From what I could notice you were dislodged off the ridge by little bumps - cutting down on gas would improve your control and anchor yourself a bit on other side... @Danish Mohammad You know your vehicle well and know that it leaves you with very little margin of error, a minor change in line of approach might help cover that gap. That is how far I could assess fron Sweep position 🙂. Overall a super fun drive and look forward to see you all soon. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeromeFJ Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Thanks @Islam Soliman for the beautiful ridge riding this morning! Combined with the super soft conditions and the technical portions around Solar Park, it made a complete and challenging drive. All the convoy handled very well the proposed challenges, thanks @Alex Raptor and @varunmehndiratta for the assistance. @Darren Brooke, I hope your car will be fit for the next drive ! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cha Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Congrats on achieving the 100 drives @Islam Soliman!! And thank you for the trucker drive this week, I knew what was coming and had been excited for it. Could have enjoyed a lot more if there weren't overheating issue and the back pain. Driving behind @JeromeFJ was really enjoyable. and thank you @Alex Raptor for helping the recoveries and being the flawless CF. didn't see much at the back but often heard @varunmehndiratta's warm confirmation that it's all good at back untill at the end when @Danish Mohammad had to take over the SW due to a radio faliure . till next time! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
