Thank you @Gaurav @Islam Soliman @Hisham Masaad @Brette @Srikumar @sri ganesh @Felix Obst for being supportive, encouraging teaching and guiding throughout my journey from Absolute newbie when I thought this is not my sport as was stuck nearly 3 times in first half hour . But at the end of the drive which ignited the spark and  turned into a passion which had to be fueled. Also thanks to my family for being supportive of my sport.


will keep pushing the limits and respecting the desert and guidelines of the club whilst enjoying every drive and learning new everytime. See you soon on the sand.

 

thank you all

You made it, bro! Looking forward to meet you soon! After the first newbie drive I thought, nice guy will never see him again (for the reasons you were describing) and shortly after that you came with these beefy skid plates and you were showing your muscles! Your learning curve was insanely steep! Congrats!
