@Islam Soliman @Gaurav - Strangely, My Thursday Drive was considered and when i RSVP'd this drive it said I have already reached maximum and placed me under WL,  thought I highlight this to you....:) 

[Islam Soliman]

Thanks for highlighting @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler.. I assume it’s a tech glitch. 
For this drive, you shouldn’t be worried as you are no. 1 on the WL and am sure as the week progresses there will be movements here and there
