Good morning all !

@Chris Wing@Jona@Stumpy Paj@Bjoern@Joseph Raju@Jaro Tuzinsky@Alexanderrr@Simon D@Mohamad Anwer@Mus_hus78@Zed@DP1011

Please find your tentative convoy positions for Sunday.

To the waitlisted Carnitees:

@Imran Kashif@Mario Cornejo@Santoso Marjuki@Asif Hussain@Salim Akhtar

Unfortunately, as we are now with 13 cars already, we will not be able to extend the convoy for now. If any dropouts occur i will add you guys accordingly.

We will be using Channel 4: 446.081 Mhz.

Please be on time so we are ready to hit off by 06AM, so ensure you arrive 10-15mins before that to deflate and setup your flag.

For the ones that did the FB+ drive last week with me, it will be a similar route but i will try to up the throttle one notch further if all goes well. @Jona@Jaro Tuzinsky@Mus_hus78@Zed you guys got the first flavor last week so you'll be prepared for that extra push  

See you all Sunday morning !

Since it's Intermediate, am sure the guys who don't read the forums before driving are gonna end up driving into the sand anyways 😂

How badly I wanted to be on this drive, but have to drop it due to busy schedule, looking forward for the next one

ENJOY
