We will start at Qudra and trace our way back on the tracks from past back to Lisaili on a relaxed drive. Continuing the theme from a couple of weeks ago, expect a leisurely drive through the deserts of Qudra and Lisaili.

Ben Williams Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Evening all. I'm lacking a tow rope and the shackles. Are these mandatory for all drivers, or can I do without for this drive? If mandatory, can I get some recommendations please? I don't really know what I'm looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be okay without them for this drive. However you should have a set in your car. Please go through the recommended gear post. You can buy AOR or some other brand Rope and Shackels from either Ace/Speedex or Amazon or even brick and mortar off-road shops. I’ll let others also pitch in with their recommendations and you can decide. 2 1 don't drive like its your last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @Ben Williams Your question : THIS drive yes, you can do it. While its highly recommended , to invest in these if you plan to be moving up the ladder, and Till FB+ itd not part of mandatory gear( if you go by requirements listed in grading structure of our club) . Once u decide to move up/ apply for promotion to to IM, You do have to provide a confirmation and pictures that you have these gears with you. Trust this helps:) So for the time being you can postpone the investment , but again, if you drive with other clubs/friends too, this is a recommended gear! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looper Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 @Ishak, @DTG, @Shiju Raju, @Johannes Roux, @Sreenath G, @Zulfikhar Naiyar, @Ben Williams, @Deepak Eswar & @Juan R This is your mid-week reminder to check your availability towards the end of the week. The theme of this drive is to drive at slightly slower pace. As you drive in the dunes of Qudra and Lisaili, I encourage you to challenge yourself to drive with intentionality. Feel the gentle press of the pedal, the subtle shifts of the steering wheel, and the rhythm of your breath syncing with the track we draw on the desert canvas. So, let this upcoming Sunday be a celebration of you, your vehicle, and the road ahead a Dopamine Drive. 4 1 don't drive like its your last one.

Looper Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 @Juan R, @Ben Williams, @Deepak Eswar, @DTG, @Srilakshman Karthikeyan, @Ishak, @Sreenath G, @Zulfikhar Naiyar, @Imran Asghar, @Shiju Raju, @Johannes Roux and @Rob S Hope you are all ready for the drive tomorrow. Let us try to deflate and start the drive at 6:00 am, so you have to arrive a bit early. It is going to be an easy drive, and we will coast on the dunes at a comfortable pace. We will be on channel 2 and following is the convoy order. 3 3 don't drive like its your last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
