Be prepared for a thrill drive in a non classical route from pink rock to big red ascending and descending back and forth till we find our way out .

    Pre Drive Info , Please READ before you join this NIGHT drive

    Welcome to Carnity Off road Club Newbie Night drive . Please Note the following important points to keep in mind and and adher to it for your own and every one safety please :

    If this drive is your first one in convoy with Carnity i highly recommend NOT to join it for the first time at night and instead please let your first drive be in day light to get aquatinted and the next one can be at night.

    If this is your first Night Drive , regardless of your rank , dont worry and note the following tips to keep in mind :

    1. No Need for Off Road Lights , if you have them its ok , and the high beam stock light and fog lights is more than sufficiant as you are following the light of the front car ahead.

    2. the distance between cars falls to half , meaning that if in day light we keep for example 6 to 8 cars difference in the night would be 3 to 4 as the speed by default is reduced to half as well.

    3. Radio communication is Vital . NO one is permitted to cross the dune unless hearing clearily from the one who crossed on the radio CLEAR .

    4. Please when ever we stop for a break or any reason and you exit your car keep the radio with you always and dont keep the radio in the car. also please see where you step in the pitch black by carrying a torch . also try to avoid being near bushes as the night kreepers usually hide there.

    5. please make sure to have full cover of your feet and legs to protect them from those kreepers .

    If you have any queries please leave them in the thread and will try to our best knowleage to answer them.

    more to come approaching the time of the drive before closure of the RSVP one day before . Stay Tuned.

     

     

    This drive is organized in full compliance with the COVID19 guidelines. We expect every member that joins this drive to go through below information and strictly follow these guidelines.

     

    MUST READ AND TOTALLY AGREE:

    Hello every one 

    time to revive this post and keep it dynamic and useful so it can be a reference to all of us to share experience and discuss .

    here we go 

    yesterday I was pulled from my crest from back . We all talk about front heavy or back heavy and according to this comes the pull direction . Sounds logical of course . The question is what does it mean which side is heavy ? 

    see below and let me know how you think of it . ( I wish I could have more picture from the side and the front ) 

     

    I would like to share my experience with my own car which I know exactly where its center of gravity lies , so should every one know his own car point of center of gravity. 
     

    From the clip it looks like the car is inclined toward the other side the slip side . However with close observation ( that’s why always get out of your car when feasible and safe and look around ) the center of gravity didn’t cross the crest and the crest acted like a ( speed bump ) to overcome forward. Consequently it would be easier to reverse it down than to overcome it because the center of gravity is at the hard side of the crest irrespective of how the apparent looking of the car. 
    now as such and without shovelling the backward gentle stretch or pull as you see in the clip is far easier than if we have tried from in front . 
     

    To make this  more clear . Let’s imagine if we have shovelled properly creating the V channel just clearing the ( speed pump ) this means we moved the center of gravity passed the crest toward the slip side or at least no speed pump or crest to over come and then the forward movement will bring it down As this is the most common scenario we encounter . 
    see below please from another Carnity drive last winter in lisaili

    Now look closely the little difference with great impact after shovelling . I didn’t even need to press the gas just lifting off the brake and here we go

    What a lovely Drive that was yesterday. Thank you all dear friends for coming and  revealing together one of the dozens of mysteries of Lisaili😄 . Looking at my previous tracks no one is alike not even close , that’s why they call us the explorers , desert wanderers and dune surfers 🏄‍♀️.
