the official mourning period for any muslim is 3-days (after burial), whether you are a sheikh or an average local employee, its governed by islamic law as well as UAE law.

Thanks for that info Ahmed, looks like i should be able to make this

im gonna try and get some books out of the way for RC saturday and i hope to see you there....but if the police comes around then i want everyone to put on a sad face and let me do the talking....

I should make it for mini this week as well. Sign me up........

who died? I was under the impression today is dry because of the Prophet's birthday....and there was no classiscal music on this morning when I was in the car...

Ok, Greg, Ahmed and Dan included....Dan, assumption that you are in GT?

Andy, it was some person with a fairly high post in the goveronment. Not sure who exactly, but yeah...

Andy yep put me down for GT, thanks. Plus i think our station is one of only a few who are taking part

mini & GT for me

gt for me

People,

We have 10 mini, and 10 GT racers for tomorrow. We will be starting the heats at 4pm SHARP!

By that I mean filipino time will be ignored, Insh'allah will not be applied, the old "Hey wait for me, I am putting new tires on" will be dismissed.

When the Automodex event happens, you will be forc3ed to sit out a heat if you are not on time. Too bad huh? No points.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ...for tomorrow, you need to remember:

Bring a servicable vehicle, repairs can be made, but please dont arrive and start putting it together....you have up until 4pm to do that.
Be punctual.
Make sure you have a body that has a clear windshield, or a cutout for the transponder
Be punctual.
Make sure you have an open place on your rx to plug the transponder into. Alterntively, get a y-cable.
Make sure you can access the transponder easily, we need to change them after each race.
Be punctual.
Be prepared to marshall for the other class.
Be punctual.
We will run a Mini race, then a GT race, NO REPAIRS TO BE MADE BETWEEN HEATS, ONLY BETWEEN ROUNDS.
Be Punctual.

Also, I know the Saturday meets are a chance to compare cars, compare batteries, swap & sell but could we do that AFTER the sun has gone down....simply because you can....racing mini and GT after dark is not possible...

Lastly,

BE PUNCTUAL.

LOL, I am sounding like a dictator....but I am not EL PRESIDENTE, I just want to have fun in an organised way....ok?

Oh, I said there was no entrance fees, but if we do this every OTHER week, and get enough entrants, we can start a racing season, and points will be accumulated, we can start on an affordable entrance fee, with the aim of a couple of decent prizes at the end of the season...like a championship....

hey there is a prob can i join hte gt a bit later because im buying a body shell from the drifting guys. and still im looking for battery which i can use for tomorrow anyone has??
and can i drive without bodyshell till it arrives?

Hi Aemal, I would like to be lenient with you, but if you meet the person you are buying the shell from a little earlier, then cool, if not, I am afraid we will be starting at 4pm.

Better be there at 3:30 then......hmmm

hey andy can join on mini tomorrow?

Lindsey, yep pile on in....more the merrier.....

Just make sure you are compliant on the rules....most importantly, stock silvercan
