By the way I am almost ashamed to ask this, but do we need a UAE driving license to drive a kart? I still don't have my license here... Haven't had time to do it since I got to Dubai...

Noooo don't worry

you don't need a licence - you just need to be over the age of 14!!

ok guess its time to get some info up here...

a colleague of mine is coming along - so you can add "bpl" to the list.

and bpl brings a cheerleader along (his wife)

Ok Girls and Boys

Some do's and dont's

Do
Arrive by ten pm
wear light comfortable clothes you will sweat
bring dry clothese to change into after
suits will be provided
wear trainers or other closed FLAT shoes
Bring plenty of water or other soft drinks
pay attention to marshalls - if you are worried about anything ask me or someone in charge

Don't

Drink alcohol before hand
wear sandals

I think that covers it - if anyone has questions just PM me or call

Directions:
The autodrom is situated very close to Arabian ranches just off that horrible roundabout on the emirates road

From beach road take the road that runs paralell straight up from the Burj

Keep going through Al Quoz

Carry on straight until you get to the road with Dubai Land on it you should be able to see the Grand stand straight ahead

at the roundabout (emirates road) where the big space ship etc is
go straight ahead

Take the autodrome entrance 1st on your right

Follow the road straight up and look for signs to the kart drome

See you all there

Cargirl how long will we be racing?

we'll finish around midnight nick, but the actual time behind the wheel is I believe 45 mins or so.

We'll have to find a place that will let us in... I mean they're going to be facing a hord of sweaty, smoke-smelling humanoids

See ya tonight peeps!

I am half dead as I got food poisoning yesterday and didnt' sleep at all last night but there's no way in hell that I am missing this! I already missed the big meeting and the karaoke night! Guess I'll take my chances. Just be sure to call the paramedics if something goes wrong...

Bring some adult underwear in case you need to crap in your pants!

Have lots of fun guys & do take care! Will hopefully join you guys next time!

EJ, we haven't seen you forever. You must come out next time!

Hope you all had a great time. Wish I could have been there.

Well what can I say... I've got this HUGE blister on my thumb, I still haven't stopped sweating, shaking and I must've lost a few pounds of water... It's a miracle I can still walk

BUT it was great. Great races, great meeting you all and get a chance to put faces to the names! Special wink to Kanelli, Maaad, Jeevan, Fayz and the person who made this possible: Cargirl!!! And I got a ride in the Golf R32 she was test driving

Anyway hope to meet u all very soon! Maybe for a drink, dinner? We were SUPPOSED to have a drink after the race but I think losing 90% of our bodily functions made us reconsider
