Yes Nick it was great to meet you finally :)

Everyone looked awesome out there speeding around the track! We spectators enjoyed the fender benders and spin outs. :lol:

Karting should definitely happen again, but perhaps in the cooler months :wink:

Thanks everybody for the great evening. It sure felt strange driving a real car right afterwards. I felt the urge of cutting some sharp corners around trucks on emirates road :)

Special thanks to CarGirl for organizing. When I'm back in the office, I'll scan and post the results without names. I will say though in race 2 the top 6 had an equal number of men and women so good on all of yah :)

Nic,Jeevan and the rest it was great meeting you, always nice to put a face with a nic, pun intended :lol: :lol:

Pretty Penny Snowboarding is a great idea I was also thinking a road trip to Salahla I'll do some organizing when I'm back from the UK, i was reminded it was my turn again to organize :)

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to all those I collided with in qualifying. I was young and inexperienced and my actions were neither big, nor clever...

hey Jeevs

Any way to get our hands on the video? Do you have any ways of hosting it? What about the pics? If we're all wearing helmets then I doubt there's any problems with posting them :P

Any group pics before we got in the karts though?

Hey nick,

I am planning to do a nice writeup and post the pictures with the complete suit and helmets where no one can make out whos who on my website. about the other pictures i just have a couple of good shots During the brief for the group. i will mail it to you people, but just to the names that have been registered for the race :twisted:

The video i am going to make a movie out of it and burn it on a few cds and drop it off with one of you guys whos closest to everyone so you can collect it from him. or else organise another meet soon :lol: .

cheers,

Jerry

Jeevan, if you got a good internet connection you might want to consider www.yousendit.com to distribute the video (if it isnt really big) ..

looking forward to see those pics and videos .. thank you for taking them ..

Hey, I don't snowboard that well myself but its a blast anyway. And the coaches are cute! I'll try to organize one myself but I won't have any real time until September (travel, family, travel, work, yada, yada, yada). Mid September snowboarding then?
