Sadistic people, that's who.

Unfortunately the person who's done it is lovely so telling her that I won't be there felt bad when explaining that I'll be at home or in the pub instead of the office.

Desert racing with the Emirates Motorsport Club tomorrow in RAK near to Dhaid. Early night for me as we will hit the road at 05:30 to get to the start in time. Beers afterwards to wash the dust out of our gullets....

Good luck Mr. Dog, tell me, how many of the vehicles in the baja has Saluki Motorsport had a hand in prepping?

I'm heading up to Taste of Abu Dhabi with the family. A quiet say I suspect. Will have the wife drive back so I can have a beer or 6.
Golden Tulip in Ghantoot has a Brewfest on. 99dibs, unlimited beer for 8 hours (50 to choose from, although I suspect it may just be the cooking later that's included in the unlimited beer package). might pop in for a look on the way back.

I've always wondered what you need to drop to do races like this. How much are you talking? Do you rent out the cars or would one need to buy them?

The big cars are a different animal and depends how many events you would intend to undertake to make it worthwhile. Costs for a new car vary between AED 700K to AED 1.6M! ;-) :-)

A Polaris RZR / Yamaha YXZ UTV will be in the region of AED 12,000.00 for a one day rental. Purchasing a fully prepped UTV will be approx AED 115K and is very dependent on the specification.

Does the rental rate include support? Transport, mechanics etc?
