Just got back in town will head to dadar, and see if they will still accept my registration. Any heads up ......will call vishal tomm and fix this.

Heman · 2nd February 2009, 11:10

Where? Do you mean at Dadar.

Yes, I got parking there since it was a weekday (Fri) and I reached around 8.00 pm.

I was thinking that if Team-Bhp members are coming for the Rally, then probably we can meet on Sat (the day of the trial run) so that we can get to know each other. I am very new here, hence it would be nice if we all can interact.

There is a meet on saturday. See the intial post from GTO quoted below:

There will be no trial run. This is not a drag. It's a time bound rally. So you have to drive within the time limits, no reaching early or late.

Quote:

The coupling event will be held on Saturday, the 7th of February at 1600 hrs (until 1800 hrs). A brief on the rules & regulations will be conducted. Also, you will be introduced to your navigator at the event. Location : NAB (National Association of the Blind) on Worli Seaface (Next to Blue Sea)

d_himan · 2nd February 2009, 16:09

Pls. count me in (hopefully! The completed form+cheque would reach today afternoon/tomorrow morning). Have also put in details in my company's CSR website - hopefully a few more would join in...

Sorry guys will not be able to make it as i travel from tom till next week. Was looking forward to being there but i guess i would have to wait till the next one.

viper · 4th February 2009, 08:47

Sorry Guys,

Will have to opt out as well. A very close family member is in the hospital in the ICU and may not make it. Looks very dicey.

guys what time is everyone meeting tomorrow at NAB?

any plans of a meet/dinner after the briefing???

GTO · 6th February 2009, 14:00

UPDATE : The Indian President - Pratibha Patil - is scheduled to visit Mumbai on Sunday. Hence, access to south Mumbai's roads will be restricted from 0700 - 1400 hours!! Unfortunately, the Blind Man Car Rally will have to be post-poned.

Most probably, it will be rescheduled for sunday, the 15th of February. However, I will confirm only once I receive an official update from the organisers.

Tejas@perioimpl · 6th February 2009, 14:10

Damn! Atleast it gives me more time to send in my form.
The organizers must be pretty miffed seeing their efforts being wasted like this...
