Overall it seems there is alot of variety with the cars getting podiums and top times. The BMW M-Series have done well in alot of different categories, as well as the Lotus Exige.  The more track-oriented cars like KTM X-Bow and Caterhams are also around the top times.  Alot of different variety of street and supercars were on show here. And splitting them up into different categories also made it more realistic to race similar types of models (power-wise). Even though there were alot of awesome machines at the track this year lets hope some new ones show up next year to add more competition….

All in all, a special thank you to GulfRun, Marzouq from Zdistrict , and also Al-Falah Car Wash for their great dedication and help in making this possible for everyone. Until next year… drive safely.

The pics after the break are from the 360 mall GulfRun car show. Click below to check them out.

The set up was great, there was a DJ with nice music and lots of booths for most of the sponsors as well as the GulfRun booth selling their merchandise along with raffle tickets for the 2 Vespa’s. Our great friends Marzouq from Zdistrict was there as well as elwehbi from thegulfrun blog and brakebanzeen among others.

The following photos below were all taken by a 2 and half year old boy. This was his first time using a camera and it was a Nikon P6000, he is currently looking out for job offers.

Also a raffle will be held on January 16th at 8pm for two special edition GulfRun Vespas. A GulfRun pearl white Vespa, and a special edition black Vespa. With all proceeds of the raffle being donated to Hayat Cancer Foundation.

Lots to be seen and enjoyed during the event at 360. Please make sure to pass by the GulfRun booth to buy raffle tickets as it being set up for a very good cause by the Hayat Cancer Foundation.  There will be other Gulf Run memorabilia items also on hand at the booth as well.

I didnt see them all but you will find some classics such as the battle of krueger, human beatbox, thriller remake and evolution of dance.

Has anyone noticed how badass the lyrics of eye of the tiger are? Obviously no one in this day and age can pull it off without either laughing or smirking. But when this song came out in Rocky and was unleashed to the world it became the anthem for every comeback. Whether it be Michael Jordan in sports or George Bush, Jr. in the White House.

Lyrics

Of course he is going to kick Mr T’s, the Russian and Apollo’s asses, how could he not win listening to something like that. Seriously, the guys who wrote the lyrics must have gone through alot of crap in their lives and just let it all out. Their name is Survivor for God’s sake, they must have had issues. My friend a dentist, or fake doctor insists they disagreed on the lyrics to the line “Cream of the fight” and broke up the band, but Bo Shaikha and myself agree it makes the song even cooler.

Manny Pacquiao would kick Mike Tyson’s ass out in his prime if he listened to this.

If you wanna make any kind of comeback, listen to this song, I know one person is listening to it as we speak…

Spectacular.
