Uphill Sand Racers - UAE
This dune should honestly become the Nurburgring for engine & turbo testing. According to Wikipedia:
Check out this mad video of what went down at the last drag race:

In the United Arab Emirates, Moreeb dunes (Al Moreb Hill) is a place for organized drag races. With a reported 50 degree slipface, and height of 120 meters, it is a perfect place for sand drags. Moreeb Hill is supposedly the tallest dune in the UAE, and one of the largest hill climbs in the world. Because of its steep slopes it has been given this name (Moreeb Dune - Scary Mountain).

They mostly do. For this particular event actually they actually build the engines to last for one or two runs. The car's going back home on a trailer anyways so might as well lol
