oh damn that sucks,

Hey what ever happened to the 70 Regatta Pete put on a few years back?? Is there any interest in having a little 70 fun??

This is a really stout car, I can't wait to get it in the dunes... It's a 103in in the rear, so being mid engine and duel A Arm this thing should be fun.

This is a 2 seat mid engine duel A Arm car I just started on and I'm going to be In need of some parts, Seats Howe rack Bypass shocks 14in rear 12in front And a whole bunch more... This had these side scoops with the radiators inside them & decided to take them off, a couple reasons, one big one was getting in and out, it was going to be a pain in the ars to climb over them, the other, I was concerned about debris (wet sand, mud, weeds,ect) clogging up the radiators the way they were positioned inside, the scoops were right in line with the front tires so im going with one over the engine. If any of you know of anybody out there with parts that might work for this project please let me know. I'll post more pics as I go.... Thanks

Hey just checking with some of you to see if any of you might have any snowmobiles for sale or know of somebody that might have some for sale!! Let me know Thanks

Thanks man really looking forward to next year’s regatta like I said ol duneduc still can’t wipe the smile off his face after that trip, I will have to say these little basterds are addicting its been a great winter project, firing up the wood stove, cracking open a frosty beverage & start tinkering, good times for sure :atc:

Hey guys, haven’t been around here in awhile, ol duneduc came home after going to the 70 regatta & pretty much hadn’t shut up about it since & after seeing all the pictures it did look like a great time, so of course I had to get a couple of those little bad a$$ things going. The first one is a little 50 pit bike motor that I had with a big bore, that little thing frikkn screams. The other ones are just in progress :atc:

Edit to add, Are you sure you know what’s in those brownies, actually it’s obvious!

Trust me; I completely understand what both of you are saying, I wasn’t going to say anything at first but as this thread kept going I just thought I would bring up the fact that I do let my kid drive my LT car. A little off topic, my oldest boy who is now 18, who also has been driving some sort of motorized conveyance since he was old enough to walk as well, things like racing a 400 quad, TT flat track, with adults, a lot of people thought I was nuts, but it was something he loved to do & was good at it, & won the central California division, big bike little kid, when he turned 16 I sent him & my 12 year old at the time, to Anaheim to look at a rhino for me ( to buy) & from there sent him to sandiego to look at another one, the first one he didn’t feel it was very clean so he went to see the next one & bought it with the cash I sent him with, loaded it up in the back of my F450 & came home, which was about 6 hrs no of where he was. Is that irresponsible? Maybe not protecting him properly?? Edit to add where we live, Springville ca 1 hr north of bakersfield. One thing I can tell you, these boys are very responsible young adults who respect their piers, their surroundings, & most of all the Dunes. This is just in defence of the kid & his or her parents, nothing more, not all situations are the same!

It’s all good, I’m sure you’re a great parent

You mention, would I let my kid drive on the road, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yeah, why do I say that because I have, & I’m not going into why I did, just saying, you mention handing a 800 HP off-road car, absolutely not even the slightest concern of mine, you also mention what if, or what if, or what if, I’m not going to shelter my kid! & what if, well heaven forbid, that would be a tragedy, but we could sit here & talk about this all day long what if!! As much stupid shiat I’ have seen at the hill or in the dunes, its crazy I even take my kids out there! I just didn’t want to hide behind my computer & not mention that I do & have let my teenager drive my car!

Yes I remember that, its funny you mention that he seamed to have a great understanding of the car & that was because has as much time as I did in the building of that car I mean every nut & bolt he had a part in! It was after reading all the post it just made me think, am I being one of those irresponsible parents that some of you speak of?

Ok beat me up if you fill the need here, but let me tell you guys something, I have a 13teen year old that has been driving some sort of UTV ATV Dire bike or 4X4 since he was old enough to walk, I have a 73 Toyota land cruiser he & his buddies drive all over the 600 Acer ranch we live on, whether it being 4x4ing thru the mud climbing some hills or taking the jet skies to the ponds & backing them in unloading them & loading them back up & bringing them home, it’s the way he’s being raised! Now the last time I was out at Dumont he drove my 800 HP X-3 Buckshot & followed me in my car & my buddy brought up the rear in his car,(some of you might of seen him @ one of the meet & greats) oh I forgot to mention he had my buddies kid with him that is 12, anyway with all the seat time he has had in the dunes or at home I would feel more comfortable out there with him behind the wheel than most offroaders out there that maybe don’t have the seat time that this teenager does. & yes some of you are right about the fact that there is no age limit to drive an off road car but there is on an ATV! Do you think I’m being irresponsible here? Not that it would change the way I raise my kids, just asking?
