I have a cheapy China pipe from 50 Caliber Racing that sounds good on mine. It's the over pipe. Not sure if it is chrome or polished. It has held up good for ~10 years so far.

It's a couple clubs out of California that race, Dunemasters and Sandpipers. You'll have to look into who's in charge, probably Bill LeFever, and see how you can join. I don't know that it is a club that just anyone can join though. They are all very close friends of 50+ years.

Why would they shut it down? There has been no talk of doing that unless social distancing isn't respected. But Dumont is huge and there is plenty of space to spread out. BLM has not mentioned anything to us about it getting closed.

From Bill who runs the waterpumper event.. The annual Thanksgiving weekend Dune Master and Sand Piper Old School Buggy Sand Drags and Hill Climbs are on for 2020. The Drag races will be Friday, November 27th starting at 10am on the flats on the way to the North Pole. The Hill Climbs will be held on Saturday, November 28th also starting at 10am on the big hill just to the left of comp hill. Spectators are welcome. Social Distancing and other Covid safe practices are encouraged. Sorry, Participants are limited to Club members only due to our BLM permit and insurance requirements

You can try Barstow BLM 760-252-6000

The east Valero is only selling season passes. Nobody is selling the weekly passes this season for whatever reason.

Some more pics from the weekend. We had a great time.

I sent a guy your way on Thurs I think it was. Hopefully he found you. He was in a RZR with a buddy who needed something welded.

Like every holiday weekend, there's good points and bad. I had a blast, but the every holiday weekend I go, the more I enjoy the off weekends. I didn't appreciate the insanely loud mariachi band music at all times of the day from every direction. The people who blasted that music that loud were really inconsiderate. I wish they'd be a little more respectful of others, especially crazy late at night and at 8AM!

I haven't seen that many people out there since like 2004!

You'll have to ask the BLM about that. I, personally, wouldn't show up to vend if I did not have a permit to do so.

Meet at which end of vendor row? Closest to the ranger station and rock pile side?

Nice! Great to hear.

Whoa, Kevlar! It's been a minute. Welcome back.

Just an FYI, I heard there won't be an ice vendor this year. Gonna be alot of melted ice this weekend in people's coolers. 😄

We're planning on being there. What's the official time? 10:30 AM on Sat? Depart at 11?

Yes, Verizon kicks ass. Still no other carriers though. Those guys are slacking.

Less than a week away! I've been working like crazy prepping and getting ready. We should have some good weather, maybe even cooler than past years. Highs around 80 and overnight lows in the 40s! Every other year I remember it being well into the 90's during the day.

We have a new sponsor that will be of great service to the duners. Rich in Baker has plenty of firewood for sale that you can pick up on your way to Dumont. Call or stop in. His place is on the left side of HWY 127 just as you leave Baker heading towards Dumont. 760-613-4600 57376 HWY 127 Baker, CA 92309 https://goo.gl/maps/EPHzwkfeYCuuUouz9

Oh ok, I'm not sure why I read ONE Verizon. Derrr 😄🤦‍♂️
