Actually the trip was still planned even with our trip last weekend, but the Glamis trip kinda changed things for Xmas weekend. We were originally going to meet the new owner in Flagstaff, but decided to meet at G instead. He is from Texas, so we won't even see the car down in G. He goes to a small place called Kermit...pretty fitting considering the color of the car.

Well we're out unless we can somehow swing a day trip on Saturday with the car. I gotta save my pennies for New Year's...will be heading down to do a Glamis trip and deliver my Busa that weekend.

This last weekend was amazing out there. Anna & I did a nice relaxing date trip...just the two of us. We've been wanting to get away and do a trip like that to D for a while now. It was SO CHILL and such nice weather all weekend. We had a perfect weekend. Kyle, I saw you out there a couple times but you were quite a ways away to be able to say hi. I took a couple pics of you playin on the face hill. I saw that helicopter as well that wasn't too far from our camp. Friggen BALLERS! Those dunes were perfect. Good lines, but not too many tracks. There were a couple nasty lookin holes and witches eyes from the recent rain, but nothing too unpredictable. We only took the quads so we'd be able to get a bunch of riding in and we sure did. We had Dumont all to ourselves. Saturday we only saw 2 quads in the dunes and some people at comp, then Sunday there were only 2 rails we came up on (Lyle in his V8Rail and another guy in a 2 seater). It was some awesome riding. It felt good to finally have a chill, off weekend to ourselves especially after the chaos of the last few trips. We got the perfect mix of riding our a$$es off all over Dumont and still getting plenty of relaxing, sleeping in and watching movies in the hauler...just how a dune trip should be. And yes, we had glass bottles... ...that were properly disposed of. A person doesn't get much more relaxed than this. Passed the eff out to some chill music sitten next to the fire with a beer. jIAh! AHHHHHHHHH....I love that place.

Hey guys, I moved the new posts to a new trip report thread for last weekend.

I'd lean towards a bad U joint or bent driveshaft. Those speeds are pretty typical of driveline vibrations. Have the driveline checked for straight. It's not too expensive. Adam's Driveline here in Hendo is pretty reasonable.

Hell yeah, glad to hear you guys will be back! Hit me up when you get in town bro. lol

You mean spectator? Paul I have you down for 1 participant and 1 additional t-shirt. No spectator was selected. I just assumed you bought an additional shirt for someone at home. I can add a spectator to the head count if it will be you plus 1 more.

Lookin good, Justin. Your going farther than I am with the polishing of parts you'll never see.

Al will be going off the number I have from the rsvp's and registered participants. So if you are gonna be there and want some good grub, click the link and get it done. Why is it so hard for some people to do that? lol

ynot has stepped up as well to help make this event happen. SAXBY'S COFFEE on Seven Hills Pkwy & new store opening soon on Maryland Pkwy here in Vegas is now on the list of official event sponsors! Thanks again Terry!

OK this is who we have registered so far... registered participants White Rhino Skinner ninjagreengirl Randog Matt86m ronster KRUSTY Jackster mineurbiz vegas style POULE43 RG25911 raspadoo Miss99 dunefreak duniemonke RAGDOLLMX ISBB spectators (1) Miss99 (1) raspadoo (1) dunesmurf (3) don29palms (1) 80 grit (1) yfzrider53 (1) Chadwhick (3) TPD duner (go raiders, malibu vlx, whatever he goes by now lol) (4) Jackster84 (1) sandawg (1) matt86m If you are not on the list and think you registered already, contact me. Otherwise, get cracking and click the link and register. Note: your forum screen name or password has nothing to do with the store. You need to fill out a new account when checking out if you don;t already have one. It takes 2 minutes. ALSO: if you are registered as a participant but forgot to include the people or family who are coming out with you, please go in and rsvp them as spectators (free) so we have a total head count for the food!

I will have to look through the orders/ rsvp's and post up how many we have of each.

Al that is the biggest reason I am having everyone rsvp, even spectators.

nope, I always get my parts sent to my work. It's sometimes cheaper to send them to a business anyways.

:shout: quit jackin my thread bitchezzz!

As for the races: 1) We will have the fastest lap race where every participant gets the track to themself for 3 full laps and the best of the 3 laps is his or her fastest time. Winner from each class gets a trophy at the awards ceremony. Classes are stock, modified, & unlimited as mentioned earlier. 2) The drag race will be (2) 70's per race (as with any oter drag race) and it will be process of elimination for each class. Same goes for the trophies, 1 for each class. 3) The main event group race at the end of the day is ALL CLASSES racing together. We will stage everybody according to their fastest lap times or classes. Slow peeps are in the front and the fast guys are in the rear. This will make a fair and interesting race. We will set the number of laps when we do it. I'm thinking 10 laps. We could have qualifying pre-races if time permits. I'm thinking we get the "organized" races out of the way though so we can get on with the raffle, awards, and free time racing fun afterwards.

That sounds awesome! Thank you! E-mail me for the address to mail it to. pete@dumontduneriders.com

Well then rsvp through the link.

The Lifan motors bolt right in an atc.

Well all my parts are now prepped, sanded and ready for paint! Now time to spend some rediculous cash over at dratv.

It is all about personal opinion, but in my years of duning nothing beats A Skat Trak Extreme Hauler. I have put them on every quad I have owned. They still turn just fine if you know how to ride, they hook like nothing else, and the extreme's hold up over time even if you go blasting over the flat stretches that are rocky. I have 6 years on my Haulers on my Raptor and they still look and work great. But to tell you the truth, those Sand Shark II's are the chit as long as you don't mount them on "crappy Douglas wheels." Oh and are you running 91 octane in the dunes? Cause that matters as well. p.s. if I still have my other Raptor the next time you go out, you are welcome to use my paddles for the weekend and see how they work.
