Can you say DUSTY??? Man, there was hardly any wind which made for some pretty think dust that hung over Dumont all weekend. In addition to that, the smoke from the CA fires also made it very dark and hazy. It was pretty warm for October. I wore shorts all weekend and it was pretty nice. The meet & greet was huge. Great turnout, everyone. I got to meet some really cool people from the board and friends of friends. Everyone I talked to all weekend was so nice and down to earth. Here is the whole trip report in a nutshell (aka obervations).... -dusty as hell -lots of people- Dumont was pretty packed like usual -no fatalities that I hear of ....hopefully that was the case -quite a few camp racers like always (I've learned to not even get mad anymore- what are ya goona do?) -got a couple really good buggy rides in with Randog, and crew. yiah yiah -late night cheese :fro: 's are still the bomb -small camps kick a$$ -OGP had a DDR camp that he didn't even plan on. -comp hill was goin on Fri and Sat night -Seems as though everyone had a problem keeping 4 tires on their sandrails this weekend. -some guy on a quad hit a truck head on (at a slow speed between the rows of everyone) then crashed into buggchick's Jeep at comp Sat night -Joe Duner was very happy Fri night -ISBB actually showed up again I even heard him say eff Glamis- Dumont kicks a$$ -sanddunesaddict had a pretty bad tumble on his DS -some clown decided to wheelie across comp on a busy weekend resulting in running over a guy on a Banshee. The guy was life flighted out with some broken ribs and pretty bad shape. I hope he is ok. The rail also rolled. -barefoot bob is now buttcrack bob -I had no run-in's with the Rangers this weekend -The dunes were nice at first, but Saurday it got pretty chopy and rutted -It was great seeing everyone again. Having dune family is awesome. I'd like to thank each and every one of you guys that helped me out on Saturday when my buggy broke down. Pauly, ynot, Mike B, barefoot bob, Captnkllm, HI Turtle, Randog and buddys, etc etc. The list goes on and on with very helpful and caring people that I am proud to call friends. Thanks you guys- I truly appreciate it. Pictures coming soon. I took some, but not as much as usual. The DDR paparzzi (buggychick) took plenty though. BTW, If anyone wants to add a few pics to it I have created a Halloween 07 album in the gallery that anyone can upload into. Just click upload file and then choose the Halloween 07 folder to place it in.

oh ok. Yeah I was thinking about the heat today. It was pretty damn warm for October.

I think that was from when he pulled in though. They were supposed to grade it today. I doubt he loaded up and went back down the road today to go test it out. :beer_bang: When are you going out, Tiff? I thought you were already there w/ him.

We finally have a winner. Congrats Joe.

Was he the cause of some of the fires or what? What was he doing?

Any word if the road has been graded yet?

:beer_bang: WTF????

I mergred that post into this thread. There is no reason to start a new topic when there already is one about "I can't wait". :peek: :freakin_nuts:

American vehicles- YES....with Japanese motors (Duramax's) They aren't as hard to work on as they used to be only cause I am getting better or maybe more used to working on them. BTW: That truck in the pic is just a simple teardown & motor swap. You have to remove the entire front end to get it out of the truck though. :peek: :peek:

:peek: :peek: :shout: Halloween DDR meet & greet: Saturday, 2PM @ the south pole! :freakin_nuts:

Yep, it sucks. I used to love working on stuff and building cars/trucks, but I just can't get into it anymore. By the time I get home, I can't even THINK about working on anything automotive related either. I wonder why????

The 2 seaters are about 1000 lbs. They have come a long way.

Yep, that was the latest word from ynot. He attended the TRT meeting on Tues so that should be correct info.

InvisiTrophyKart!!! impressive, but WHY?

We could be there earlier, but why? Why not take our time getting up, have breakfast, maybe go for a ride, and THEN go over when we are comfortable to do so? Huh Ken? huh? huh????Why not???? huh? So should we expect you and Jerry to show up and help then Sunday AM???

Great!.....but does anybody know what the barometer, humidity, visibilty and dewpoint will be like??? I don't know if it will be quite badass enough for me to come out. Ya just never know these days. Maybe I'll stay home instead. If there aren't perfect weather conditions, there isn't good enough reason to go have fun in the sand and get drunk with friends! riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Just meet up at comp Sunday morning between 10 and 11 like Jim said and look for the only hungover idiots picking up trash and then just start helping. We'll be there.

I'll be there Sunday.

and a rail...oh wait thats right- you can't SEE invisirails. Those things are badass though. ???????? one of what?

except, thats HIS car, not hers!

PASSES or OHV stickers? Tha passes are only $20. I got mine for 20 yesterday from them. The stickers are $25 now from I've heard so far.

It's gonna make the best of section fo sho.

No, I am pretty damn sure Ed was talking about the RZR. You are WAY off RC! But funny as hell you thought of it that way. I really meant him calling him wife MAMA was disgusting. BUT, if he calls her that because she is the mama of their kids then I guess I can understand that. I have heard guys call their wives/significant others MAMA before but it was more in a creapy way. :fro_smokin:

That must be one of their older cars. All the cars they build now are LT. My Short Sand Car has ~18-19" of travel in the rear and about 21 in the front.
