Here is about where Tecopa is on the map you posted... Take a look at this map...click here If you are coming from Vegas here are the directions going the Tecopa way... Take 160 towards Pahrump. After you go over Mt Springs, continue down 160 (downhill for a ways, then a slight uphill small grade). Look for the Tecopa turnoff to the left. Stay on that until you go through Tecopa and then eventually hit HWY127 at a stopsign. Turn left and take that about 15-20 miles I believe. Then turn left on the gravel rd (Dumont Dunes Rd). There will be a sign. "Dumont Dunes" pointing to the left shortly before the turn. Hope this helps. Going through Baker is a little smoother and straighter, but it takes longer.

Mike, I wasn't (and I don't think anyone else was either) putting down his specific car. Kenny asked about input on the Ecotec motor and we all gave our opinions on it, not Todd's car. That was all. I re-read the posts and nowhere could I find where someone said anything bad about Todd's car or about Todd not being honest. All I said was that seems like alot of car for that little motor is all. It may run great, but from what I heard AND seen those Ecotecs run on the slow side. I have also been told by owners of them that you have to run the sh*t out of them if they are in a bigger car like the one he is selling. that's all. My Hayabusa runs awesome and makes plenty of power, but I wouldn't put it in a 4 seater. I wish him luck with the sale. It looks like a sweet a$$ car.

What's the big effen deal with this thing? I have seen all the crap all over the news: people getting robbed of their PS3 money , almost shot, camping out in front of stores for 3 days. Get a life people!! I even heard that one is up to 15,000 on Ebay? dumba$$es! Just wait two years and see what the pieces of crap are worth then. It will be like a Nintendo. :redhat:

Hi Mike, you made some good points, BUT (1) Joe Duner isn't really trying to sell his car. Everything he has is always for sale. He's just that kind of guy. He is just only looking out for his buddy, Kenny (rhino king). Joe has had alot of sandrails and has a lot of buddies who have sandrails. He wouldn't lie to him about something just to try and sell his car. When you think of it, toddk is doing the same thing as Joe. He is selling his car and giving his opinion as well. The car might run really well. All Ecotecs are different. They are built by different builders, some have turbos and some don't, some are takin care of and some aren't. The Ecotec in todd's car may in fact run really well. I am sure Joe was just speaking from his experience. He has alot of it. (2) RK IS doing all his own research. I have found that first (or even second) hand experience is the best form of advice. Many of us have friends that go to the dunes and know from there experiences, not just from our own. We wouldn't say the Ecotec is garbage unless we didn't know owners that have had em. I'm not trying to stir up an arguement here. I just want to let you know that most of everyone who has posted up here are friends w/ RK and wouldn't give him any BS answers or input. It sounds like Todd's car runs really well...unlike most Ecotecs. We are all just speaking from experiance. Whatever you do, Kenny, I hope you find a car that suits your style. ...which usually invovles stars and fruity colors. j/k

Lucky bastid I'm thinking of doing the same.

I thought I knew who you were talking about till I read the quote, then I was like WTF? Don't be startin any trouble now

WTF?

I'm with you, Jeff. I don't like schedules. It's like cel phones at Dumont- we don't need em. We could say this: 2PM ride time Fri & Saturday for the buggies and if anyone from the site wants to meet up for a quad/bike ride, just come by and we'll go!

You are half right, JJ. There was one where Davey Deals is now, but the other one (OLD one) was not where Carson Trailer is now. There was never a go-kart track there. It was on Boulder across from where Davey Deals is now or also where Gr8Auto was. Bert told be that there was a drag strip of some kind next to World Yamaha on Boulder, but that was before I lived here. I am talking about like 1989. This is when the old go-kart track was there that I am talking about. We went there when I was a kid. Damn..I'm gettin old.

That's very good news, Terry! How long before you go back to work? You gonna have alot of DDR free time at home now? Can't wait till you can get back out there.

OK, so bringing this topic back up.... does anybody wanna pick a time for a bike/quad ride too or just play it by ear and only schedule buggy rides to meet up? So far its: Friday/ 2:00 PM/ group buggy ride/ meet at our camp near bathroom 6 Saturday/ 2:00 PM/ group buggy ride/ meet at our camp near bathroom 6 Personally 2 times out of the day is too much for me to wanna have to plan around. It sounds stupid, but I like to play things by ear out there and relax. Ya know....no worries B) If anything I'd say let's just plan one ride for bikes...maybe sometime Saturday like noon or 4:00. any input???

How are you gonna do that when you are gonna be in Glamis? He was referring to a meet & greet at DUMONT over T Day. Hey nlvredneck, just cruise by our camp and say hi! :freakin_nuts:

I don't know what part of Henderson you guys are talking about, but my in neighborhood there is no "tucky" about it. I like to hang out in the garage have a few beers just like every other American who has a garage. :north_pole: Are you talking about the old co-cart track with the little yellow shack for an office? I remember the old one on Boulder, but it was where "The Library" is today (Boulder & 95). Those go-carts were dangerous and fast... good times! :freakin_nuts:

I know what you mean, but when the company I work for takes care of customers left and right it's upsetting to not be treated a fraction as good as the customers I (and the dealership) take care of. Yes...I of all people know how cust. svc is in the sh*tter these days with most companies. remember this? haha---->click and yeah, we're deep frying a couple turkeys for T-Day! :north_pole:

like Gerald said...NOBODY?? I knew, Gerald knew, and I am sure a few others knew as well. :freakin_nuts:

Thanks for the heads up, Caleb. I have a bunch of errands to run Saturday. I'll try and stop in and say hi and check out some rides. oh yeah....AND STOP YELLING!!!! (caps lock) :freakin_nuts:

BUT...if customers who buy these big expensive trailers don't get taken care of by the manufacturer AFTER they buy the trailer, what would make them buy again from the same company? I think all these big companies are forgetting this. Customer service doesn't stop at the sale. Oh and thanks, Richard. I would have taken you up on the offer.

I hear ya, Richard, but I have no doubt that I wouldn't have been able to figure it out. I just didn't have the time to mess with it being so close to T-Day and getting other stuff ready for the trip. It's not even the cost of it that really pisses me off. It's the fact that they didn't take care of it and cover at least half the cost with it being so close to still "in warranty". I, of all people, understand that labor and time costs money, but I also know how a big name company should stand behind their product (even out of warranty by a month) to keep their customers to come back. ESPECIALLY being that the part obviosly failed to to manufacturer's defect and not because of excessive use or abuse. :freakin_nuts:

Good times last night :north_pole: It was nice to meet a couple new DDR faces. :freakin_nuts: Gilligan! HAHA That's right....I forgot about that.

Why the old thread bump, Don? And what are you talking about?

you're catching on :chev_bowtie:

Very nice car, Kirk. :chev_bowtie: Will you be able to keep up with this one? j/k Can't wait to go duning!

I'm already drinking! See you guys there!

Let's post this video on the HOMEPAGE! :chev_bowtie: It's fuggin hilarious! ....yet TRUE!
