Didn't you already post this in another thread?

Exactly^^ I will never stop doing what I love because accidents out there. The majority of the time when accidents or fatalities occur out at Dumont is people misjudge the dunes. Rarely do people ever collide and get killed at Dumont. For the most part, everyone is safe on the big weekends as far as cresting dunes, etc. It sounds ALOT more dangerous than it really is when you hear about all the bad stuff. Yes it is a dangerous sport, but so is something as simple as driving to work. You gotta still live life. If I died out there doing what I loved, the last thing I would want is someone to stop doing what they loved because of me.

wow, that's a positive attitute

I WAS gonna do that when I was towing Joe Duner back from the nroth pole as well, but I only made one pass close to everyone at the back of the pack of people. I just couldn't do it! We got some laughs as it was already anyhow.

It was great having you, Mike. Good times were had! I'm looking forward to many more trips to hang out and go on some rides with you and everyone else. And I agree, there was ALOT of breakage this weekend. We helped alot of people in the dunes and alot of people helped us.

^^

exactly. It was a very bad crash and not many other cars, if any, would have been able to protect them in that situation. I don't think everyone understands the severity of this accident. I am suprised the car held up as good as it did.

Thanks for sharing some info about them, Chae. It is very sad to see such a tragic thing happen to such good people. They will not be forgotten. I wish the best to you, your family, and friends through this tough time. Hang in there.

That was some funny chit! I might not be able to make Vet's day, we'll have to see. Those that are going, go ahead and start a thread for one.

Tim it was cool to meet you. It was a fun ride with you guys that day despite my hangover.

Actually the more up and down shocks are mounted, the better. But I hear what you are saying. I personally still like the 5 link rear end like on my car instead of the a-arms SST uses. TomPro and King might be close, but I'd say TomPro makes the best mini rail out there. He knows his sh*t and I've seen his cars go. They are badass. King makes a nice car too though.

yep... http://tomprodesign.com/ This car has been out the last few trips at comp. It is pretty fast.

Yeah his friends on the scene told me leg was pretty nasty. It was turned around the wrong way he said.

Damn that guy didn't learn huh?

Hell yeah...I did the same! I'll have to do that! That was awesome! Thanks, Michelle!

Yep me too. I saw it coming a mile away...especially when you said to turn our speakers on! Der! That gave it away right there!

I love my ShortSandCar other than some issues with teh cheap a$$ spindles lately. Well actually I can't complain. The only other time I broke one was when I landed very wrong from a pretty high jump. I myself wouldn't go with a Sonic or Sandbullet. I have heard very good things about KingSandCars, TomPro, and even SickSandTravel. I would still buy another Short car regardless of the few issues I have had though. I love my car and have a blast in it. You are gonna have things go wrong eventually with any car you choose if you drive it somewhat hard.

I read bout that after I posted about the rumor I heard. That's why I didn't want to post up that it was a for sure thing and that it was a rumor. I wasn't sure. I hope he is ok and recovers quickly.

yes...this IS true. It was still funny though.

You are very welcome, Michelle. We heard about your friend, Quinn, and retreived him from the dunes. Duners have to help each other out. You never know when you yourself will need help. It was nice meeting you and your husband as well as your friend Quin and his wife. You are all very nice peeps. Here's when we pulled Quinn out with Dave Larson's buggy. It must have been Dave that took your friends up the dunes after I left. I broke my buggy's suspension and was busy trying to get it in the hauler and strapped down properly. Sorry about your friend. May he rest in peace.
