untilThe 4th Annual Buggy Roundup Dune Trip will be Dec 9-11, 2016. This is an annual Dumont trip for all the guys and girls who have buggies. We camp together as a group across from bathroom 10 on the hard pack. This way nobody gets lost or stuck. The Buggy Roundup gives everyone a chance to meet up, hang out, and run the dunes together without the madness of a holiday weekend. New to the Roundup? No problem. Just post up on the forum topic that you are coming and you're in. The circle is big and there's always room for more. We'll make a second ring if we have to. Many of us know each other, but many don't. One thing's for sure...at the end of the weekend, total strangers end up leaving as friends. Schedule of Events There isn't one! This is Dumont. We don't look at our watches or have schedules. Sometimes we sleep in, sometimes we get up early to shred the dunes. It all depends on how much fun we had the night before. We usually hit the dunes runs whenever someone in camp yells, let's roll! Buggy Weigh In: If Ben is able to bring his scales this year like he has in the past, you'll get a chance to weigh your car. Get a full digit readout of the weight at all four corners. Place bets and talk crap about how each others car needs to go on a diet! Tacos and UFC: This year we'll be hosting tacos and UFC! We'll be grilling up carne asada for everyone and projecting UFC 206 on the side of a trailer. Grab a taco and a beer and find yourself a spot around the fire. RSVP Just post up on the forum topic and tell us you are in. Feel free to upload a pic of your rig and buggy as well. Side x Sides and Bikes We don't discriminate, however this is the BUGGY roundup. Everyone is welcome to come camp with the group, but we ask that all bikes and side x sides hop behind the buggies on dune runs. It's for your own safety. Big cars don't mix well with bikes and side x sides. Last years trip report http://www.dumontduneriders.com/invision/index.php?showtopic=20475

Haha things are still a little slow around here. Usually mid October there's a bunch more action. You're welcome to join our group. We're a bunch of buggy guys who like to go fast and have some drinks, laughs and good conversation at night around the fire.

Good luck, man. I'm sure there are other options. I've rented from EL Monte RV in the past too. They were good to deal with.

Mid 30's at night? What elevation will you be at?

Isn't that just a regular 3 days for you? Doesn't have to be a weekend right? BTW, you need a new avatar Terry. Maybe a pic of you golfing on a dune? haha

What's everyone doing for Labor Day weekend? Hitting the mountains? Lake? Beach? Someplace else worth mentioning? Let's hear it. I had a nice 4 day weekend last weekend in Mammoth. Trying to decide where to go this weekend. It's hard for me to stay in town, but holiday weekends get busy everywhere.

Looking good. Exciting to see it come together. I've always been a fan of these cars. I knew Stephan and Thomas from V8 Rail back in the day. I almost pulled the trigger on 2 seat V Rex frame but didn't have the time, funds or patience for a project. I'm good friends with Ryan. I took that pic you posted of Ryans green car back in 2004. His red car is insane. This is from 2008 at Glamis. https://youtu.be/6RqdRiql62o Good luck on the build! Hope you get it together quickly.

Like he said, get that car finished! I think you're right. That is playing a big role in the itch. haha

Lots of car for the price of a side x side! Wow that shouldn't last long.

Hey man, you got anymore of that crack sand? In the summertime I always stay busy with other adventures, camping, hiking, mountain biking, etc. I don't know what it is about today though. I seriously got the itch to hit some sand! I went out to the garage last night and it was even giving me dirty looks! We still have 2 months before Dumont dune season starts. I might have to make my way to some higher elevation sand before then though. I dunno. Anyone else getting the itch? This picture sure doesn't help!
-
Yep, the price tag is always the deal killer for that kind of power/weight ratio machine. They look fun for about 10k, therefore I'll never own one. On a side note, I find it hilarious that Can Am put BJ Baldwin in their promo video "sitting on the sidelines" watching the new X3 fly by.

Sure it is, Paul. I bet it makes the garage looks fantastic. Side note: whats the red car in your profile? You have a 2 seater too? Looks badass. -
That's gonna make a HUGE difference in the sand. Quite an upgrade. You have to be stoked for dune season. Congrats!!

The lightning storms were impressive last night so Anna & I headed to the Eldorado dry lake with my camera and tripod and literally watched the show for hours. The skyline to the east and above Nelson was lit up all night. More photos on my site, livelikepete.com/lightning-in-the-desert/
