wow...what a fun weekend out at D! :blury:

The weather was awesome, kinda warm at times during the day, but otherwise perfect.

I burned through so much gas this weekend. :porn: :lol: We went on some bitchen buggy runs with everyone. I didn't even ride the quad once. :dayum: The car did great this weekend. The dunes had some great lines. They were choppy in some areas, but overall pretty fast lines. It's too bad we only had part of our crew :randog: but we still had a good size pack of buggies jammin all weekend.

The turnout was pretty good. Kinda about what I expected and seemed slightly more than last Halloween.

Seemed like very few mishaps. :lol:

Comp was rockin Fri & Sat night.

I thought the entrance road was pretty good IMO. :ninja:

The meet & great was good times as usual. It was a great turnout and I was happy to meet a handful of really cool peeps. :angry2:

Camp was good times. I have some pics from some late night shananigans.

I didn't take too many pics this weekend because I was too busy having fun. :dope: I got some I will post up later though.

Smokin Al's BBQ HOOKED US UP with some killer grub! Breakfast burritos were the bomb and those ribs were to die for. :eat: Thanks again Al. SO GOOD!

Our Racin Dirty/ DDR dune newz flyers turned out great and I hope everyone got one on the way in or at vendor row.

The shower guy rig never showed. :yawn:

The haunted house looked awesome but we never had a chance to go Sat night. We were too busy handing out a ton of candy to kids while we grilled up some killer carne. We ran out of candy so we started giving out DDR stickers. :ninja: The kids loved em though except for one little brat of a girl. She kinda put up a stink and then stuck her tongue out at me. :coocoo: wtf? :dayum:

Anyways, thats all for now. Great weather, killer dune runs, awesome friends, good eats, lots of party time and no mishaps....I couldn't ask for much more! :coocoo::laughoff:

pics to come....

Yes it was yet another awesome weekend out at Dumont!!! :angry2:

I don't think I can find anything to even think about complaining about, personally anyway!

Camp was awesome!

Dunes were great, not too tore up as long as you stayed in a groove! Definately good lines!

New tires rocked! I thought I would take it easy my first trip out in them, but noooo, first thing Friday morning, I jumped in a line behind Vegas Style, with Pete leading a nice line of buggies, Ynot, OGP, Mike, Donnkey, and Randog's group. I kept up with them! :yiah: That was my best riding yet!! I hope Mike got tons of good video of that ride!

Went on another one later with, I think Lou leading, to the back side (west) of comp, in the big dunes where I don't like it very much, but I still kept up with them and even popped over the top of comp went down :hatdance: screaming all the way! :blury:

Spent Sat leading Dune Smurf around on some girl rides, that was fun, leading! :coocoo:

This morning had a nice bumper to bumper 3rd sometimes 4th gear run, I ate alot of sand, but was paying attention to what the guys were doing, turning and such, while I was getting used to the rear end slide that comes with the tires!

I also was having way to much fun to take alot of pics, but I will get some up tomorrow after the computer gets in from the hauler and Mike's video gets put together!

And Smoking Al's lived up to everyones bragging! :dope::laughoff: the BEST ribs I have ever had! It was my first time even eatting at venders row! Next time I am trying the pork burrito!! Mmmmm....mmmm

Arrived around 8 ish on fri night... ended up having to park on the comp side of the last finger (dont like that area much). As I made the turn around the finger my work truck with my enclosed trailer decided to dig in.... so stuck. With in a few minutes a friend came by and pulled me out. Parked the 5er in the camp spot, turned on the genny and light would not stay on with my 12 volt system just 110.... so generator ran from fri night till sunday afternoon when we left.. I either have a bad battery of maybe the converter is bad... not sure.... water pump lights and heater would kick on and off even with the generator running. went to pull the car around camp to pull in my enclosed trailer and popped a power steering line... easy fix.. Ran out to comp hill and ran the hill a few times.... man it is running great... Sat around the camp fire till late and off to bed.. Sat we went to eat at Al's... and OMG the honestly do have the best food... Drove back to camp and took the scenic route. on a little hill and did a small jump and knock knock ... lost a retainer clip on the cv... so I thought. Pulled it apart .. clips still intact....Hmmm... looked at my ages and a 1" piece of cage was gone :ninja: .. .well lol better than being stuck in the dunes.. Pulled it apart and re assembled.. 1hr max, so it wasnt that bad and I was clean :angry2: :blury:

Drove all over on sat.. ran the hill some more and all I have to say is that CBM build a great motor....

Real dusty sat afternoon but the weather was great also.... warm but very nice..

Went to comp hill after the kids had there candy and ran the hill some more.. picked up my friend and after the 3rd pass we tried for 1 more... there was some nice rollers at the top of comp and hit the last one doing about 80 mph (what a blast it was) and Lost power to the wheels... thought maybe some linkage fell of or something.. but was still able to shift into other gears but no worky worky....

Coasted down the hill and went as far as I could coast without running those crazy ppl over... another blown cv :dope::laughoff::coocoo::dayum: lol this time I lost the whole cage and all my Balls lol..

limped back to camp and stuck with the rzr.. Incredible weekend for sure..

I will add more tomorrow..

also as I was coming out of the entrance to comp... headed to camp (on my quad) some kid decided it was very important to cut across and not look or slow down... I caught his rear tire with my front tire and I bent both tie rods on my raptor.. kid was ok and I am fine .. thanks for asking :porn:

I had so much fun this weekend that when the car broke I wasnt even upset... just great time with my family (lovely wife and kids) Mom (1st time out) , bro inlaw and sis... friend James and Kelly and Chris and Rachael..

cant wait till next time

1st weekend trip out with the RZR and the rig. We arrived around 10:30 on Friday night. Had a blast, riding all day Saturday in the RZR. Dropping into comp is much easier in the RZR than the Rhino. :angry2:

It was fun seeing some DDR peeps after the meet & greet at the north pole. Camping with friends & family was great! :blury: Got to see other friends too!

We didn't get very many trick or treaters - now we have a bunch of candy we don't need to eat! I guess we should have given some to Pete! :D

My little devil and angel...

Had an awesome weekend. All of our kids went trick or treating with the McFlurry and i followed in my new Teryx...yes that was me....new to the group. 2 bikes broke but we had extras so all the kids got to ride. No major breakdowns. I can't wait until Thanksgiving weekend.

I am hoping we can camp with a group from DDR next trip. I think it would be a blast. New people and more fun. :banghead:

I wondered who was following us around. Kept asking who it was and no one knew! You should have come over and introduced yourself! :banghead:
