dunefreak Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I guess I'll post up some sort of report from my trip now. haha We rolled in Thurs night. As soon as I pulled into camp my trailer sank and I buried my whole setup. Damn it! After unloading the trailer I managed to get it unstuck though. Friday was the best day for duning. It wasn't too beat up and there weren't that many people in the dunes. It was a pretty relaxing day. We didn't do too many runs mostly because we kept waiting for other friends to show up. That's ok though. We got a few good ones in and it was more of a social weekend than anything. Friday night at comp was brutal! It was so dusty we didn't hang out long. We did manage to race a handful of other sandcars though. What a rush. Racing up comp at night is like 3 times the thrill. I am surprised how many people are finally getting back to racing up at night other than sitting at the bottom and drinking themselves into retardation. It feels really stupid when hundreds of people are sitting over at the hill and nobody is racing...and you are one of them. haha Saturday was crazy packed in the dunes. I can't remember if it was Friday or Saturday, but I had a very close call with another buggy. It was nobody's fault, but we came really close to getting tangled up. We were both transitioning a semi fast line/ razor when Steveo (my passenger) pointed out the buggy on the other side. I cranked the wheel, chopped the throttle and scrubbed off enough speed to nearly miss him. I think he might have sh*t his pants a lil bit because he didn't see me until I was about 2 feet away from t-boning him. Close call for sure. Next time I will be a little more cautious with the lines I choose. Other than the close call, our dune runs remained fairly tame due to the conditions. I led a couple runs and I guess I disappointed a couple of guys in our crew but I don't care. Leading a pack of 10+ buggys, a couple quads, and a dirtbike or two from one end of the dunes to the other takes a little concentration in order to keep everyone together and not collide with other groups. Oh well, I had fun! The weather was great all weekend and the company was even better. I had a blast hanging out and socializing with everyone. I even lost my voice by Saturday night from all the laughing and partying. It was really cool to have my buddy, Scott come out too. He was the one that pretty much introduced me to the dunes back in like 1998 or so. His buggy was the first buggy I ever rode in out at Dumont and it was cool to bring him out for a quick spin in my car. I see a LT buggy in his future and many more trips to the dunes. Well that's most of the highlights I can remember. lol I got my one holiday weekend fix in and now I think I'm ready for some quiet, empty-dune weekends for the rest of the season to go tear it up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptNkllm Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Pete that run was ok....It is hard when you have 10+ buggies all with different driving skills and expect a real fast run... Not possible if 1 slow drive is up front.lol.. it was fun still I had a blast all weekend Capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a time and place to open it up and it definitely wasn't then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandawg Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Runs don't have to fast to be fun! Ask me.....I couldn't go fast if I wanted to. I just enjoy getting out in the dunes for a ride. In these times, on a busy weekend, it shows good judgement to go slower and watch for other people that may have less experience, don't see the danger of overdriving or just plain have more money than brains, enabling them to drive way over their heads. What scares the hell out of me are all trucks that are now able to do the dunes and the way they drive. Also the 3000 # cars that are so fast that are such a mismatch in an accident with a quad or smaller rail. I'm wit you Pete, off weekends are for riding and Holidays are for watching all the mayhem, camp fires at night and throwing back a few!!! :blah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said something was wrong. No biggie but would be cool to see a video from the future. For the Trip I took my Truck to the dealer for Oil change and my rear seal in the shaft had been leaking. Figured I would have them warranty it while it is still valid. They ended up changing the knuckle with Spline gears also. This was cracked. They had to order the part and have next day. It took three days. Screwed my weekend up. When I picked up my truck I took my girls with me and pointed out the service tech and told them look he is the guys who screwed you out of trick or treating twice and Most of DUMONT! I thought it was Funny. My first trip out will be Glamis for Turkey Day. I will be in Dumont in December though. See you out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
