cruddymutt Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Ive been telling my neighbor about Dumont for years and he finally dedided he was going to go for the first time to Banshee Wars 4 with us. He's been working on his old school corvair powered rail for a while and today was the day for a shakedown run in the very small dunes by our houses. . He hit a jump and bent his spindle, tierod, and blew the tire off the bead. We took the front tire off and 3 wheeled the beast home. About a mile from our houses, the rear paddle on the same side grenaded. You can see in the pic that the tire is flat, what you cant see is that the sidewall shredded. Maybe next time Joe. I dont think hes going the BW4 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeDuner Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) I remember that, it was a 3 hour journey to get back to camp. That was the first time we all camped together. Edited September 26, 2006 by JoeDuner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
