- Dumont Drags Trend Just Might Stick
  
  Over the last two decades, there has been talk of getting some daily drags going at Dumont similar to what Glamis does. For those of you that aren't familiar with the Glamis drags, every day (usually Friday or Saturday late afternoon or just before sunset) hundreds of duners line up to mostly watch, but also participate in a rolling start style drag race near Gecko Road. It's completely informal but the turnout hasn't skipped a beat for decades. There's no flyer. There's no schedule. There's no post on the internet. It's just what happens.

  So as of New Years weekend, Dumont has attempted to revive a tradition that has never quite stuck. It's small, but it's a start... or another beginning we might say. Duners who have an itch to line up and give it their all are starting to line up on the back stretch of the sand highway between Comp and the North Pole. So far it's a small turnout, but it has happened more than once and it's been successful. The fastest sandcars, side x sides, bikes, or whatever it is, might be back there ready to claim some bragging rights. The next time you are at Dumont, especially on a holiday weekend, cruise back there to see if it's going on. Line up and hang out. That's what most people do at Dumont lately right? It's has started around 3PM and goes until sun down. Just don't forget to play it safe and be aware of those around you in the dunes. This is a new thing to most duners at Dumont so keep that in mind when reaching fast speeds in an area where there's usually nothing happening. Have fun and be safe.

  It's one of the big ones, Presidents Weekend. Feb 12-15, 2021.
  
  I heard from Shawn Thompson and a couple others in the LV Jeep Club and it seems the Jeep drags and hill climbs are not going to continue at this time. If anything changes, I will update.

  Old School Buggy Roundup
  13 March 2021

  March 13th weekend a handful of old school buggy guys are getting together near bathroom 8. There has been discussion on our Facebook group about it.
  
  This is not DDR's event, but I figured I'd put the date up so people know about it and can join in. It's open to whoever has an old school buggy.

Overall conditions: epic!
Overall conditions: epic!

First post and First trip to Dumont... Knocking it all out at once.

I want to give a huge shout out to everyone who has posted on this forum. I felt like I've been camping out there my whole life with the info I've been able to get from this forum.

With Ocotillo being closed I needed a new desert home. Never been much of a duner but I am a complete convert now. After moving to Vegas from SoCal several years ago I'm kicking myself for continually making the haul down south when I had this slice of heaven only 2 hours away.

Took the Wife and son out from Wed the 16th to the 20th. Few people out camping. Weather was absolutely beautiful. It being my first trip to Dumont I don't have much to compare to but coming from Johnson Valley and Ocotillo camping it was heaven. Woke up Thursday to some nice clouds which opened up to beautiful skies. A little breezy on Thursday but that was the only day worth noting the wind.

Sand was smooth as glass and provided for an amazing first experience. Can't wait to get back out in a couple of weeks.

I look forward to many many many more trips in the near future.

Sorry no riding pics though... I couldn't think about anything besides how much fun I was having.
