  1. First off i would like send my prayers to all the victims in this accident it was a terrible crash. It all happened around 1115 Thursday night. Me and my family were sleeping in our toy hauler when we heard a small rail come into our camp and start yelling for help that there was a crash in the dunes and that he couldn't find the blm station. So i got in our rzr and led the guy over to the blm station to find that there wasn't one person working that night but they were collecting money that day for passes. I knocked and went inside every trailer at the blm camp to find no one. So i got on my phone and called 911 and told them what the guy saw and that we needed immediate help. About 40 minutes went buy and the paramedics and fire department showed up. I knew that they werent going to be able to get back to the crash since the blm didn't have people working to operate the sand rail So i ran back to camp and jumped in our rail and went and got 2 paramedics and all there gear and took them to the crash site. Right away they attended both hurt victims. The one lady that got ejected was not ran over by another rail, but was severely injured. We helped the paramedics load her on the back board and then across the back seat of our rail. I then took the two paramedics and lady in my rail back to the station. She was airlifted out at about 1. I then took the fire fighters, and two officers back to the site to grab the other girl that was hurt. We loaded her up on the back board and then into the rail again. Then took her back to the station where the ambulance was. She only had minor injuries and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. After they took off with the other lady, i transported the fire fighters back to the site to help. The other victim was pronounced dead. I feel bad for the family and hope they recover from there loss. It was a bad way to start the trip but after seeing this accident i hope that everyone on here makes sure that every person riding in your rail wears a seat belt. Whether it is a quick putt to vendor row or to comp. Seat belts in this crash would have saved every life. It was a horrible thing to see but glad i was there to help because i don't know how the paramedics would have gotten everyone out of there. And once again my thoughts and prayers go out to the family's involved in this.

  2. LIfe is to short to argue Rap. All I know is that DMV sent me to a dealer to have the vin inspsection on the Rhino and the rail and all my forms went to the OHV Commission and all mail had a return address for the OHV Commission that sent me the vin sticker and the registration sticker. Now I haven't done the title thing yet and it may well be DMV. I don't know yet!

  3. seems a little over kill on tickets for stickers for sure. yes, people need to have stickers, but as the saying goes "Safety FIRST"... cops need to control the idiots first, around comp, and around camp.

  4. Rangers where doing the same at dumont kicking the tires on everyone's cars searching for registration and stickers. One in particular that drives a white RZR S was being extra annoying at comp hill. They should be glad that they are being paid to cruise the dunes that we have to spend our hard earned money to enjoy. Also the sergent flipped one of our 4x4 quads that our tax dollars bought chasing that white ranger buggy through the dunes that they have no reason patroling at the speeds they do. If i flip my stuff and get injured then i have to rely on AFLAC while they would get paid for life. How can you have a stick up your butt when you have one of the best jobs. If anything they should be writing tickets to the mother fing people driving 100 mph around our camps so that our kids cant even ride outside of the trailers. Safety of my kid is more important then someones expired tags.

  5. The dunes were cleaned up. Mother Nature took care of that Monday night. LOTS of virgin sand left and when we left Wednesday probably less than 50 coaches out there!

  8. "t3 and t4 are only the exhuast housing bolt pattern. There are 1000's of each turbo." T04B , T04E This information is off the Turbonetics web site The T3/T4 Hybrid turbochargers consist of a T3 turbine section, (F1-49, F1-54, F1-57, F1-62) and a T4 compressor section (T04B trim, T04E trim & 60-Series). This combination offers the low inertia and fast boost response of the lightweight T3 turbine wheel and the high-airflow characteristics of the T4 compressor family. Did I mis-understand what you were saying about it not being an available Turbocharger.
