I'm biting my tongue on this one, there are no signs, warnings etc that need to be posted and no regulations that need to be implemented. Truly sad that someone passed so I will leave it at that.... My 2 cents....
To each their own. I think it is a good thing. I see the guys training for this event and they were pumped to run it. They came in 5th for the men's division and 8th for the ladies. Their hard work paid off big time. So one day and some time of inconvenience is allowable in my book. Sure there can be some better info put out as far as how to park and respect others as they try to enjoy the same area.
I am sure there are things here that others like and people here could care less about. That argument can do on for pages and pages. Bottom line is the event is planned out long in advance and in going to Dumont that weekend you took the chance of such an inconvenience.
More Signs?
Existing signage. 25 mi. an hour on entrance road, no fireworks, no pallets or nails,
no glass bottles, this area off limits etc. etc. How are they working?
Maybe a Risk Factor sign at the entrance with a max rating will at least put the thought of those reading that the Dunes are not to be taken lightly. Just a thought and a simple Sign with Visible impact. I am sure you do not want too scare people away but at least let them know what they are playing in.
"if you have a stock cage do yourself and your family and friends and get an
aftermarket cage. These stock cages are garbage"

I just don't think the engineers for the stock cages are building them for anything but a "Roll Over".
I'm also not sure even an aftermarket cage would have saved the man that was killed.
Are aftermarket cages better? I'm sure they are but there are so many other variables.
What would happen if you dropped 1000 plus pounds from 2 stories high on the top of
any cage? Plus the forward speed and angle of impact etc. etc.
Just my opinion and I know all about "everybody has one" when talking about opinions.
I too am sorry it happened!
