Thanksgiving Weekend 2017 at Dumont Dunes

With dune season 17/18 underway at Dumont, Thanksgiving Weekend is almost here. Many duners make it one of their longest weekends of the season and prepare their feasts out at the dunes with family and friends.

Thanksgiving weekend is Nov 23-26, 2017. Be sure you have a season pass or weekly pass with holidays if you plan to be there anytime from Nov 21 thru Nov 27, 2017.

Dune Masters and Sand Pipers

The Dune Masters and Sandpipers Club will be hosting their 49th Annual hill climbs and drags over Thanksgiviong weekend. The club was founded back in 1968 and they have returned to Dumont every year since then with their V8 powered buggies, also known as the "waterpumpers". They make up a big part of the history of Dumont Dunes so be sure to check them out. They will be set up on the steep, left side of Comp Hill for the hill climbs on Friday and then on Saturday the drags will take place along the back stretch of sand highway, where you would drive out to the north pole.

Schedule

Friday, November 24th, 10am Hill Climbs at Comp Hill 

Saturday the 25th, 10am Drags on the back stretch

Sorry, Club members only in competition but spectators are welcome at both events.
