im getting the 10 and the max lens mod thanks to you LOL. what mounts are you using on the car? 

Haha you won't regret it. The footage is worth it.

Front mount: just a sticky GoPro mount on the roof

Rear mount: cage mount with the GoPro adapter on it. It's a pretty stout roll bar mount made by Eyeofmine but I don't think they're in business anymore. I'll get a picture and post it. They are basically light rigging clamps (like this) with a small L bracket and GoPro tripod adapter mounted on it. 

Price???

What model GO Pros are you using?

A GoPro 9 and a 10 (basically the same camera). I'm using a GoPro Max lens mod on each camera. That gives it more stabilization plus full horizon lock. It works awesome for dune videos to really show the angle of the dunes and the car especially when sidehilling. 

Part 1 video is up!

I'm working on video from the weekend so stay tuned on my YouTube. I'll post it here too though.

We pulled in Thursday night and there was nobody out there. The temps were a little chilly but the fire leaf blower got the fire going nice and hot because all our firewood was wet. 

Friday was the duning day. Lou has been chasing a brake issue and lost his brakes on a dune run. That was fun! He almost ran into me but luckily found somewhere to go rather than my car. lol

He peeled off and went back to camp to get it fixed while we hung out on the dune overlooking the camp area. I think we counted about 20-30 camps. Very empty for MLK weekend. I think the weather scared everyone away. 

We played around on the ATCs for a bit.

Later in the day we went out for a sunset ride and stopped in the middle of the dunes. 

Saturday was a total bust. If we were motivated enough in the morning we could have squeezed one in but we didn't make it out. We put the covers on the cars and prepped for the rain which came about noon. Chad's car looked like a limp Oscar Meyer weiner car. LOL

The rain came and we didn't leave camp all day. It was a nice, lazy day inside Chad's motorhome watching movies. 

On Sunday it was pretty nice. Still overcast as hell and gloomy-looking but decent temps and no W. The sand was soaking wet. We went for an easy, don't break the trans, dune run. 

Later in the day we finally rolled out. The Amargosa river was flowing really well. I haven't seen that much water out there ina while. The crossing was still very passable though.

Overall it was a nice, chill weekend. I know MLK weekend isn't very busy but it was empty this year. I wasn't mad about that. Great trip. Nothing broke and I'm stoked to get back out asap.

I don't believe so. They stopped doing them a couple of years ago due to lack of interest and participation. 

Anyone heading out for MLK? Looks like the weather may hold out with the only chance of rain being Saturday night (50%). Highs around 60 and lows in the 40s. Sounds like duning weather to me. 

That wet sand can be tricky. Glad nobody in your group got hurt. Thanks for sharing!

Ok so here it is! I wrapped up the video from Buggy Roundup 10. Grab a beer and enjoy it on your big TV for best results. haha 

Some more photos from the weekend. Video is almost done. 

Thank you Tim for capturing all these awesome photos! Such an awesome trip. Really great seeing everyone like you said. 

Some grabs from the drone on Saturday at Comp. That was so much fun watching everyone play and race on the hill. It was like the old days when Comp was fun!

It's kind of a matter of personal preference. I put in the cooler white like 5500K and it felt like a operating room in there. lol It was weird. So I put in the warm white (3500K) and they look more normal and they're still plenty bright. You could always go cooler white in the kitchen and bathroom and warm in the bedroom and under cabinets. 

Thanks to each and every one of you who came out to keep the tradition of Buggy Roundup alive. The final count was 75 sandcars! Best trip of the season. You guys are awesome. 

More photos and video to come. 

Please post up any photos or favorite highlights. 

Stoked to see everyone. Just a few more days! Don't forget to bring a little something to add to sandcars and coffee on Saturday morning if you guys don't mind. Don't go nuts! We don't need an extra 100 donuts. LOL 

And we have some killer raffle prizes to give away this year!

Hell yeah. Gettin close. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Nice! That red car seems like it's never touching the ground.  Thanks for sharing. 

Awesome. You got this Cody

Thanks guys. I'm pretty stoked for buggy roundup as well!

Great pics! Thanks for sharing
