A quick note for those that will have more than ONE bike for the event. You only need to register each rider, not each bike. For example: if you plan to bring 3 bikes and race them all in different classes, you do NOT need to register 3 times. Just make a separate number plate for each bike with a different # and class designation on them. However, if you have another guy racing your bike, he or she needs to be registered with a wristband on at all times.

Alright everybody. Here it is! Who all is going? Let's get everyone signed up asap. We don't have much time. http://www.dumontduneriders.com/70cc-regatta-3rd-annual RSVP, pre-register and pre-order your shirts - click here It will help tremendously if all participants pre-register and everyone pre-purchase their lunch or meal tickets in advance through the DDR store. We will have some extra t-shirts at the event, but don't count on it if you want definitely want one. Please go on and pre-order one asap. http://shop.dumontdu...e=index&cPath=6 Spectator: free lunch: $6/ sandwich or $25 for a VIP mega meal package (pre-order only) participant: $15 (or $20 day of event) event t-shirt: $15 Registration/ Sign In: Around 9:30 AM we will have a registration tent set up in camp. This is where all participants will sign in and pickup a Regatta wristband to race. Pre-ordered T-shirts will be available to pick up at a separate booth near registration. Raffle tickets will also be available for sale at the t-shirt booth. Lunch: Smokin Al's BBQ will be serving up his awesome pulled pork and tri tip sandwiches for lunch. Please pre-order a lunch ticket or VIP mega meal. This helps Al with an idea of how much food to bring.

Rules: 1) Don't be a jerk. The goal is to have a great time at this event so don't show up with an attitude or take the races too serious. 2) Every participant MUST be registered, have a 70 Regatta wristband on at all times, and a number on their paper number plate (provided at sign in). 2) All participants must wear a helmet and some sort of ankle protection. SAFETY FIRST! 3) You do NOT need a flag on your ATC in camp or on the track. All races or regatta events are inside camp this year due to stricter regulations. 4) There will be absolutely NO drinking and riding tolerated during the event. 5) Anything that is against the rules at Dumont is not allowed in camp. 6) It is the participants responsibility to be on time for whatever events/ races that are going on. Please pay attention. Ya snooze ya lose! 7) No intentional bumping or crashing will be tolerated. Those who are caught doing this will be disqaulified. 8) Please note: AFTER the event is over (ie: nighttime), there will be some movies and music provided by the Custom Shop on the big screen projector like last year. The music can get a little loud and the movies might include more than "PG" material. If this is not your style, please do not plan on camping in the same circle or have your kids put to bed if you do not want them exposed to it. Classes There is also the Junior class which is any bike as long as the rider is under 16 years old. Event area/ Camp: 1) Everyone who is coming out to participate, watch, hang out, whatever...is invited to pull right up and park/ camp with the whole group. That is part of the idea behind the 70 Regatta. It is a bunch of ATC 70 enthusiasts and DDR.com/ GD.com people getting together for a weekend of good times. 2) We need to make camp pretty big since we have so many people coming in so try and pull up somewhat close to the next guy and keep it tight. If you need help parking or have any questions don't be afraid to ask someone at the 70 Regatta in camp for help. Helpful items to bring: 1) firewood if you have any 2) extra tables and EZUP's for lunch time at Smokin Al's- please bring them over to Smokin Al's as soon as you show up 3) If you plan on getting there early enough to help on Thursday or Friday with the track setup, please bring your shovels, rakes, cones, hay bails, CONES, etc....anything that will help put together a killer track! Raffle donations Please contact skinner!

Congratulations...grandma! Love the slipknot beanie.

Thanks so much guys! We are looking pretty good considering we are still about a month away. This year's regatta might just be the best one yet! I'm gettin stoked!
-
I've watched this probably 10 times now and it never gets old. Too damn funny.

My cat is looking at me really fun right now because I'm laughing my a$$ off. :lol: Aaron, you son of a biatch

aww fak, here we go again -
I just sent him a text telling him to get his a$ on DDR and handle sh*t.

Theyre no longer available thru the store though. Just pm randog and he getchoo taken care of!

Ok now that our permit packet is mailed off to the BLM, it's time to get the ball rolling with some items for the regatta. One of them is the raffle. Last year we had some very generous prizes donated by members and companies and we hope to do the same this year! If you or anyone you know would like to donate any items towards the event please contact SKINNER by pm, http://www.dumontdun...p?showuser=5063 or email him at jj91fvo@yahoo.com and he will make arrangements to either pick them up or have them shipped. Any items that you think these ATC whackjobs or duners in general would like, please donate to a really fun event. All proceeds from the regatta help pay for the event (which last year ended up costing over 2K ). If there is anything left over it goes into the DDR account for website costs and maintenance. Thanks so much. We really appreciate everyone's help in order to make this a super fun event every year.

You should only need longer cables if you go with the CRF/XR50 bars. I don't think Randog's bar risers require longer throttle and brake cables.
-
That's bullshit. You aren't selling you're quad and you aren't going anywhere, b*tch!
-
I think it's safe to say Polaris won't ever come out with a RZR that is better than my "side by side".

Winner is posted on the homepage.

Shanerman, you are quite the hero. Good for you and your friends' quick thinking and medical know how in the desperate time of need. I never like hearing about tragic accidents like this out at Dumont. It hits close to home even though I didn't know those involved. I always look at other duners as friends. Carlos, I hope for a speedy recovery for your sister. That is very sad about her boyfriend, Jesse. My condolences. If there is anything the community can do to help the family please let us know.

Funny sh*t.

Pre New Years Update @ Dumont & trip reports
dunefreak replied to BigBoreVegas's topic in Dumont Happenings
These are the only pics I snapped Fri night (New Years Eve) -
fixed That's a crappy situation you are in. Does he refuse to do the work or is he avoiding you? Sorry to say but you'll probably have to get someone else to get it running right. Dude sounds pretty shady if he doesn't want to make it right. You'd think he would. Word of mouth is everything these days when it comes to businesses....especially this type of work!
-
Yeah according to Donkey he gets a million dollars!!!! Wow Donnie. Bert didn't say anything about the mil. LOL wow jackass. I guess that's why we call him donkey.
-
Yep I heard similar stories like Doghouse did. Although I didnt know it was 2 different accidents. I just thought the story changed from person to person and one said it was a rzr and one said it was a rail. Why would anyone drive without their harnesses on? Sad that it could have been prevented. I buckle up even just to drive over to vendor row.

Pre New Years Update @ Dumont & trip reports
dunefreak replied to BigBoreVegas's topic in Dumont Happenings
I'm still sorting through pics and doing some editing. I should have some up maybe tonight, Aaron. This was sort of a last minute trip for us. We were going to be in Glamis with the rest of our crew, but after being denied Friday off we figured it wasn't worth the drive for 1 solid day at G. So off to Dumont we went and met up with our friends out there. It ended up being a great trip. New Years Eve was fun as all hell. Early in the night we hit up comp with a big pile of firewood. All of camp joined us and we partied for a bit before the New Years festivities. Then back at camp we enjoyed multiple bottles of Champagne, some kickass homemade chili dip, and plenty of cocktails all night. The camp shananigans and mortar bandits kept most everyone with a sense of humor laughing their a$$es off. I wish I could have been their when John couldn't get away from the fire fast enough and took cover under a trash can. :lol: I would have paid money to see that!!! LMAO On Saturday me and Anna, AL T, campidiot Brian, and Donnie went on a few great buggy runs. Those dunes were tore up pretty bad, but it was still really fun. You had to be really careful which razors you chose to crest. The recent rain had made some huge holes and nasty formations at the tops. The lines weren't too bad though out there. There were plenty of ruts, but the sand slide factor was still there. You just had to be careful because it could hook at any second. All in all we still managed some fast paced dune runs and had a hoot. It's too bad the rest of the Randizzle, LouB, Stu n krusty crew weren't there. Whoa, that's hard to say but kinda flows. Weather wasn't too bad. Mostly in the 40's all weekend long with no wind. Those runs were super cold though when we were haulin a$$. My hands were freezing even with gloves on! Nobody broke anything although Donnie started having trans/ clutch issues again and I think I have a blow off valve issue now after all the times I backfired bouncing off the limiter on comp hill. Oh well. I'll figure it out. All in all it was another kickass dune trip with some awesome friends. Can't wait for the next. I hope to make it out MLK weekend but we'll see. -
Well this would have been the 160, but I heard about the fatality last night just before midnight with the RZR. Sad.

So awesome. Congrats again you guys!!!
