Not too well. It works great when you have good 3G signal, but that is very spotty out at D. I thought it only needed GPS to work. I think it's because it needs to access the internet for the satellite images for the map. It is very accurate to your location WHEN you have good signal. Oh well. It's still fun to play with.

Get to work.

I feel so sorry for you guys after all the work you put into the haunted graveyard. That say morning wind had to do quite a number on it.

Ahh what a great weekend. Feels great to get back out there and kick it with all our friends in the sand. We went on quite a few runs this weekend. I left the bike at home and only brought the car. Glad I did too because it felt great to get a full weekend behind the wheel. We went on a handful of great runs with our group as big as 10+ cars and a few quads at times. It was pretty crowded sometimes in the dunes which made for some sketchy moments. There were a few issues with some sandcars throughout the weekend, but the worst ones luckily happened towards the end of the weekend. It seems this was everyone's first trip of the season to work out some bugs. We missed the meet & greet because we were out at Talladega getting Lou's car retrieved after a broken stub axle. Then vegas style buried his truck out there! LOL I yanked him out though and showered everyone in the meantime. That weather was GREAT this weekend! Temps in the high 70's/ low 80's and perfect at night. That wind was crazy early Sat AM, but luckily it stopped. Just enough to somewhat smooth things out. Seemed like attendance was slightly less than last year, but still a very good amount of people. Comp hill was still packed as usual. The rows went clear to the back. I loved that short bus ice cream truck that was selling glow sticks, snacks, and misc stuff at the hill. What a bitchen idea. As usual we brought way too much food, but it sure was fun getting rid of it all. We fed half of camp with all the pollo asada Chad brought. We had quite a few trick or treaters come by Sat night. We had fun handing out candy and partying at the trailer. I took some cool pics of all the kids' costumes too. I'll get them up soon. I feel so sorry for Joe Duner. 2 young girls collided him and in his RZR and both RZR's got destroyed. Luckily he didn't get too banged up and hopefully the girls are ok. They got airlifted out I heard but should be ok. That was the only big bummer of the weekend. Saturday AM....seeing Bert pull up in his new SCU in camp gave me goosebumps. I am so happy for him and his family to have that car all together and at the dunes. He has put so much time into getting it together and it looks so sick! Congrats again man. All in all...great first trip of the season! We'll be back in 2 more weeks for the poker run. I love Halloween out there, but am looking forward to a less crowded Dumont and off weekend.

He already got 1 hooked up. He came by my place last night and showed me.

I know yours isn't. I was referring to Scadigan's ktm.

Way cool, K. Congrats. You're gonna have fun with it.

Time to test this out at D and see how it works out there!

VOTE!

Another update.... TJ is up and walking with assistance! This is just awesome! http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1650904/20101026/story.jhtml

Is your bike street legalized?

Nope, the towing capacity of my dirtbike sucks!

Rick I wasn't saying you didn't know the difference. It's just sometimes those things can be overlooked. I've done it myself. Glad you got it handled. The weekend is almost here!

Weekly passes, yes. Season passes, no. Sold from the machine- exact cash or CC.

Make sure the manual said "ft lbs" and not "in lbs". That does seem like way too much torque for a spindle nut. Was it very tight coming off?

Brian had SUCH a hard time trusting Anna with a sharpie!

I am loving this weather. This weekend is gonna rock!

Thanks guys. We try our best to do it up every year. Halloween is our favorite. Every year at T's party, this crowd's costumes are badass! It was a kick a$$ time. Trav and Tori always throw the best parties. Sam, I think this was the first time in like 13-15 years I shaved it all off. It's way weird but a nice change for now. The makeup really aged me and made me look old as hell. This chick who was their does makeup for a living and asked who did mine because it looked really good. I said, "me, thanks!" haha I'll have to post up some before, during and after pics of the makeup transition.

Jill, I read the topic title too fast and wondered why you had something against white doctors!

Jeezuz!

Here are a handful of pics from Saturday night's Halloween party. Good times!!! Anna a playboy bunny and I went as Hugh Hefner this year.

Mine is an 85 and I just eyeballed mine to get them in the factory spot. Close enough.

You gotta admit, it's been going pretty damn smooth so far. You have to expect something to slow the progress down. It's inevitable. Keep on truckin, Bert. I know you'll get it all handled. Let me know if you need any help. I know you guys have to be getting close to burned out soon.

I'm not even gonna Google it because it will just make me sick to see un-ridable dunes. It's like seeing Kelso dunes.

The factory 70atc wheels unbolt. Then you'll have to pry the bead off using a tire spoon. Kind of a pain because they are usually very old, but doable by hand. Going back together is a piece of cake. Just be sure to use new wheel orings and glue them in place.
