Ahh you can't always go by that weather report. It can be raining in Shoshone, then beautiful at Dumont. Let's all just keep our fingers crossed. :mc_smiley:

:DDR_rocks!: Yep kinda like a "Drive In" but yeah, a "dune in." Just dune right in and kick back in your dune ride or bring a chair. :mc_smiley:

oops, yeah 12-31-05 DERRRR :mc_smiley: I'll change that. :DDR_rocks!:

NO Definitely not needed. It does boost the HP a bunch, but as for duning I can't see how it would help too much. In my opinion, turbo's on these things are just for the hill. I think they hurt the reliabiliy of the engine and trans. My car is PLENTY fast up the hill and def. through the dunes. You'd be amazed the power the Busa makes stock. It's much more torquey than I expected. If you like hill shooting, get the turbo. If you like duning and occasional hill shooting don't waste your $$. BTW, I have beat quite a few full size LS1, LS6, etc cars over at the hill even w/o a turbo. Any manufacturer can usually custom make your car to fit your needs. Josey from Sick Sand Travel just built a car for a guy that was 6" wider, taller, and maybe even a bit longer too. These cars are pretty roomy considering their size though. Sanddunesaddict (Bert) is almost your size and he drives my car with no problem. If you want to stop by my camp this weekend, you can check my car out and sit in it to get a feel for how big they are.

Sat night (12-31-05) we'll have some good movies playing on our 9x12' outdoor movie screen. Everyone is welcome to come and watch if they want. You can't really miss our camp. We'll have a light inside the big gay balloon so it should show up pretty good at night. We usually start the movies about 8-9 o clock or so. There will be some Travis Pastrana Nitro Circus movies (1-3), maybe some From Dust to Glory, Sand Addiction The Movie, other various riding & offroad videos, and of course let's not forget: Fear & Loathing in LasVegas. :smiley: We save that one for late at night though. :DDR_rocks!: :mc_smiley: Maybe we'll see some of you there. ? -Pete

You should love it- big dunes and nice smooth transitions in some parts. Feel free to stop by our camp and say hi, I can give you a "tour" of Dumont. (click here to see where I camp) Don't miss the DDR ride either.

Nice setup! That's what I need.

Welcome to DDR! Check out the thread for the DDR ride. --->click here

Bombrider, Josey from SickSandTravel owned and put together my car before he built his own a few years back. SickSandTravel builds very nice cars and fabricates some nice stuff too. They are the only mini-rail builder that I know of other than maybe Sin City Sandrails that are local (Vegas). BTW, "Short" is Larry's last name that builds ShortSandCars. Those cars are my favorite, but I would not rule out other builders. I love my car. It handles awesome and takes jumps and whatever you can throw at it with much ease.

Jim Beam is my favorite. I also like Jack Daniels & Crown, but just about any whiskey will do for me. Although I don't sip it, I do love it chilled. That is the only way to drink it, other than fast!

Nah, too transparent. Steve found a 9x12 ft tarp today that should work good though. Can't wait fo rthe late-night movies/ festivities! :headbang: :headbang:

Tony, I don't think he's serious. He isn't gettin a new bike!

Welcome to DDR. Come meet up with the rest of us on the DDR ride. We can even go for other rides too. I'm sure the tres hermanos (Don29Palms, Joeduner, & originalpimp), ynot, and some other buggy guys will be going on some additional buggy runs. You are more than welcome to join in. Just look for the big giant multi-colored balloon at our camp and stop by.

Cool, its on then. I like to think I can dune pretty fast in my car. I was right on PaulyPaul's a$$ when he was on his 2 wheeler pushing it FAST! It got a little crazy at some points. I like those kinds of super crazy fast rides, but I leave those rides to weekends where there is nobody out there. Can't wait to go dune with you, ynot, and the rest of the gang. See ya out there.

ynot, its all good. Everybody ready, group hug!

Well RhinoKing bit the bullet and got it. He just rolled up in front of my house w/ his new 38 ft GearBox. I must say- NICE! If I could afford one, I'd buy one in a second. Congrats on the purchase, Kenny. I'm sure you'll love it. I took some pics of it, here they are...

Let me just set the record straight. There is profanity to some point allowed here on DDR. Most of us are all adults and most of us can handle it, but we do need to keep it to a minimum do to the fact that some kids come on DDR and are members too. I know they probably use profanity already, but let's not encourage it. So let's just keep it limited. I am not saying this because anybody here has broken the "rules", but just wanted to let everyone know what DDR is about as far as the profanity and such. Oh and yeah, Chuck, some of the smilies are a little profane, but that is as far as I expect that kind of stuff to go. Don't forget, they are just smilies.

Come on you pansies!!! j/k Ok then, maybe not a dangerously fast buggy run, but how about a "fast paced" buggy run.

I had a few pics of some nasty truck duning wrecks I thought I'd share. Anyone else have some pics? note the 30 day temp tags still on this truck (there were only about 300 miles on it when this happened Good part is everyone was ok and the Samurai from the other thread...

Yeah, I am pretty stoked. I have huge craving to get out and drive my car again. Who's ready for a FAST buggy run?

I know, Don. I was just kidding. Thought I would just get off topic a little . I agree, the best beer is COLD beer, unless it's that dark crap that tastes like it has been burned in a frying pan.

Miller sucks I drink Bud Select. I agree though, Don. Let's put this forum drama behind us and go duning.

I still love this pic even though the quality sucks...
