I was gonna plan on our own DDR Dumont cleanup trip sometime maybe in January, but then I broke mt damn arms and I don't know when I will be 100%. I still might try an organize & partially fund our own cleanup trip though. I'll keep everybody posted. :headbang:

NO-TOIL? Never heard of it. Is it a pre-filter or something? :headbang:

Oh yeah forgot. Jim told me today that she (Dorie) broke her arm near her elbow and her tailbone too! :headbang: Sucks bad for her. I hope she gets better soon, but unfortunatley she is gonna be out for a while I think. The worst part about it was she just started a new job and yep, NO INSURANCE! That ride from Dumont to the hospital is gonna be a pretty penny. I thought I had it bad w/ 2 broken wrists.

Sweet video Aaron, it seems like whoever had the left lane got the win. The bottom of the hill looks a bit curved, would that have something to do w/ it? Maybe just an optical illusion. Either way, your s*it's FAST. Sucks about that clutch. I'd fire that mechanic of yours! I heard that guy who put it in didn't know what he was doing. :headbang: j/k

Steve, could you stay on the topic? Otherwise the thread gets all cluster f*cked when you guys go off on another tangent. Thanks

I went w/ a ShortSandCar cause it was for sale in the local classifieds. I fell in love with it and couldn't pass it up for the price. If I didn't buy that car, it would probably still be a Short anyways. I like Tom Pro's cars too, but if I were to buy a car brand new, ShortSandCar. Their reverse box has a limited slip diff in it which allows for cutting brakes :headbang: . Beside, Larry was the original m/c powered rail builder back in the 80's. He knows how to build those things the best if you ask me. Just my .02

I am running a ribbed tire on the front. Don't even waste your time with a knobby. You can get away w/ it, but why? What a difference the ribbed tire makes! :headbang:

Sunday morning as we began to clean up camp, we noticed all this trash left at the camp next to us. I just don't get it. Don't people understand that if everybody left their trash behind like this, the dunes wouldn't be open to ride and camp in? Not to mention what a pig sty Dumont would be. There was everything from beer cans all over, a GLASS wine bottle, a big GLASS tequilla bottle, GLASS beer bottles, a DelTaco burrito and wrapper, trash bags FULL of trash, and all kinds of sh*t. To those who camped there next to us, if you see this.... :headbang: Pick up your sh*t! Remember???? PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT! and NO GLASS CONTAINERS!

Dave, you still workin a checkpoint w/ Vince? Jon said we get 3 truck official passes. I'll be there. :headbang:

here are some of my pics from the weekend the big gay balloon ... :headbang: SandYFZ gettin ready for the YFZ shootout... huge line at the t-shirt stand the dusty times around vendor row on Saturday around noonish Banshee Hill around 2PM a couple longtravel cars along my walk to vendow row...

a couple of pics from when we all got to the north pole...

It was nice meeting all of you who showed up for the ride. :headbang: DDR ride was fun despite that damn wind! Sucks that I got a flat, but we probably couldn't ride much longer w/ that wind gettin crazy. Pauly Paul did a good job cruisin me around the dunes. Not bad for never driving my car before. Hope you all enjoyed meeting up, lets definetly do it again.

TDAY weekend was fun. Despite having 2 broken wrists, I still had fun. :headbang: The wind sucked on Saturday and Sat night though. It got pretty bad. The DDR ride was fun too despite the wind. No one got hurt in our crowd until the last couple hours before we left, a friend in our camp who hasn't ridden much got hurt on our friend's KFX700. She went over the finger dune (razor back) and I guess rolled it a few times. She was in a lot of pain (back or hip) so they took her by ambulance to a hospital in town (Vegas). Hopefully she is ok. Will know more by tomarrow. I'll get some of my dune pics from the weekend up soon.

Sandfiends got a Banshee stolen from the Baker Motel Sat night around midnight. Can you help? ITS AN OLD J_ARM LONESTAR FRAME WITH HOLES DRILLED IN IT AND IS WELDED WHERE THE REAR SHOCK MOUNTS ON

:headbang: whatever

:headbang: :thumbsdown:

razors, sidehilling, stability-------------> :headbang: It handles awesome. I love it. The key word w/ this car is: AGILE!!! Im running a 1300 Hayabusa. It screams. I ran Ryan before he put the turbos on his car and gave him a good run. We never had a good race though cause we never left the same time. I'm sure he'd probably beat me now that it's twin turboed. I went for a ride in TTrex this last weekend. FAST!

:mc_smiley: Yeah no sh*t. Those winds were brutal Sat night. I forgot to close my door on my toyhauler when we when on the DDR ride too. :mc_smiley: Needless to say, that thing was FULL O SAND!! :mc_smiley: Ahh whataver, gotta love it. Sorry can't help you clean your ytoyhauler, I already gotta clean mine w/ 2 broken arms. :headbang:

Not sure yet, HI TURTLE, but prob sometime in December. :mc_smiley: Stay posted to DDR, lets all roll out together.

I was gonna make an attempt to get everyone together definitely before Pres Day weekend, maybe 3rd week in January to meet up and all camp together but make the trip a clean-up trip also to help do our own DDR part to clean up some of the trash at Dumont. :mc_smiley: I'll keep everybody posted when that comes about. I agree on the trip though. Maybe sometime in December. I can't ride (broken arms) but that didn't stop me from going on Thanksgiving. Let's do it.
