How about just using an airless like a Wagner Power Painter. I've painted various items with mine with great success.

I might try that if the normal paint opportunities get thin. I am thinking that there has to be an industrial paint shop in LAS that can do this.

Way too much to rattle can!

I'd like a shop to blast the trailer and paint it right.

Here are a few pictures. I have one more evening of cleaning up weld slag and stuff and it's ready for the paint shop.

Also, on second thought, I'd like it painted dark gray or black. A light coat on the wood is fine. It's already crap and will be replaced in a year or two.

What part do you need painted? The wood deck? Or the whole trailer?

Thanks for the quick reply!

The wood deck is not that important. The main part of the trailer is silver (one coat Carson version). The second deck is bare mild steel (no rust). I want to paint both light gray which should be close to the original silver color.

I will post an image tonight.

I have the second deck on my Carson RV Special and now need the entire trailer painted. Can you all make recommendations for a good painter in the Las Vegas Valley?

Thanks

ORC will provide unofficial scoring for all classes in near realtime!

We have dusted off our old tried and true scoring software and have assembled a new team of crusty scorers. ORC will be scoring (unofficialy) every vehicle that finishes up to midnight, Saturday night and maybe longer. We will clock each vehicle off the start and then across the finish line with as many results posts to the web as we can muster on Saturday.

The URL to these results will be found via a link at http://race.off-road.com/2006+SCORE+baja+500

We'll be setup with the RV's just outside the gates again this year. Last year we smoke'd up a case of baby back ribs and had a great time before and after the race events, both days.

The race this year is on July 28th and 29th. If you are planning to attend the race,, stop and by and grab a few bones and brews.

More details to follow.

we will be there. good possibility we may be working that race. we worked the laughlin race and the guys we worked with also do the terribles cup. i dont know if you know bill wik with score but he sets us up. we also work the primm 300 everyyear. we used to have a great checkpoint at the rairoad tressel were they came out and through one side and came back on the other. that new deal with the land being sold for the supposed airport put the kiebosh on that. we need to hook up this time. you have the food thing down. off topic but i need a bus trans for my champ car. if you know where i can score one let me know please.

Yep, I know Bill Wik. Good for you helping out. Do you go to the baja races? The 500 is coming up fast!! Almost 400 entries!!!! FORTY Trophy Trucks!

never too hot to watch racing. i was out there in the middle of july for the score terrible 250's before they decided it was too hot to run that race. had to have been at least 120 out but as long as i have my easy up and plenty of beer and water im there.

That was the hottest I have ever seen it at a race. Good action though especially along the gas pipeline.

We'll be tailgating over night at the Terrible's Cup race again this year. Last year we smoked up 2 dozen full racks of Baby back ribs.

some guys there told us they were getting nothing but air crossing valley view on the way back in. gonna be sure to check that out next year.

This is a good spot for the Vegas to Reno race too. It's usually too hot then though.

What is the preferred route to get there from Las Vegas for big Moho's? I keep hearing about some damn tunnel. My GPS software says to go east on Utah state highway 59 through Hurricane and then down to Colorado City, AZ where all the polygamists live then up to the dunes via highway 237.

We have this scheduled but the Baja 500 is the week after and I am being called to duty down there. The following weekend after the 500 is our Centennial Hills Neighborhood Chili Cookoff.

It's gonna be tight to run three weekends back to back.

My small photo gallery is online now.

man, i wish we would have. went back and got caught up in our own thing, some more people showed up at our camp. will make it a point to next time. we had a blast and are going to make that trip alot more often now. will make some plans next time and try out your camp spot there behind the dunes.

All good! We had a late one Friday night. I was clawing around for cheap energy Saturday.

The only downside of the west side is washboard aspect of the road.

Our next trip is likely up to Sand Hollow.

A great weekend! Super racing action!

Here is one of my photos. More to come.

SuperDave stopped by with friends. You should have come back later when the lunch buffet was out.

See attached map for the race course. Amargosa is near Race Mile 165.

It looks like perfect weather on Friday and Saturday after a little rain (maybe) on Thursday. See http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/forecasts/graphica...age=2&element=T

We are heading out at 1600hrs on friday. We aim to park by the kiddie track on the west side. We have friends from Hemet coming up Friday as well and folks from the office on Saturday. This will be the first time my 4 year old sees a desert race.

Look for this rig with a Hawaiian flag flying abut 30' up. Stop by and say hello.

I will also add that is your duty to educate the idiots away from supporting the eco-guilt corporations. Get in debate with these narrow minded arse-hats at every opportunity. You will find that the overwhleming majority have weak convictions on this matter and will listen and often change their minds.

State facts, numbers, percentages, etc. Don't BS. Don't froth at the mouth. Logic, honestly and morallity are on our side.

Go get 'em!

I just PayPal'd as a Business Member. I would have done more. The site should promote contributions via payPal and leave the amount open.

Now to the basics here..

I spent three years as a BLM RAC member representing permitted recreation (Desert Racing). Our job was to hammer out and present policy that worked for all, too include real conservationists, ranchers, miners, off-roaders, the wild horse people etc. I am proud of my time with the BLM and I'll be going back for another stint when I can clear personal time. Arse-hats like the Sierra Club and the CBD were only permitted in during public comment periods to make continuous, utter fools of themselves.

I will tell you that every single thing you do to fight for your liberties and rights matters. You can sit on your butt and let someone else do it or get involved some how some way. If you choose the former, then good riddance! Go take up pottery or some other activity akin to your laziness.

FODD, I advice you to band with ORBA, ASA and EcoLogic Partners ASAP.

As for a protest ride! COUNT ME IN 100%!

My old and dear Friend Rick "Superhunky" Sieman mastered that exposure back in the days of S21 in SoCal. Rick knows how to fight. He'll be at our annual chili cookoff on 6/10. If any FODD folks need some insight and incite :-) Rick can get you in gear. See http://www.baja.net/chili/

You should be able to edit your description now. :mc_smiley:

And I'm not sure what you mean here. You can start a new topic in any category except the "From the Staff" forum category. I checked this and logged in as a non-staff member and was able to start a new topic w/ no problems. :mc_smiley: Please let us know if you still cannot start a new topic here.

All good now. Thanks much!

Thanks for the new gallery!

Please open up the ability for us to edit our photo discriptions. I have an error in one of my recent uploads and I cannot fix it.

Also, why is the ability to create new topics in this forum disabled?

is that behind the dunes? i stay on the left side as your facing the dunes coming in.

Yep, the west side has much better camping areas IMHO.

We are still going out on Friday. I think we'll camp on the west side for sure. Most of my regulars that go all have excuses. We do 19+ trips a year. Gotta use the toys and be with the family!

Look for the Hawaiian Flag!

i will be there. we camped out last year at the dunes and rode around to various areas of the race course. had to dodge the blm guy a bit but had a good time. got a lot of good pics. never thought about posting them. kinda forgot about that. lets get together and make a weekend out of it.

I am not sure what the BLM could possibly say when the race course goes right through the access roads to the dunes at one point. There is a spectator area in Crystal and in Amargosa central this year so hopefully Barney will be busy there.

We'll head out Friday afternoon and will likely be set up by the kiddie track on the west side.

It looks like the BITD 250 race is using the exact same course as last year. We are gathering a group of people to check out the race and we expect to see the racers go by twice within an easy ride from camp.

Here is my cheap map. The orange is the race course. Blue is the paved access on the east side of the dunes. Lightblue is the dirt access on the backside of the dunes.

Look for the camp with the Hawaiian flag flying!

Also understand that the US Fish and Wildlife people are total shils for the eco-a-holes.

This is an uphill fight. Do not give up.

How about a mass demonstration at CBD HQ in Tuscon?
