First off, Bruce I'm so sorry you got hurt man! You and Rod were the some of the coolest guys out there, and I thank you for showing up. E-mail me your address and what size you want and I'll send ya some shirts and DVDs this week. I hate how bad things happen to good people. You guys have some really nice quads, that's for sure! At least you'll have something to watch while you're laid up. Regarding the shoot, there were three rails and two trucks. The day seemed fraught with problems, Bruce getting hurt, one of my big EZ ups getting broken, the blower on my inflatable arch getting dropped in the sand and breaking, my truck having fuel delivery issues, etc. It went ok, I think they got some cool footage, but now it is how they handle it "in post." I missed it but apparently my dog pooped on camera in a time lapse shot. That still makes me chuckle... LOL I would have pics to post, but I left my damn memory card at home, so I've got nothing... For those of you that doubted permit status, I have attached a copy of the BLM permit. Big thanks to those of you that weren't haters.

Thanks we'll give it a go! The three sand cars I had lined up are all broken, so it's just two race trucks that will be there. I guess this proves why trucks are better... =) J/K guys.... We'll see ya in the sand next season. I'll post air date and time to this thread once it's known. -Paul

This is what they told me. I'm actually surprised I got this much info: Wicked Dual Sport Mendeola transmission 500 Horse Power LS2 Motor 20" travel Cobalt Bule/Black Sounds like a pretty legit car.

I agree it's going to be hot! Pismo would have been a better location choice, but I have no say. At this point the "call time" is 9:30 am which is too late IMO. Of course, all of the necessary permits are in order. This is a professional production by a major network. What we would be doing is staging a sand drag race. The host of the show will drag race people (including our team cars) in the car he just traded for. If they make duners look stupid and irresponsible, they will be making their host look that same way. Besides, there is only one way they are going to get footage of stupid acts... At this point we are bringing out 2 race trucks, a class 1, and a sand car. I'd like to make sure we smoke the host!! =) But I'm not certain our heavy a$$ race cars can do it. So, it should be fun and everyone and all vehicles are invited.

I wish, but no. Producers are cheap now days....

Hi Everyone! Its Paul here from Dirt Alliance, I just wanted to let everyone know we will be filming a short bit for the network A&E at Dumont next Saturday (shoot date 4/28) The shoot is for a show called "Barter Kings" Here is a bit of info on the show: "New York, NY-- March 16, 2012 – A&E has commenced production on the new original real life series “Barter Kings,” featuring teams of entrepreneurs pursuing items they want by trading other items that they currently own. Cash is never exchanged and value is subjective, but these barterers know the current market well and they will trade multiple times over to get to the object of their desire. The network has ordered 13 half-hour episodes scheduled to premiere this summer on A&E. “Barter Kings” follows the thriving subculture of cashless trading and the dramatic chain of events as entrepreneurs aim to get what they want by trading what they don’t need." The host of the show has bartered for a sandrail and this reveal will highlight the sand lifestyle, including a sand drag race. I am looking for spectartors and sandcars wanting to participate. At this point we will have a few of our team vehicles out there as well. I will have my race truck out. I want to showcase an "authentic" scene, so hopefully some of you can make it out. Even if you are planning on going out for the weekend, please get in touch and come hang out while the shoot is going on. Please contact me if you are interested paul@dirtalliance.com
