  1. This past trip I just lost $70 bucks cash, must have flew out of my pocket!! I had cash on me for the ice cream man lol
  2. Ha Ha I saw your dad walking around measuring every ones cars Sunday before we headed out, I figured he wanted one now. I took your dad on a easy run over to Talladega and he was really digging it. Your mom on the other hand didn't look so thrilled LOL
  3. We are in our second year of the Elf adventures, its pretty fun watching the boys go looking for him every morning. I cant wait to see your pics Tim.
  4. I had such a blast im already looking forward to the New Years trip Dec 26-29!

  6. ...and out of the 5 drags we saw during lunch almost all were the same quads.
  7. Ha Ha those damn paper towels were flying all over the car, I was trying to keep up with the group and reach back to grab the paper towels at the same time lol
  8. Awesome man we can get you studded up! Yea I was amazed it kept driving. I crapped when I got out to take a look at the "squeak" It will be fixed this week! Ill get it running better too and then this summer ill be dropping a different motor in.
  9. Was great meeting you Paul, your car is awesome!
  10. I have to say thank you to everyone who was at the buggy round up! The nicest guys and gals for sure! I apologize if I was not in the best of spirits or the most talkative but I felt horrible the whole trip. Thursday I had a cough, Fri I had a cough and stuffy nose and I got very achy in my legs and arms, Sat day was same as Fri, Sat night I had the shakes and had a fever, I sweat it all out and felt much better Sun morning but I still have a cough and stuffy. I didn't want to get anyone sick so I just stayed close to my trailer. Fri night my propane regulator went out and luckily DJ had a extra one, I swapped it out and got the heater and fridge back up and running. My car was popping and dying, I found a loose wire on the fuel pump, that fixed the cutting out issue but it was still running very rich and down on power, I will be addressing the issue this week. The ice cream truck went by on Sat so I grabbed my cash and hauled but to the ice cream truck to get ninja turtle bars for the family. I put $70 bucks back in my pocket and never seen it again. Someone at the dunes will be $70 richer. The dune runs were very very awesome and I have to say Pete can sure pick some good lines! We did 2 buggy round up runs every day and I also did a mild run or two with the family in the car. Sunday I asked Tim why he was loading up and he said "my car is in one piece and I had a blast so im going home" I told him we were going on one more ride and he told me to be carful and that's when things break and go bad... sure enough I broke the crap out of my rear arm when I landed in a deep hole sideways. I was in 2nd gear going about 40mph when I turned then went in the air and the pass rear landed in a 3 ft hole. It hit hard but it still drove fine so I kept going with the group. I finally stopped when I realized something wasn't right, I got out and walked around and saw the carnage and I was like "holy crap I was just going through the woops at the top of third like that!!" my rear arm was barely hanging on and looked like it was going to fall off. I limped her back in one piece and loaded her up in the hauler. I wasn't upset one bit, I got to dune every day Thurs-Sun and I beat on the car pretty hard. Sausage, eggs, potatos every morning, steaks for dinner man I couldn't beat that! Thanks to my babe for cooking like crazy! It was only my second time in the car, I was finally getting used to it, learning the turning brakes and the feel of her. Im very glad I made this trip and even though I had a heck of a time it was the best time and I will not miss the next buggy round up! Thanks guys! I didn't get many pics because I was having too much fun but ill post what I have later on. Entrance road was awesome and im not gonna lie I did 40mph on it

  14. Hell yes I would like to weigh mine too! Anyone else leaving Thursday mid day from Vegas? Ill be leaving Blue Diamond and El Capitan and going towards Pahrump and over.
  15. Sweet pics everyone and cool video!
  16. I took my sand car to Rotary Evolution yesterday, compression is good and everything checks out. Good news the timing was way off so I picked up more power adjusting the timing but the bad news is the Webber carbs are too fat and not allowing for full power or revs. I cant get a jet kit in time so ill just take it as it is. Its down about 50hp he said!!! Im about to load it up in the hauler and start packing up! So stoked!
  17. Whew, I just got done with a long weekend of rock crawling! Im going to start loading up tools, compressor, load car, load, the 70 atc etc etc Tuesday and I will roll out Thursday afternoon sometime. I just need to do a little to the car here and there but its mostly all ready to go! If anyone wants to convoy out Thursday let me know when and where to meet up.
  18. Myself and some friends are heading out later today. If anyone is going see you guys there! I cant make Thanksgiving, taking the family to Cali 27th-31st to go see Disney Land and relax!
  19. Finally got the wheels done. HOLY f*cking CHRIST O MIGHTY!!!
  20. Im leaving with a big group either today Nov 22nd or sat 23rd and coming back Monday while they stay. I have to go to Cali 27-31st. Ill be back out to Dumont Dec 13-15 for the buggy trip!
