sanddunesaddict Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Pete and I talked about this before and I have been trying to get the old pics from my family back in the 60's and 70's. I got a few this weekend at the family reunion. This is at Coral Pink in 79.This may have been the trip my mom rolled a Baja with my dad and she was pregnant with me. Here is my Uncle and grandma. I guess its like they say like father like son.....this is my dad(on his knees) working on someones car.The young boy and the guy standing there is my dads youngest brother and my other uncle in that is in the first pic Look at the paddle tires. Here is a pic of either my dads cousin Jim or my uncle Kevin(they looked alot alike at this age) at Dumont in 79 sometime and I believe that is my dads youngest brother. Check out the varitracks.Those paddles worked awesome but they didnt sell alot of them. I will work on getting the others from people and get them scanned. This isnt quite as old but was when Black Beauty was only a couple years old as thats a 85 Odyssey in the back ground at Coral Pink. anyone else feel free to post up old pics. 1 Quote
dunefreak Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 awesome! The only "old" dune pics I have are from like 2003 and I posted them in an older thread somewhere. Cool pics. I love seeing the old school days in the dunes. Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted September 5, 2010 Author Posted September 5, 2010 I tried to find that thread but couldnt so I just started a new one. Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted September 5, 2010 Author Posted September 5, 2010 also the first pic was my dads first car..He gave it to Kevin when he got the car in the second pic infront of the one he is working on it had a 2.3 Pinto engine. Then came Black Beauty. Quote

sandawg Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 I'll get over it.... I thought I didn't hit the button the first time so I hit it again only to see two identical posts. Looks like it got deleted, thanks. I guess you had to be here a year or so ago to fully appreciate my post to you. The thread going on at that time was hilarious! All because I tried to "Pull my post". Thus my post. Quote
ltr450rider Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 My parents have some great super 8 films from back in the day. Some got transfered to VHS about 15 years back. They need to get them "digitized" before the film starts degrading. Quote
SAND~~SNAKE Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) Hey Bert...In those 1st & 2nd pictures is that the camp ground at coral pink? Edited September 6, 2010 by SAND~~SNAKE Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 Yes it is.We always used to stay in the camp ground. Some rangers pissed my dad off and thats when we started going to the meadow. Quote
dunefreak Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Super clean gauge setup & wiring in that first pic! Quote
80grit Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 I couldn't find any from the dunes. This is my first "buggy". Use to take it up to the Indiana sand dunes on Lake Michigan. 1973 in Chicago. I was a junior in High School. Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 ^^^^ i know you have some because that "Bronc Buster" has towed us out before. Quote
FE135 Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 This is back about 1981,82 time frame. Was my favorite dune spot in the summer. Whitewater dunes, I lived about a half hour away. Get too hot, no problem, blast through the cool water and hit the sand some more. Spent many a weekend here. This one is mid 90's. My son on his first quad at Dumont. We met up with the alien duners. Couple years later he graduated to a 125. This was the whole family. This was 1999 or 2000 plus or minus, our first buggy. Somewhere I have some more including Glamis. Quote
Jakster884 Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Nice pics. Would have been a great place to dune when it was hot. Too bad they closed this place. Never had the chance to ride there. I have some pics of me in glamis from about 85-86. Thats as far back as I go... Will try to post up soon. Quote
