Buggy Roundup 11 recap

[dunefreak]

I want to thank everyone once again for coming out to support the buggy roundup! We had a great turnout of about 56 cars. Camp was huge as usual but the giant fire, thanks to Leonard the firewood man, helped bring everyone together and that is going to be a regular thing from now on. The dune rides were a blast and every ride we had a huge group. It's aways so cool to see all those buggies ripping through the dunes. There was a little carnage here and there, but not too bad overall. Huge thanks to our friends Jeremy & Kristi at Roadrunner Powersports for cooking up tacos for the entire camp and to JR and his wife for the rice and beans! Everyone loved the tacos and it was a great way to bring the crew together to raffle off some fun stuff. I really appreciate everyone who donated some cool stuff to give away. It's everyone's efforts that help make this trip was it is every year. I had a blast and met some awesome people this trip. Buggy Roundup has become a really fun crew of amazing people. We plan on doing it again in March so stay tuned for that date. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Had a great time hanging out with everyone, 

was fun to see all the buggies and fellow duners,  

 

Broke a hub, self-inflicted,  two lug nuts where loose,  everyone pitch in to get the car out of there,  amazing, big thanks to Josh for the trailer, was a big help, 

 

rolled the car over at walking speed,  went to cross over and was steep,  the rear tire slid in a hole and caught the hole, then went over,  Mark and Jared made it, unfortunately Josh got the same hole and flipped over in front of me.  that will be a good story later.   

 

thanks again Pete, always a great time.

Man, what an awesome time out in Dumont last week! Highlights were the great weather, rad people, fun sand, low crowds (until Friday PM 😆) late night bonfire chats and of course finally freaking meeting the MAN hisself!! So stoked to finally shake this dudes hand, I've been following/subscribing to his shenanigans for days but way further right here on DDR. Anyway, thank you Pete (and Ana) for putting on this event, it was my first time checking it out. We had a camp over by #7, and cruised over a few nights to hang. Good times all around! We are just on bikes and one SXS so didn't go on the group rides, but dammit that sh*t is sooo fun to witness in the big bowls, 40+ cars snaking thru the dunes and screaming those engines loud. We just park out bikes on a watch point and chill to watch the show. Thanks buggy drivers, y'all are a blast to watch 👍 

 

I'll post my own report and stop hijacking this thread haha 😂

Once again it comes to an end and I am sure I am not the only one that wants to go back. This trip never disappoints! Great people, great food, and fun times around the fire and in the dunes.

I am ready to go back right now!  Always a great time at the round up's. Been to all of them and wouldn't miss it for anything. Finally got through my shots and seems like my telephoto lens was acting up on the group run. Some were spot on and others were a bit fuzzy and the rest were just plain crap! I will redeem myself on Round-up 11.5!

Anyways, here is my photo dump. Enjoy the pictures.
