Yep still around, one of the few I think who have not sold out to the forum buyers.
The Cadillac Northstar V8 was a very popular engine in long travel buggies and then rotary with a turbo and then acura engines. I've been out of the Glamis scene for a while but typically anything reliable that will rev high and keep cool is a winner. To see those sand cars wheelie with just a blip of the gas pedal is amazing.Better be Ford powered.
I frequented back in the day when I lived in San Diego. Had a Banshee and a typical sand rail with a VW motor. I used to go before the BLM shut down about 80% of the dunes, vehicle permits, and checkpoints on Holiday weekends near Competition Hill. The party scene was crazy back then and I'm actually glad that they kicked out a lot of the party scene from there.
nice! I just got rid of my VW car. Had a chenowth 2 seater with a wright gearbox 2332 motor.
I've heard about the old days shenanigans at Comp from some buddies i go with. wild
.
Yep, I went during the years of 97'-05' or so. Between a few to several people would die each holiday weekend. Seeing Robbie Gordon in his trophy truck was AMAZING. Ahhh the good ole' days. I bet that place is still a ton of fun. Where I live now there are some dunes with small bowls. I'm going to throw a paddle tire on my YZ and check it out this next Spring.
What's the details on the long travel? I see some blue on those shocks, are they Fox or King?
Its a 2006 RAW motorsports Tri-Sport. LS powered
its an LS1 block with LS6 heads and upgraded cam. pushing 512 hp.the short list:
mendeola 2D
King dual bypass front and triple bypass rear
JL audio in car stereo with sub
Racer X car to car race radio setup
heated PRP seats..............list goes on lol.
Sexxxy bro!! I bet those LED whips are bright as hell at night! Some type of paddle shifter setup with be awesome for that sand car. Do the drags still happen over by Gecko in the evenings?
yea they're serious whips. light saber whips. paddle shift would be legit. Ill add that to the mod list. would go good with the steering wheel I just put in.
drags still go down every weekend! I'll upload a vid if you want to go down memory lane. lol
I usually try and camp at cement flats near the ranger station on Gecko, its easy and I don't have to go deep like at roadrunner. usually pretty hardpacked there. next week we are staying at the washes by the Glamis store for the first time so that should be interesting.
