Ummm yup! That was pretty much the way it was in these "safe" buggys back in the day when a fatality a weekend was common at the dunes!
The Part I like is how he tells ya that the more HP they make the Larger the tire they can turn. Like I always say you really need to run the least amount of Paddle as Possible and you can really haul Ass. They Like to have a lot of Roll out when they up the HP. He Side hills it next to the Water really nice. And they are 2wd pieces of crap. low on HP.
Big props to the guy that rolls it 1st.... When they show it in slow mo, he doesn't even get a grain of sand in his hair!!!! He's way BADA$$!!!! Growing up, my parents had a VW sandrail, they went everywhere in it.... The big day was when my dad was able to get ahold of a Chenowth chassis....He still talks about it... Doing wheelies down the street was his way of prepping the buggy. He was the coolest Dad on our block, gave all the kids rides....When they took away Devil's slide at pismo, he stopped going. Said it wasn't worth the time and effort, so we went to the desert and had a blast!!!! It was awesome growing up in an offroad family and I'll try and keep that going in my family.
Unfortunately, taking the desert away is currently on the list.
I hope Greyson can say the same thing you just did. Kinda sad huh? Imagine not being able to do things like the Hammers or a good race weekend at Cal City.
It's cool your mom and dad made that commitment to you and you're continuing the legacy. We need more Americans to do this so we don't forget and don't lose what is rightfully ours!
That's how it was around my Hood and Ive been going to Glamis for 25years now and remember it for what it was back then and now I don't care to go back as much as I used to, hell 95% of the people on this Forum were in Diapers when I was Running around Glamis in its Prime. Shit most people around here never saw Comp Hill live on a Thanksgiving night in full party mode. I have taken my Kids there and had some Great Family Time but the Anti Family Democrats want it all shut down so I guess at this point I don't even care anymore and were going Offroading in different places now. So be it. It was fun while it lasted. P
arty is almost over Move along.
Oh yea Garret, I remember the days of Devil's slide and staging at Oso Flaco Lake, then riding south almost to Pt Sal. Over 100 sq miles to ride in but now only 5. Yea those days are gone!
