Don't have the time to type out a novel, but here's some photos and a quick recap. Smaller group this trip, but a good one. My car is still having an issue, and i've basically chased it down to a failing MEFI (my 4th one in 2 cars). So i'll be replacing it with an AEM to get me through the season and do a full rewire in the off season. Dunes were beat up, but that just means you have to move faster. Most crowded i've seen the main dunes in Gordon's in years, but once again, absolutely no one in the fun ones in middle of nowhere. Did a couple good chit'n'gits, and a couple fun cruises. New goose neck box trailer now aptly titled "the roach coach" worked well for the 6 days, but needs a few things. Looking forward to working out the bugs on the car and getting back out there soon. Weather was great, Burned some fuel, did some night rides, hit the diner, did some wheelies. Good times.

Great trip report.

that is the trailer I wanted to get for years.  I just never ran into the right deal that would pull me away from something paid off & worked fine for my use.

Looks like it was a great time. Looks a lot less crowded in the flats than the reports from Glamis. Cars look fun! :cheers:

 
Great pics, thanks for sharing.

 
Cool drone shots.

Unless you already have the AEM, it's no longer an option.  Holley has taken AEM out of the "Advanced Engine Management" game.

Yea, I chatted with Redline for a bit about it. @Reece Pettersen has one in the garage for my motor, so i'll use it to get me through the season and then rewire with holley, or motec (if I feel like making my bank account cry) in the off season

 
Awesome!

Thanks for sharing.

:cheers:

  • Bud lights cause heartburn

First Trip with the "BEAST" Yep, that's what his name is. When you see it you'll think the same. He's a "BEAST". I'll keep this short. Everyone knows I'm a man of few words. Drove to Glamis........Ripped some Dunes.......Drove home. Peace

Meanwhile at stately Wayne Manor............................

 
Still running the stock tires in the Dunes. Waiting on System3 to come out with a rim for the new Can Am. Had to test the car a little more this last trip. Started hitting stuff a little harder / faster. Pretty impressed with the suspension. Still spinning quite a bit with the knobby tires. I'm sure once the paddles are installed it should hit a lot better. The wife stayed back at the Moho for 2 rides which allowed @ROBERT L and I to pick up the pace a couple notches. Until we gapped one of our guys, which caused him to nose dive his front end. That slowed us down. You've gotta take care of your group. At least we got to open it up for a little bit. Nice little grins on our faces for those few dunes. The new SXS wants to drink more fuel. Can't wait to let her guzzle once again. Peace

 
Great Pics thanks for sharing. Gonna need you to txt me some of those whip pics please
