I am not liking the temperatures I am seeing at Little Sahara next week… Dipping below freezing at night and partly cloudy most of the days…  Looks like Thursday and Friday are the best days right now.. 60 for the high!

I was hoping for more warmth… 😎

We’ll survive a few days!!! Looks great starting Friday!!! So are we going late for warmth and park further away from the base of sand mountain?? Or leave like today and beat the snow AND the crowds 😜

DUNES!!!!!!!!    Gotta figure out exactly when and where now!!!

I spent my whole weekend on the sand rail… Ran all my wiring through the tubes, Now I just need to mount some lights.. Power is there!   Some night riding this time!!  also checked my valves they seem noisey,  I noticed I had tons, and I mean TONS of side play in my rockers…  So I took em off and shimmed them. I had to add 4 shims!!!  anyway.. I love how simple this set up is…. Lash caps, and stock adjusters….11 years or so old…  still kicking ass…. less shit to break… and NO ratio rockers….. I think they are just hard on the valve train! Also changed my breather box and just dialed things in even more…   I have had this rig out 4 times now…  It’s getting pretty dialed in!!!!  😎

Gonna do some repairs to my trailer and I am about ready to go!!!

Yup! Racks on racks. 70 grit silica sand is the best.

Snowed last night…. darn weather… kinda putting and damper on my sand rail excitement…   It always does this.. ONE last snow storm!!

Moisture in the dunes is a good thing. Hope it warms up for the weekend.

Dunes were awesome…. I took no pics.. not one… 😎  Didn’t even pick up a digital device for 4 days…. 😎 AHHHHHHH.. 😎  And very bad service out there…

I raced a V8 mid engine rail up the hill…  He flew past me on the start through the woops… but I reeled his ass in… 😎   Third gear pinned at the top!!  it was awesome!!!  The power to weight ratio on this rig is incredible… 😎    He asked if I had nitrous on my rig… naaa…. 😎  Just lots of boost!!  This rig fuckign pulls like crazy!!!!!!!!

It was cold a few nights, it was windy as FUCK saturday… but it was still awesome!!!!  nothing like the dunes… nothing.. 😎

Now I wanna look at pics… 😎 😎 😎
