Anyone like to play in the sand?
I went to Glamis this last weekend. It was my first time out there.
Wow. The scale of that place is incredible. I grew up playing at the dunes in Silver Lake, MI, so the size comparison is off the charts. I met my little brother out there. He was out there with a crew of friends from Michigan. If you like awesome HP/weight ratios, try a blown LS motor in a long travel sand rail. It is a truly wicked ride. He also brought his sand truck. It's also a tube chassis long travel vehicle, but is only a truck in the loosest sense of the word. It was purpose built from scratch to be what it is now. Big inch LSx, manual valvebody TH400, Ford 9". THAT was my favorite. You can see it jumping at 2:45 in the vid link from a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qPLiNmwL2Y Sand car: at 00:45 and 1:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LldSUJoYxRg My brother drove his sand car, and I drove the truck. We opened them up over 100 mph on 20+ miles south to the Mexican border. That was awesome! It made me start looking for some kind of long travel 2wd pre-runner type truck!
