That Got Fusion car is a fine example of  far far far south engineering! What's with the gas tank sitting BETWEEN the driver and passenger?  Sorry to point that out but a great vid of people having fun. How big an area does St.Anthonies cover?

I don't know about doc browns rail but next time I talk to scott I will be asking!

as far as I know st anthony's is 16k acres roughly 10 times larger than LS. I personally like the swimming hole. july 16 -24 is when that bunch is going next year at this point so I started a st anthony fund so I can make it myself!  looks like a fun time to me.

from what I understand the highs are 85 - 90 degrees and there is only about 3 - 4 months out of the year that are real nice for duning.

fastcorvairs you've been there what are the good months?

Starts in June and don't go after the second week of September.  Starts to get dam cold and snow after that.  Just right for the sled guys.  I think we will be there next year in june.  I'll have to check with the people I run with form Yuma to see just what the dates are.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Hey Dsrase, I was there that week when they welded up the big red car they came and got my friends welder. We had our own breakage that week, at the beginning of your video we are at the other side of the lake, it was a very nice week and 85 is just right for some beer.

Well in a nutshell,  Doc Brown (from "Back To The Future") is a really nice guy, and quite a Mcgyver if I might say. We don't know his real name,(We kinda like just knowing him as Doc Brown) but he lives in AZ, and seems to make it to St. Anthony about the same time that we do every year. The reason that all of the pictures were taken of his car, was for amazement purposes. I wouldn't get in that car on a dare! But, he comes back every year (LOL  he brings a backup car too, and it is a twin to that one, just a different color scheme) and loves dune'n with us.  He literally has followed me thru the dunes at 60MPH about 4' off of my rear tires. He is a good driver and one hell of a Mcgyver. He wears a tool belt (Ya, even while dune'n) and packs any tool that you may need to get your broken car or bike back to camp. He keeps a roll of duct tape around his shifter so that it don't get lost. The duct tape isn't for car repairs tho, (Now don't laugh) it is so that he can make "goggles" out of his glasses to keep the sand out of his eyes!!!! (You laughed didn't you?) The guy is the nicest and fun to hang out with, but damn, his cars are simply amusing and AMAZING!!!!
