Weather does look nice. Don't forget pics and video for us not attending. I'll snap a pic as we sit on beach next few days. Sounds fair trade.

so first off never had a bad trip! only got 1/5 days of good weather out of 3 but great group of folks always makes it worth it! the riding we did do was fantastic! fast thanks for coming for a day and i know you liked all the good food lol lol it is a shame you passenger couldn't keep his down :o. everything ran great except my cold start issue but we'll get that figured out. the turbo busa seem to run damn good and all of dougies toy ran good also. wens was the best day of riding ( virgin sand and 75*) weather wise but thurs morning while fast was there was a damn close second. by fri night the utv invasion force had swept over LS so time to leave that and i tored a cv boot. fabr shame you couldn't make it. shame i couldn't make it when the big group went.

just a few pics and fabr i brought thermal underwear for this trip and used it!!!!!!!
-
btw boys......i never thought i would say this but i cannot imagine my rail w/o power steering ever again! damn what a diff that makes and the radio's are a must imo after having one. funny how many times enemy stuck his hand up and signaled up shift with his middle finger both in line of sight and on the radios after telling him repeatedly how much i like it LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO
-
Great you guys had a successful trip! Wish I was there but just wasn't in the cards this time. We can ALL get together this spring tho!!!!! DS in long johns-if Carl was there he might even have had on long pants and shoes! LMAO
-
ya the one pair of jeans he owns LMAO hell i fired the furnace in the th'er so i could stand by the exh vent on the outside to stay warm lol propane stinks coming out of the exh vent btw! when you hold your jacket over it to get it to blow up your coat
-

Holy shit that Tom Pro rips!
No Jeffco back there lol I think I'm going to stop at 15psi on this setup to keep it together (hopefully!)
Damn good trip and awesome to drive the car again, some setup quirks to iron out but fueling nicely up to and on the gate @ 6-7psi, now to work on the "turn key" stuff. I notice no loss of low end with the 9.5.1 compression and take off is just as good as it used to be with the counterbalance removed, I think it is going to run pretty good cranked up a little more.
Brian's is going to be a rocket tank wheelie machine when it is cranked up, 14 psi so far and grunts nicely on the low end..He ALMOST needed a new wing!! I envision a bat-shit crazy car @ 30psi.. holy shit..
Lots of turn-key stuff to iron out on it as well, cold start corn fuel can be a real pain in the ass!
Great time as always and awesome to chase after Fast as usual! I do have to give him the "pout award" when a Brute jumped in front of his lasso attempts to tow brians car. Brain threatened me if I didn't hook up before him... Sorry Fast, ..something about NEVER signing your tow rope?..?..
Missed all ya all that couldn't make this one! Hope for one for the record books this spring!

LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO
we didn't ....doug " borrowed " it to go pull jack out. i guess he didn't hear me as i said i'll grab mine. i would gladly ask you to pull me off the sand if i was broke down and would sign the rope.......i draw the line at signing the rope because my motor flooded and i had to be pull started!! ;D ;D ;) ;) ;) LMAO LMAO had to pull start it every morning in fact and the brute did just fine. will have to figure that one out. once it started it was fine the rest of the day as long as you didn't let it get cold. i burned 18 gals in 3 days down there.

two days of great rides!! the blue rail is allens...3.8 v6
thanks fast for coming down to lead the group as you are the master at that! it's a shame that kid got scared and puked in your rail twice
-
OK, on videos, looks like we need to use the share link generated via you tube. Down at share video section.
-
are you sure? cause it looks like it finally embedded itself
just kidding.....i have never noticed that option before...interesting
-
when you watch the video...-pay attention to the gear position display on enemy's dash. he shifts 6th gear and said he was at 6 psi boost and 25% throttle roughly. we were going faster than i thought.
-
The video looks great. Glad the new engine changes worked out good. Wish I could have been there, the day looked awesome. And the busa sounds bad too. Yes, we need a big spring trip. But let's plan and book early. It's been filling up fast.
-
last week of april or first week of may?
-
enemy tuning my rail a bit.....had a few lean spots and checking to see if i got the fish eye lens setting off go pro. nope it was still in that mode as i was standing 5 feet from the th'er door and looks like 10 foot or more lol

I'd say last week of April. 22nd thru 28th. Snake hunt is a couple weeks before that.
-
i can make that work...anyone else?

There is a strong possibility that Jerry and I will not be back from Yuma until the end of May.

By the end of May, won't it be like 135 degrees out there?
-
or worse and too hot at LS in june
-
We in! Have to get dates but end of May I will be watching my daughter graduate. I post up date.
-
YOU GUYS NAIL DOWN THE DATES AND I'M IN.
-
well those dates budlight listed "I'd say last week of April. 22nd thru 28th." will work for me so if those are the for sure dates post it up so i can get the reservations made now! lol i will not be able to make a trip to idaho in 2018 as i need to re gear the rail as well as too many family events. but the current gearing is sufficient for LS and i would pre fer to get the rail right where i want it at LS rather than another trip to idaho to ride in others rails lol only thing that made that trip worth it was the people otherwise toy wise it was a bust.
-
for those that were there......jack didnt lose his ignition, he packed his timing belt full of sand and skipped 6 teeth. his rail also has the ford turbo 2.3
-
you boys and your Fords................ :nw :m ;D ;D
-
well he's mid engine with a full floor but no matter what you still need the timing cover on if your going to bottom out and spray the belt with sand lol
-
;D ;D That's why I have a jesel cover over my Jesel belt drive since Carl likes giving sand showers. :m That's about the only way I'd get sand to my belt but.......................we know Carl! LMAO LMAO
-
LMAO ya well doug took his place last trip on roosts!! i have a cover on mine to be safe!
-
took me a while but got dougs video. doug used his cell phone so video isn't great but really picked up the sound of the engine and go pro can never do this.
