i got there thursday night and stayed untill monday afternoon. Good times in the dunes for sure, i got frustrated a couple of times due to a slow pace. I am an asshole and like to drive fast, i also do not have any patients for the slower guys. Sorry, i go to the dunes to burn some fuel and push my Maverick to its limit.

I rode 135 miles total, and did not have a single issue with my maverick. The daytime temps were in the mid 80's and some of the guys in the group had to stop every 20 minutes or so to let their cars cool down. My car did not go over 210* all weekend and i pushed it hard everywhere i went. My STM clutches (steel spider) performed awesome.

This was my first trip with my 3 Rigid lights on the roof. The spread worked out great for night duning, i was able to see to the side of me very well. Now i need to get my actuator installed so i can adjust it on the fly. I was told my lightbar looks like a spaceship comming in to land, haha.

here are some pics of the fun.

Nice pictures.

Hope the little ride we did in the dunes behind Olds was not too slow for you. My friends in the 900 and the 800s were getting beat up chasing me in the dunes and I had to slow down for them. Came by your camp later in the afternoon to see if you and desertdog wanted to make a run to the drags. Both of you were napping. lol. If was damn hot on Friday.

Sounds like all you ever needed was those new clutches, glad you had good times. I noticed you have the metal under hood side vent panels, do you think those help with cooling because yours have a large venting area?

Yeah I also had a great time camping and riding with ya Mike. Not sure if its a secret or not but your much nicer in person.LOL. Thanks for the great dune rides and hope I didnt slow you up too much. I was also very frustrated when I rode behind that one guy that could not seem to stay in line or keep up even in the small stuff. He seemed like he was on the brakes more than he was on the throttle when I followed him. We all have to learn to drive the dunes somehow but a person also needs to know there limits and be responsible to spend some time learning some of the basics before venturing into the big stuff.
