I got my tickets. This year I'm going to try and finish with the group I started with. I've done this event maybe three years and I have never hit all the card stops. One year I broke, similar to the brake issue another member recently had. One of the brake caliper bolts came out. Basically rubbed the rim in half. The next year I just missed one of the stops. I was having to much fun driving I guess. Last year I stopped to help someone that was on their side. (finally got to use my winch). I caught up to my group, well half of them at the finish.

Stacy bought a couple tickets for us.. I’m not sure how many we have but I will find out.

I had planned on taking my old RZR through it and then returning to the new owner.. I sold it at a slight discount to do that.. the more I’m thinking about it now I might just ride with a friend lol

Yes spoke to them

I was having some issues….
I somehow deleted the conformation e mail, had to go back and look to see what card I used and when I bought it and then finally called DB to see what I actually bought - then things got easy!

They are so organized! Very impressed !!
Amanda From Desert Bash - explained everything and she e mailed me all the info even what I actually paid for !!

lol

How do you transfer tickets? I have tickets, but I'm waffling about wanting to do a 75-mile follow-leader trip eating dust all day.

It is dusty but it’s a lot of fun. If you let people pass you and wait. You don’t eat dust all day lol


I’m wearing my helmet and pumper so no dust for me

It is really only bad to the 1st check , after that it
will clear out alot . We stop a few times along the ride to drink and eat so we are usually close to the last in so less dust to eat . Like Ian said , let people by and let the dust settle a bit .

This. It gets very spread out after the first stop.

Part of the conditions on the sale of the car at cuz price was I can use it for desert bash.

I have never had a flat at desert bash and I ran that car twice through it with no problems.. but I’m wondering if I want the responsibility of it all.

We are soo different. The last 15 miles I am finally in a groove and ready to go another 100 lol



On a side note I kinda want to do the loop twice. Get in line early (or skip the line and start just off a little) and do the loop quickly and turn around and do it again all before they “shut it down” for the poker hands at 4:00 I think. 140 miles is totally doable by then and I still won’t be the last car to come in (under power) anyway lol

Who is with me?

I feel like the loop can include desert bar, then down to the gas station to fill up, and still make it back in time by 4:00.

Not for 250 sxs. Most people drive sooo slow out there it’s actually annoying lol. But yes a decent group without stopping can do 140 miles easy

The trail is so chopped up after the first 30-50 cars the second loop would be misery.. I have done it at the front of the pack and the back of the pack..

The back of the pack is misery but a long fun day of partying.. the front of the pack.. well it isn’t a race but there is glory. Lol

Friday nite ride would be fun, but I cant push my crew that hard without getting kickback (no way will my crew rally friday nite and be able to do the run on Saturday). 🙃

Driver meeting Friday at 6pm is already pinching my plans for dinner. But I don't want to have to be there at 7am Saturday for the make up meeting.
