Riding at Glamis is better but, for the kids Dumont was a great place. They can ride right next to camp and not stir up dust.

Pismo is a little too busy for kid riding on those big weekends.


Yep I was there at Dumont, and the wind and dust was really going on that weekend. Some points you couldnt even see the next trailer across from you.... Hope it rains before the weekend but I am looking forward to Pismo, like Dabeechman said, its all setup and the sand is dragged by a few nice people at a time. I missed it last year but still had a blast at Dumont. I maybe at Pismo the begining fo the week but may leave early because of family coming in from out of town.

Reserve America - 1-800-444-7275
They have the Monopoly of the campgrounds.

DaBeechMan - What is going on at Pismo bro, why are they enforcing the DB level now? They have told me all year long that they would never do that and now there is no drag racing at pismo with loud pipes. My buddy almost got a ticket last Saturday and went for three days and only had an hour of ride time

Yes it really is, unfortunate that they will lose my revenue over there. Oh well I gues I can buy a 4x4 quad and put around the fence line eh......

raptorowner...your just scared that imma beat ya!


Well you probably will but I will have a banshee in my camp that will give you a run for your money......... You probably know who I am talking about.

You know Phil right? Well he pilots his bike. Blake ring a bell?

Posted by: RaptorOwner

What?? ARe you joking or what??? He took 1st place last year on Thanksgiving weekend at Pismo.

Posted by: RaptorOwner

Not Phil, but the owner of the bike did, Blake. He got one of those dinky little first place trophies they hand out at the end.

Posted by: RaptorOwner

Not phils bike but Phil rides Blakes bike and that thing is pretty fast!!

on thanksgiving the 4x4 club puts an organized sand drag event with lights, timers with 60' and 300' times with slips and they grade the track for you. Its anything but slow. Takes them an entire 7 hours just to run the 100-150+ bikes in the competition. Last two years the weather was good enough to ride in. Last year the weather was great.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

you going to be there rescuediver?

was it 3 or 4 years ago when we had that rain? i thought it was 3 but my memory isnt very reliable.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

if you mean by the amount of people...? Its hard to get on or off the beach because there are so many people. The ramp is typically backed up to the bridge.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

id venture to say beech goes to the drag strip more then you go to the sand. Like i said earlier. I get out enough. Yeah, and i may get beat. But it wont ever be by your 4-stroke.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

we'll exchange numbers and ill meet you out there sometime. Maybe i can show some of these clowns that beech is an awesome fenceline racer

Posted by: DaBeechMan

yeah, ill bring my banshee out to the races on the flats. Should be a good time.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

whoa whoa whoa

Posted by: DaBeechMan

...bad imagery....

Posted by: DaBeechMan

10/23?

Posted by: DaBeechMan

havent heard anything about it

Posted by: DaBeechMan

ohhhh ok, the dune race. I had drag race in my head.

In that case its hard to say how many or how busy the beach will be that weekend because the race has never been done before in pismo. Kind of a toss in the dark if you were to guess.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

thanks rescuediver. I have many things on my head and she is always one of them.

As far as registering you show up early, pay a gate fee to get onto the flats, then if you want to play you register at the booth they set up at the south end part of the flats.

I havent seen the flyer yet so i dont know the registration times. Dates are saturday and sunday

Posted by: DaBeechMan

i live 15 minutes away so i just go for the day and go home. Ill be there saturday and sunday pending the status of the bikes...lol

Posted by: DaBeechMan

i know of some low budget housing if you ever need a place to escape to.

Anni, im the baller? Sh*t son, how is that 100k loss to the chinese feeling? ouch! lol

Posted by: DaBeechMan

no problem, 8.75% goes to me though. You camping down there?

Posted by: DaBeechMan

well be safe down there. I might go down early to test out a new motor.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

ill try to keep up

Posted by: DaBeechMan

lol since i dont drink maybe you'll go easy on this old man.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

first you make me feel old, then you make me feel fat. LOL its on now nigga!

Posted by: DaBeechMan

Ill tell ya, when you get off one after riding them for a day or two it sure makes you feel like an old man heh

Posted by: DaBeechMan

you typically only get the pucker affect when it goes sideways or when the front end gets a little too high.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

not that fast. Everybody just thinks im fast BR>

300ft is the standard in dirt. Anything further in length then that can be very deadly since its not a stable surface.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

your invited to take pictures and cook dinner. Know you role woman! lol

Posted by: DaBeechMan

DQ has to roll on stock stuff because heavy carb slides hurt her thumb...LOL show him your thumb throttle extentor...lmfao...bahaha...lol jk (she gets mad when people laugh at it...hehe)

DQ doesnt know what she wants to ride. LOL i cant build it until i know what im building. Typical females right rescue...? They always want something done for THEM, but the game is they just dont want to tell you what they want.



Posted by: DaBeechMan

beech gots that pimp juice...





lol

Posted by: DaBeechMan

im just a keyboard racer. I have nuffin

Posted by: DaBeechMan

i run a stock cylinder on one of my bikes, but i wonder what the "stock" cylinder was off of

Posted by: DaBeechMan

the "rule" has actually been enforced for the past 2 years or so and it took that long for the higher ups to finally get the rangers to crack down. Its really unfortunant.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

lmao no he didnt.

Posted by: DaBeechMan

i cant remember who won. But i do know phils bike runs well for what it is, but it isnt going to kick my ass by any means

Posted by: DaBeechMan

Posted by: dancingqueen

Are you talking about Thanksgiving 727? If so you just go out to the flats the morning of the race and register.

Posted by: dancingqueen

More than likely he will be there for both days

Posted by: dancingqueen

I cant believe I wasnt invited now thats just cruel... I always get left out of the good stuff.

Posted by: dancingqueen

You know, if it wasnt for me, there wouldnt be any good pics of you because I ALWAYS TAKE THEM! For once can you please take some of me....please.

Oh your gonna get it. Besides I want one thing, the beech wants another. So we go with his idea since hes the builder. Guess builder/boyfriend know best huh As for that thumbsaver....I DID NOT PUT THAT ON THERE! My daddy did So stop making fun of me already....haha. Besides its just easier when beech tells me what to do, since he is always right

I totally agree thats why we go from Sat to wed before turkey day. Pismo is too crowded any holiday weekend for kids, its amazing how many knuckleheads show up that dont pay attention to anything. I hate holiday crowds!

What's great about Pismo though, is you can close off as big of an area you want so, the kids can ride in a somewhat protected area. Just disquise your entrance and exit points to keep the idiots from cutting through


Posted by: rescuediver

Sounds good, I don't have anything to keep up with your Sheeight now, helping a friend do the top end on his LT500

Only number I know is the one for Reserve America. Maybe if you call them everyday, they can let you know about people calling in cancellations to get their money refunded.

LOLnice reply

Posted by: rescuediver

Dabeech, Just out of curiosity, are the drag races over Thanksgiving done by a sanctioning body? And if so, is the 96 db still enforced for racing bikes at the strip?

Posted by: rescuediver

Thanks DaBeech

Pismo blows!

Posted by: 2004YFZ450

Do you think the weekend of the races 10-23 are going to be very crowded?

Posted by: 2004YFZ450

There are supposed to be ATV races on Pismo Beach that weekend.

Posted by: DrDune

No good @ Pismo on Turkey day ..... weathers too unpredictable. You may catch some sun but I wouldn't count on it, and it may be pretty lonley out there. good luck if you go you might hit the Quad jack pot and have a lil heat wave that'll clear out the sea dew.

Posted by: 1BADRAPTOR

Go to Dumont, it nice there and good racing, hell with pismo .....

Posted by: 1BADRAPTOR

I would say thaT Too if i lived 5 minutes away, you guys need to get out and try some other dunes, it's allright beech if you get beat, there is always some one faster..

Posted by: Eyetattoo

Is it pretty crazy that week? I cant make it to Glamis so I guess Ill be at Pismo.

Posted by: Eyetattoo

Is it pretty crazy out their? Similar to Glamis but on a smaller scale?
