Been gone from the site for a while and thought I'd check it out since I'm headed to SL Thursday. Had a trip with the family planned so I'll see you guys there! I'm going to try and pull a couple all nighters and get my quad ready. Do you guys have a plan as far as meeting up goes? Sorry if it's been covered but I didn't read all twelve pages of posts.

Anyone bringing any drag quads?

I think there will be a few drag R's there. Dave? [MENTION=105]rsss396[/MENTION]

I know for a fact there will be some drag bikes in the dunes, so you will have your fun competition.

Hey guys, I talked to a buddy up there and he is not going to be there next weekend, so we have room to park a few more trucks/trailers. We will make a plan Thursday night about getting vouchers on Friday. Weather looks decent, hope the big storms hold off but overall I think it will be a great time!

If anyone is wondering where to meet up, my family's cottage is located on Silver Lake very close to all the hotels/campgrounds. If you find the roundabout right in the center of town by the gas station, and head west towards the lake, and turn right at the lake, you will see about a half dozen rental cottages, then a small street, and my cottage is next, white with red trim. If you cross a small river/channel, then you are about 6 cottages too far north. I'll get up there Thursday night at about 8. Look for my grey avalanche parked out front with my quad in a small 6x8 trailer. Coordinates: 43.668712, -86.489979

**Parking is going to be an issue for people coming and hanging out all evening, so if you are staying at a campground or hotel right in town, please just walk over**

Another warning for people that are not familiar with the area, the cell phone service SUCKS up there. Texting is usually OK, but this past weekend, I got some texts like 2 days after they were sent...

not bringing the liger, I probably will not get it out until labor day. I am still not 100% if we can make it, I might have to work the weekend and we were just up there for the 4th.
I think my nephew is going to be there with his 363 sphynx, not a full on drag bike but runs pretty good.
He was trading wins with that weird looking hayabusa bike on the Saturday,

The bike had a best speed in 300ft of 68mph with a out of frame CPI pipe, but he wants his inframe FTZ pipe back on so the bike looks more stealth to beatup on the built 450 bikes that wont race him when they see the out of frame pipe on it. so we will see how that affects performance.

My current rig, just so you know who I am if you see me:

And I will run my Don't Tread On Me/USA flag combo. Because America.

George you guys will be able to park at the hotel, they have spots large enough for trailers.

But if somehow you can't get a spot there, our buddies cottage (which Marc referenced) is open for parking. That is where I will be parking my rig.

Yes it is different toned red.... Jack off before me did it. I haven't painted it all yet. I may have a bigger trailer too, we will see.

If there is room in the hotel parking lot I agree that would be best. I never stayed at that hotel so I don't know what the parking is like for guests with trailers.

theres my ride...

Lol hydro boost is a beautiful thing, until turning the wheel turns into mashing the brakes lol

I sure wish I was meeting you all up there! Take LOTS of pictures so us that aren't able to go can put a face with a name. Have fun and be safe.
