A few of my vids from Glamis

What can I say? I had an absolute blast this weekend and the truck ran better than I could've hoped for.....not to mention grabbed alot of attention at a packed Glamis sand drags. Here's a few vids we caught while there....enjoy the soundtrack

One of maaaany runs down the sand drags, hitting 80mph, rain had come through the area so after a while the sand had a pretty thick consistency and had gotten pretty deep at the start....especially with all the high powered sand rails churning it up.

Don't watch this one if you get motion sickness, lol. A little shaky on this one but this was the highlight for me and my buddy......a 26mi. long full tilt run with rollers, flats, woops, jumps, you name it. This vid is just a section of it and I averaged about 60mph and got to 80mph a few times. This truck never ceases to amaze me.

I'm also waiting on a few pics and vids from another friend so I'll post them up when I get them.

Awesome man, good to see people using this thing how it's made to be used.

Very nice! Is that with the headers?

not only was that sick...it sounded absolutely ******** lol

From purely a sound perspective the first video is just AWESOME! With the headers and muffler that thing just screams.
I can't believe the sound was from INSIDE the cab, good gawd!

The last video had me wondering how the schocks held up over the 26 continuous miles of 'rollers', did they suffer heat failure at all?

Also, how far can a person drive near the oceon down there, that looks like a pretty cool area?

Nice SOCO!!! Sounds great!!

Amazing videos SOCO!
I'd really like to see more videos of your truck in motion but from another vehicle. Do you know what I mean?

Isn't it amazing how this truck does in the sand!? The "reasonable" whoops don't even move the truck.

Thanks guys!

It did help with the sound that the windows were down as well but, either way, when you open it up, it just roars. The 26mi. trip was great and I didn't notice any difference in the shocks or handling. I didn't actually feel them but I didn't experience anything that had me wondering either. There's another section of Sand Hwy that actually has a ton more woops and would probably work the shocks even more.....this part was more smooth but with bigger rollers and such. Probably the most fun I've had in the truck so far. It's nowhere near an ocean though, lol, Imperial Sand Dunes takes up a gigantic area near the AZ./Cal. border.

Hopefully you'll get to see a shot of me making a run down the drags, a friend of mine took a few vids from the sideline and said he would get them to me. I would love to have one from another vehicle while doing the sand hwy run. I had alot of people tell me it was awesome looking though, lol.

Looks like Peppercorn was commenting on the Salton Sea. I've never been to Glamis...how close can you get to the Salton Sea from the dunes?
