Friend of my son works for Redline, the twin turbo LSX engines are around $95,000
He has multiple Tatums and is building another one. Redline builds his twin turbo LSX motors similar to what the Street racers run in the midwest.
That's what I thought.... The last time I was into Glamis he had the green money car and the dark red/gray tatum and Craig had one similar.
Didn't think Reline was still building. Thought they had some issues back when with oiling in some of their motors.... Could be wrong it was long ago..
Everyone was using CBM and moving away from Turnkey and Redline. Someone was working with Nelson's but was having issues with that motor as well.
Tables turned, CBM motors were not making it through a weekend of drags and now Redline is the goto for fast sand rail motors, They are out there on the big weekends with their laptops tuning for the RR Estate dwellers.That's what I thought....

They took a dive in 11’ I think it was. They mostly do blower motors and not turbos now. But redline is the popular choice out there still. Danzio still does some but very pricey.Crazy on the 180.... I just remember CBM was it and couldn't get motors done fast enough... Thanks for the info!
CBM is a client of mine, they have the far east market cornered, cant keep up now for years sending engines to Dubai and UAE. Those guys buy 3-4 at a time so they have spares.They took a dive in 11’ I think it was. They mostly do blower motors and not turbos now. But redline is the popular choice out there still.

Nelson never got off the ground
I joined 2002. Time of the 45 square mile closure.
Use to go to the Ramp meetings and the cleanups.
The Slappy guy bought it, spread it way to far out, sub forums, sub sub forums.
The Slappy guy only conversed with a small clique of his friends and people not in that “inner circle” started to lose interest in the forum.
It’s where Banschee Bob appeared and spun off to his now defunct DUMONT Sand Dunes group.
He had a red silver racer for a season but current is tatum.Thought he had a Tatum?
Dam all of the pit Bull bashing threads gone! All of my tire kicker threads gone! All of my for sale posts gone.
Not surprised. That place went to shit around 2011-2013.
I donated to a few glamis dune ferry operations did a ton of GD.com postal’s. Contributed to a few go fund me’s and over paid for items to help raffles for people who needed money.
then that skid dick milked the place dry claiming ptsd and hard times this and that.
GD.com donated a shit ton to that guy. Bought him a motor for his sand car. Forgot what his username was.

That is a major league crock of shit right there...
Ever been to a Veterans Day event? Rob has literally thousands of people show up for that, and everyone on that board knows exactly where he camps, and is always welcome there after any of the events he puts on.
From the golf tournaments to the EPO races, Rob is out there and greets everyone with a huge smile and handshake and more often than not, a big ol hug.
The so called "inner circle" was out in wash 13 I believe? It was actually a huge joke. There were so many people camped/circled back in the day, they eventually formed another circle of trailers around the "inner circle" of trailers, and that's how that joke got started. Rob never even camped in that wash as far back as I can remember, he was always in wash 22. Close to China Wall and the big dunes where it's the most fun to ride.
Patrick ran the forums, not Rob. Rob loves computers about as much as RD does.
So stop spreading rumors would ya? There is absolutely no reason for that.
Have you seen his new trick? He has pins he puts in the front suspension to limit suspension droop. Helps the nose stay down. Kinda like super cross guys at the gate only his stays limited until he removes the pinsAaron is out every big weekend, with only one goal, be fastest at the drags. Hes pushing 2500 hp now, launch control, variable boost control, fuel tank and lead in the front of the car, etc., etc.. He has a bigger Renegade hauler and bigger stacker now, gotta be 85-90 feet easy. Pad 3 on major weekends.
Cobra deck with Teague power. His trailer is at Adrenaline now.He bought a big boat this last summer with a blown big block from Havasu and will probably show up in Havasu again this summer.
Nope I disagree. You are 100% wrong and you shit and fall back in it.
I was one of the active forum members on GD.com and “Slappy” aka the owner only conversed and inter-acted in the forum with his circle of friends.
Read that: In the forum what THIS thread is about. Right?
What he did on the dunes may appear different but we’re talking online on GD.com and it was all about him and a select few. It became his vanity forum. He only responded to his clique.
No doubt the main reason the forum activity backed into hell and members vanished in numbers after the Slappy guy bought it. I’ve never been back nor anyone I know in a large circle of Duners.
Only then did “Slappy” wake up and try to recover the lost activity on his in-defeat forum in with the as you put it “back slapping.”
If he didn’t hate SXS’s as their popularity soared he sure fooled my Glamis group. The forum layout reflected that for years and years. That ran a HUGE % of activity off.
Or was it all lost in the sub and sub sub forums?
Spreading it out was the final mistake and finished it off. It was THE duner social site up until then.
Defenders can talk it up but GD shriveled into
Obscurity when it’s popularity should have been at its pinnacle.
Get a hold of yourself - It was a hell of a good forum at one time. Hope it comes back and you invite me back.
Sad. If you knew half as much as you think you do, you would know that he owns a CanAm now!
Consider yourself invited. Make sure you use the same nick.
He owned a can am. He had for one season, didn't like it, sold it to one of his buddies and went back to his quad. Honestly, I think it was too much car for him...
That's great news! Now I won't be the only one still on a quad!!
He was definitely not impressed with the thing. We went for a couple rides in it, and was just too slow in the sand. I wasn't impressed with it either (in the sand).
We're you there when he lent it to Rick, and Rick brought it back after he rolled it??
Musta dumped it right after he fixed it.
Good times!!!
Any side by side is pretty slow in the sand frankly, especially if you have driven a real sandcar, ie one made out of metal.Too slow in the sand!? Did you guys have the "Wife key" in it?
Yes we were there that trip. And that's why you don't loan your car to drunk people who have no idea what they're doing in a side by side in the dunes!

Same here, took 10 years off, went back this season once with a RZR, wife said nope, go buy a sandrail, and make it a Funco. I have driven a tuned up Can Am 2 seater, that was fun, night and day better than a rzr, but neither can compare to 500 hp.Exactly, any group that runs hard with sandcars and SxS’s sooner then later the SxS’s start falling apart. Been there done that the wife and I got back into glamis both with turbo rzr’s and I realized quick that I needed to be back into a sandrail. We both have Funco’s now and our older girls drive the rzr’s on family rides.

Yup, and the dunes are littered with belts, chunks of the things everywhere.I don’t understand why anyone would want something belt driven in the sand.. for the dirt they are fine, but they don’t put the power down efficiently enough for sand.

It’s pretty much slipping on steeper hills. Other thing imo many over paddle their sxs too. Like Walt said dunes are littered with torn belts. Probably more broken belts than corona bottlesI don’t understand why anyone would want something belt driven in the sand.. for the dirt they are fine, but they don’t put the power down efficiently enough for sand.
These guys are going big block now too. I heard Jeff is looking to switch to proline motor. Same motor fireball camero uses. On alcohol
Yep. There is a limit thereif they can figure out a drvietrain for it.. albins wont hold it.
yup, they are already destroying the ring and pinions in a trip or 2 with the power they are at now.Yep. There is a limit there
if they can figure out a drvietrain for it.. albins wont hold it. i talked to aaron on sat about it.

Why don’t more guys go to fluid coupling automatics like those offered by Transaxle Engineering?
Shameless plug because I know Jeff Field’s son and I think they have a great product, but they’ve proven to be durable enough for racing.

johnny runs the show now. he built me the diff section for my car, i think the biggest issue is the cost compared to a mendi s4. even a s4d is less expensive than the fields auto. my brothers desert dynamics has a fields auto in it, works awesome but gotta run a big cooler and fans to keep it happy.
You are right and we have all being saying the same thing for 10yrs.Drags are not my scene at Glamis but very cool that these guys are pushing the envelope. I hate to be the one to bring it up, but eventually something bad is gonna happen. Before long they will be getting close to 200 mph. No crowd control, no barriers, on the same track with 35 mph quads and side by sides, sooner or later the unthinkable will happen, out of control tumbling into the crowd. They need a sand drag strip, timing lights, like they do in the UAE. I know that won’t happen in Glamis though because nobody wants to assume the liability. Same reason BLM won’t put barriers up, soon as they do it becomes an organized event and someone is on the hook for what happens.
The August 2010 MDR California 200 crash changed off road racing forever...You are right and we have all being saying the same thing for 10yrs.
Sooner or later it’s gonna happen and all the BigHad’s will start suing

Agree on that you know the risk you take the chance spectating any motorsports and everyone wants to get closer to the action leaving racers a smaller path.I use to go to drags to take photos stopped doing that years ago kids got bored actually now go elsewhere at that time.It has already happened where someone has gone into the crowds at glamis drags.The holes and whoops are getting deeper the people are getting more stupid by the season.Im well aware of the incident. I was supposed to be there with this nurse I was trying to hookup with.
I decided not to go last minute. She had a traumatic night of trying to keep
People alive.
Big Had is a piece of shit. He said the driver was driving to fast for the terrain.
You stand close to race cars and bad shit can happen. He took zero self responsibility

When i went in aarons racer he hit 123,125,123 on three runs at the drags i know they are pretty cautious about when they go down too if its too crowded or narrow they might skip a run or just make it short.But alot of others running 90-100 as well.Those guys don’t put up the 150 numbers at the drags. Way too risky. Not to say they are doing 100-110. Risk is real
