Absolutely sick Colorado Sand Car at Silver Lake !!!!

[Xcalibur]

Im sure you locals have seen this bad boy cruising around this year already.....but i bet you did't get a ride in it !!! Ive never had such a thrill in my life doing 12 o' clock wheelies up and DOWN test hill, yes wheelie-ing back DOWN !!!! Nasty !!!! She had the new LS3 6.2 L with the VVTI cam, 526 hp all the way to 7000 rpm !!!

this is Bob's same guy with the Tompro turbo hayabusa car posted last year.......

I was there all three days and the only wheelies I saw it do were off the tops of dunes. Not up nor down the hill. I was there at least six and usually 8 hours or more each day. Most of it near Test.

yeah he said he could only open it up early in the morning with no traffic..... we were 1st in with him at 9 am saturday..... believe me we were dragging that rear skid under the engine more than the front tires were on the ground.... blake rode shotty i hopped in the back.....

[Xcalibur]

we got the HELL ride.....bitchin !!!! i've never hit 75 mph over the 3' rollers in the flats on the southwest side DAMN !!!

No pics.....? Of it doing a nose high wheelie.

I have seen it there many times when there was no traffic. Still not with the front tires lofted much. Not under motor power alone. I have seen that car out there no less than 20 times.

Hes trying to sell it (or he was). I also know from a person he dunes with why he wanted too.

Maybe he had a different engine in it and this is a new to the car engine but without some video.

Plenty of others doing long wheelies all day. There is alwasy someplace open enough to do them.

I'll admit the car is fast. But its not as fast as he wants it.

kinda hard to take pics while leaning back 80 degrees !!! car was very well built and chassis handled very well to abuse it was being put through......yes he does have it for sale at a cool $65,000 but he said this was the best rail he has owned out of 6 big cars and the tompro !! and oh yeah did you get a ride..............NO

[nutz4sand]

lol He was selling it for $49,500.00 first off. Did I get a ride. Nope. Do I care NOPE. But I know an exaggeration when I see one and your laying it on again.

A person he dunes with ALL THE TIME told me he wants to sell it CAUSE IT WON'T WHEELIE! (Like he wants it to with just throttle!)

He also claimed more horsepower than you did when he advertised it before. So is the power dropping as the motor wears out? Or is it just being more realistic as it goes?

Basically I posted my first post due to the "exaggeration".

You may not be able to get a good shot from inside it but your the only one who got a ride with a wheelie all the time (cough cough). (In a buggy that struggles to wheelie I might add)

No one else got a wheelie you could get a shot/video of..... Hmmmmm interesting.

By he way nearly ANY of the nicer sandcar guys will give a person a ride if you put on puppy dog eyes enough. Its not that hard to get one. Despite what you make it out to be.

[Xcalibur]

dude, settle down..... i think youre thinking of a different rail
this thing only weighs 2200 lbs....

[nutz4sand]

lol I am settled down and no I am talking about this one and very same rail. I know Bob from the dunes.

I was there last year when he broke the gearbox on that Tom Pro unit. I won't say we are friend or buddies. But I know who he is.
