eddie 0 Posted January 26, 2012 2 maniacs from SDBMW ran a Ural on the B-V section of LA-B-V in November. One of them, Edward, is planning on taking the Ural to the Dash. He's doing a little desert run this Saturday, 28-Jan, including the Sqeeze, Drop Off, etc. ALL ARE WELCOME How could ANYONE miss this? Here's an email on the action : Just a reminder to let people know that this Saturday we will be taking the Ural out to run a few Desert Dash routes to see what if any modifications we may need before we do the AMA37 DD next month. We will have the race Support rig at Butter field Ranch park later Friday afternoon and we will start out on the pre-run saturday morning a little after 0900 hours. We will spend the day in the dirt and some pavement, and plan on returning in the late afternoon for some refreshments and reflection on how the day went. We may even have a small campfire with the local favorite de-brief libations (I may even make a few of my infamous MM Old Fashions or my much sought after Manhattan Rocks). Depending on how Saturday goes --we may also do a Sunday morning pre run to a few other locations as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteelRain 0 Posted January 26, 2012 The DD is not this weekend. This is the DD course, but not the DD. That said, I would love be out there wit the GSA (slower pace so I am not holding anyone up). But I am in LA until Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Czechsix 1 Posted January 26, 2012 Yep, but they did imply that the Ural will be doing the DD...and that'd be entertaining to be around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddie 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Sorry if I caused any confusion. Of COURSE it's not the Dash. Edward is taking that 3 wheeled pig on a pre-run of some of the roads to see what breaks off. My bets: He'll bounce down The Squeeze, 35% chance at getting up The Steps Barrel roll down the Drop Off He'll need a tow rope and either a winch or 11 men to get up Fairchild. The DD is not this weekend. This is the DD course, but not the DD. That said, I would love be out there wit the GSA (slower pace so I am not holding anyone up). But I am in LA until Monday.

eddie 0 Posted January 27, 2012 No implying here. They DEFINITELY plan on doing the Dash in that thing. Yep, but they did imply that the Ural will be doing the DD...and that'd be entertaining to be around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strega 0 Posted January 27, 2012 I was at SD BMW checking out the Ural and spoke to Ed and wished them well, hehe. I remember them coming through the GPS line at LAB2V and thought they were nuts! But hey, awesome they did it!! Made me want to buy one It can be 2wd, has reverse, and plenty of storage!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
