Trip Report
Glamis - January 2009
Our demo Polaris RZR S on top of China Wall
What a fantastic weekend at Glamis! The weather was
perfect, and the dunes were smooth for the first two days. I met up with
a few friends with sand cars and also hooked up with the Bailey family.
Steve and Jeff both have RZRs so it was awesome to ride around with a
few other similarly equipped UTVs.
I also learned that the Bailey's are big on hospitality.
Other than the Carne Asada I provided from Ramey's Meat, I was offered
incredible food left and right. No way to lose weight with the
Bailey's nearby!
I duned all weekend in our
Polaris RZR S demo. I
put 125 miles on it in three hard days of duning, and it ran flawlessly.
I put on a set of paddle tires, but other than that, the RZR S is
completely stock. I was very impressed with the RZR's out of the
box abilities.

In The Dunes:
Went on lots of rides with Steve (RZR S) and Jeff (RZR with long
travel). Several of the rides were led by sand cars (Mike & Jeff).
There were a few high speed areas that we fell a bit behind, but for
the most part we were right on their tails.

Mike led us on a
great ride from Pad 2 to the Flag Pole, China Wall and Lizard Hill.

I took Charlene from Side x Side
Action Magazine for a ride, and while at a stop, she snapped a few
action shots.

Glamis Cleanup:
Make sure your OHV is Registered!
This beautiful sand car was in the process of being impounded by the
Imperial County Sheriff because it was not registered and did not
have a VIN. I also saw them stop a Rhino, so it just isn't sand cars
they are looking at. If you are bringing in a UTV from a
different state, make sure you have the proper documentation.
