Most of my time in the desert has been spent up at Willow Springs. I'd love to get out and check out Glamis and Dumont some time.
My wife's dad is LA City Fire, so you can imagine that she's been out there playing with the toys for most of her childhood. The old boy used to run a Triumph TT500 in desert scrambles...
Wait a minute! I don't have any room in my garage for a CRF450!!!

Bearing buddy fell off and fried the bearing. It was 5:05 pm so all the shops were closed... My Boat US vessel assist hooked me up with "towing" which was pretty bad ass!

At that point we said, hey lets have them check the rest and slap some new tires on the gig. Chris had done the same for me... it was the least could do!

Once I get going on them, I'll start a new thread for each. The 24 is mostly going to be point and shoot, but there's some little things I'd like to do (sitdowns, rubber floor, new rear seat cushions, cabin tune up).
The 28, I'm going to finish prepping it to race but probably won't start messing with it until fall after I'm done with the 24. Ultimately, I'd really like to do the boat as a staggered small block boat with bravos. Maybe a pair of "mild" 600hp LSXs or SB2 motors. But I'm torn on whether I should getting running as is for now and make that move later, or just go for it, knowing that the boat will be down for a while if I go that route... We'll see. Both of them are really cool boats.
The 24 is actually the old Bad Temper race boat (according to Pepe) which was run a bit before the owner stepped up to the Bad Temper 28 with tripples.
