In October 2008, Sand Addiction Magazine and SideXSide Action Magazine co-hosted the Sand Addiction Dune Tour at Gordon’s Well in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area (ISDRA). This event brought together off-road enthusiasts for a weekend of dune riding, product demonstrations, and community engagement. A highlight of the gathering was the premiere of “UTV Mayhem II,” showcased in a drive-in style setting where attendees could watch from their side-by-sides, quads, or buggies.

After the Santa Ana winds earlier in the week, the dunes are pristine.
Blake from UTV Mayhem and I went to check out the progress of the new border fence. Blake wasn’t too happy about driving on concrete with his paddle tires.
I have been testing out a 2009 Polaris RZR S for a future article in Sand Addiction Magazine. For a stock UTV, the RZR S is a real performer in the dunes.
Hanging out in Patton Valley with some of the guys from RhinoTalk.net. Max Powers let me take his Rotax powered Yamaha Rhino for a spin.
Predator Motor Corporation was out with their X-18 Intimidator sand car. I was lucky enough to take one for a drive. Look for a full review on DuneGuide.com and an article in Sand Addiction Magazine.
This poor guy ended up in the canal by the start of the sand drags. Desert Recovery fished the car out of the canal after a few days.
This Arctic Cat Prowler had a turbocharged Rotax in it and was hauling the mail at Test Hill.
