As promised, heres the link. I apologize for the quality. I uploaded it from the beach so I couldn't use HD considering I don't have wifi. I have about 10 minutes of video and will put it into one video and re-upload. There was a ton of wind, so you may wanna creep the volume up. This video is no where near the amount of badasserey that the sand talon musters in a six second span. But It was fun. Never the less, here's the video.

Again, this was the most fun I have had with my car in the entire history that I have owned it. Hope you enjoy it.

Dyna-pack. It did a 12.19 at 118. So I feel it's pretty close. Obviously it's a little lower than the readout. Still fun, though.

Not that I plan to do it with mine, but I was always curious about Evos going to the dunes.

Seeing how I work in insurance (and talk about it all the time), I've been trying to communicate with some underwriters to see if they will insure an Evo as a street-legal off-road vehicle so you'd have coverage in these kinds of situations, which is the same kind of policies that are used for street-legal dune buggies and sand rails.

Looks like a blast man! Ever try taking it in the mud or anything? That's so much fun man, if not give it a try! If you liked this then you will for sure going down in a muddy canal or something. Get's super dirty though!!!

Like I said, I had to cruise back to Fresno to take care of my business, but I'll be heading back to pismo on Thursday night. I'll have my video camera as well. Wasn't really prepared for it last time. Didn't think I'd have the ***** to take it out. Haha.
That was me You're welcome and I am glad I could help.
