Blaster44, you are probably right! That would be one hell of a ride from the Waynoka campgrounds on my Raptor ~ now wouldn't?!

Oh yeah, I'm sure there is a hill that everyone races up at Lil Sahara...where is it located? I'm sure they have maps of the dunes don't they? Even though it wouldn't point out these types of features.

eRaptoid, The dragstrip is just outside the gate at the south campground & Buttercup is Just outside the gate at the north campground. Most of the good bowls & hills are located around Buttercup.

There is always some good jumping hills just have a spotter at the top because there is always people around even during the week. There is not really an off weekend anymore.

This time of year be careful going out the first time each day, we get a lot of wind & the dunes can change overnight so watch the backsides of dunes for dropoffs. The dunes can grow 10ft or more on a windy night & the sand at the top is very dry & powdery, tring to blast over the top of these can have a nasty surprise on the other side!

There is lots of good dunes with trees to go around while climbing at least I think turning hill climb in to a road course is fun, lots of S turn climbs.

STAY OUT of the out of bounds areas they can take your quads if your caught!!

Look for Surveyors ribbon at tool stores, It's tough, won't fade in the sun & $2 for 50ft

thats a sweet idea, go to the people that say you gotta have a flag, and tell them that when you get a flag, ask them if theyre from a forum, so they can get an orange flag.
