Us local yocals call it Gorman because that's the town where it's located. It's technical name is Hungry Valley SVRA.

I can't count how many times I've been there! Damn near destroyed a brand new LT250R on one of the trails when it rolled over backwards on me!

Here is a link to the CA.gov web site.

I like to refer to mine as an addiction. I've contemplated pulling mine apart several times and completely restoring it but then I would be afraid to scratch it. I'll just keep riding it and doing little things here and there.

Hi Cruz. I did make it to Gorman last Sat. the 28th. I finally got some ride time in my newly refurbished Pilot and im happy to report the break-in went smooth. It was a good thing i went this weekend because now Gorman is closed til the idiots in Washington figure out the budget mess they got us into. Sucks!

Hi shouba. Very hard to say if i can make it to any sand trip. First off, i don't have any sand tires for either of my buggies. Secondly, my wife and i wrk every other weekend so it takes some planning to wrk out all the logistics to get a weekend off. That being said, a trip to a sand park is in the future.

I would suggest doing pre-filter mods with K&N filters as your pre-filter and keep the UNI in the box.
