Well NABX was a good year for me again. On Wed march 31 I broke my previous top speed of 58 mph and hit 65.7mph in 30mph winds with a jojo rm+ 2.5 m on 25m lines in my Libre Hardcore (no weights). I think next year I am going to need a weight set for my buggy so I can go even faster.

I had not buggied in almost a year and it is like riding a bike, you get right back into it.

good job!

It was blowing nasty on wed. hooj ballz to you for even going out in that.

You must update Popeye!

Way to go Dagon ! Still in the top rung of speed runners even with so many moving up.

Wow, that's awesome Dagon! I didn't know you hit such a high speed. I moved my top speed up by 10 mph to 45.1 but the lake surface was so different to everything I've ever been on. My learning curve those 3 days was almost vertical. The buggy rolls so easily and the kites feed so much more from apparent wind. I'll be happy to bust 50-55 next year with some smaller/higher performance kites. I want a couple speedy kites in the 2.5- 3.5m range.

Congrats reaching up to that highest level of buggy speeds.

It was quite the pleasure to finally get to meet you face to face bud. We need to get together again before NABX 2011.

Bloody awesome guys well done, I have already updated the records...I trust you will either send me or post your GPS's...btw...GPS photos with the pilots face in the shot guarantees being included

Worlds Top Buggy Speeds

i got my eyes on that world record beach/sand..... :evil:

Yes, popeye I plan on sending you the photo tonight, this one even has my face in it.

Dagon that is screaming. Congrats on your new record.

Wow... awesome speed congrats! :bigok:

I had a feeling that the wind would popup later in the afternoon. I was driving back in huge winds all the way down 15 and up 5. It's blowing like there's no tomorrow here in oregon too (just walked in the door)!

I set a personal record, playa helps, with my rage 2.5 at 35.8, not sure what the winds were doing at the time, low-mid 20's is my guess. almost broke my record on the wya back from the outback challenge when a big gust came in but before I could build anything off of it I chose to skid and head up wind and only hit 34

Congratulations - well earned. The sad part is that beach riding will be like walking to you now.

Wow. That's fast. Soil the skirt fast if it were on any surface other than the playa. Thanks to this thread I forced myself to do the kmh->mph conversion. That makes my personal best 40.3mph! Sounds impressive but nothing like 60+!!!

Good luck with that....Windjammer is a very good friend of mine, and I believe that record will take some beating, its a totally different kettle of fish from the DLB...best of luck dylan423

Best I ever did on sand was 50.1mph, and the winds were blowing at 40-50mph that day.

I was there that day....the wind was so strong I could barely land a 1.7 beamer it just kept powering up..even on brakes
