Don't run your head light as it will be likly to be smashed by a rock off the two wheelers but run your tail light because people comming up on you in the dust will see you better. Thats what i'm doing

All quad riders that are going should be on the look out for the 47 industries crew who are shooting for the 3rd movie up there and also keep an eye out for me as I'll be looking to get some good shots for the qrcv site.

If your doing the club stops you will need 3 20L jerrys and a 10L leave the 20s at the fuel stops and take the 10 to finke and you will have enough fuel for both days
