I have done a lot of RACING on sand,,,

even though it wasnt in a 4wd,, the principles are still the same,

no wheelspin, no problem,

wheelspin with no tread,, no problem,

wheelspin with tread,, dig own grave,,,,

Ah..... that's better

I draw a sharp breath on seeing TV commercials selling the lesser 4wd being driven down sand dunes at roll over angles 8O

Its no wonder that some people get into trouble on their first day at the beach. They should stay on the black stuff and swim between the flags. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

Yes it is and I'll defend their right to do it largely in the knowledge that they won't or can't. :wink:

I enjoyed the article BB, thanks.
The closest thing we have to sand driving down here (Southern Vic) is loose soil or loam. I have come across patches of this loose 'stuff' at the most inopportune times. Usually coming down a steep hill, with tight forrestation, at a bend in the track. The soil builds up on the outer edge and when the front tyres hit it, well lets say its 'interesting'. 8O
The tracks are closed during the winter months and the wind and rain cause many changes by the time they open for the next season, so its 'fun' all over again...

Look forward to more.
