ON THE COVER: Brad Belvedere’s Dominator LT5 from Sand Rail Fabricators looks pristine as it powerslides on the side of a soft dune in Glamis. INSET: This issue we have several ATV features for our readers,
including a first look at the new Yamaha Raptor 350. If you’re a motor-head and you can’t get enough V8s
in your sand diet, you’ll like that ZZ4 motor which is from the “Explosive” feature on Extreme Fab’s cars on
page 46. Photos by Michael Sommer and Yamaha. THIS PAGE: Frank Hoppen snapped this pic during a
recent trip to Pismo’s Oceano Dunes, which proves that Sand Sports always takes you close to the action.
