Pictures from the 1999 America's Cup Meet and the 1999 Spring Break Buggy Blast both at Ivanpah Dry Lake Bed at Primm, Nevada. All images link to larger versions.

Important Note: Most of these photos were taken on the same day as the Ozarks' 14" snowfall of 1999! Don't worry, though, we only received minor sunburns.

Chip sailing a Manta Twinjammer. He has a distinct advantage since he is a water sailor, so he took to it like a...well...fish to water. Corey of Wind Power Sports notes that people often can't tell when he's having a conversation about sailing on dirt when they overhear a landsailors' conversation.
