Dryest adventure in the world, The Atacama Raid
Hi friends, every summer; Chilean 4x4 lovers visit the Atacama desert to enjoy driving by the sand dunes of the driest desert in the world (without rainfalls for more than 80 years).
More than 500 vehicles arrives to the city of Copiapo (it's a world guinnes record) the second part of january to be part of this four day trip. This is not a race. And this year it will be my first time (afther 8 years participating) as a driver, of course I'll go in my 93 K5. To explain you beter, here its a video... the first minutes are from sponsors, so just jump to the action. Hope you enjoy it!!! http://vimeo.com/8047379 |

yeah, but that sand has got to be worse on your truck than any sludge filled puddle ever would. but you're right cbr, it does look like fun though.

I would buy the best air filter on the market before running in this lol

LOL... I'd use a vacuum bag as an air filter I think.
