Last weekend was the 2026 Vegas to Reno desert race. I have always supported racing as a co-driver, and now as a volunteer. Like blasting, off-road racing is an extreme activity that provides many lessons to learn from. These lessons are incorporated into our training so blasters, as well as blasting and mining companies can have every advantage possible.

Our next two-day Blaster Bootcamp training class is October 9-10, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. It is filling up quickly, so let us know if you would like to attend.

These photos are from Amargosa Valley, Nevada during a sandstorm. I was helping recover stuck racers in a silt bed until 4 AM.
