Southern California dune season is right around the corner and the traditional start to the season is kicked off at the annual Sand Sports Super Show. This year's show was held on September 17, 18 & 19, 2010 and it was the 12th annual show.
In this tough economy, it was great to see a solid turnout for exhibitors and even more than that, the number of people crowding the Orange County Fairgrounds was quite impressive. Everyone I talked to said sales were better than expected. Let's hope we are now on the upswing and better times are ahead of us.
The UTV market segment continues to grow. With the Can-Am Commander being the the newest side x side on the market, I was hoping to see lots of new products on display. Unfortunately, they were just starting to hit dealers showrooms when the show started, and only a few aftermarket companies were able to get their hands on a unit with enough time to build something. On the short list were DragonFire Racing and Todd's Custom Billet. Both of their Commander's sported roll cages, bumpers and long travel suspension. I had my demo Commander 1000 XT in our booth and it had a new Muzzys dual exhaust, Axia Alloys mirrors and paddle tires from Fullerton Sand Sports mounted on OMF Performance billet center beadlock wheels. I expect that in just a few more months, the market will be flooded with new Can-Am Commander products. It will be an exciting dune season to have a Commander.
