Yup...there is still a bit of sand on the streets here Frank.
I know as I have hammered it a couple times now where I've seen clouds of dust being blown off the road behind me. Also to note, those skinny tires are skating around underneath me as the back end has been dancing on more than one occasion. That surely kicks up some spring time dust and gravel along the sides of the road so I am sure. All that being said, I did build it to be driven...and driving it I am.
Life is short...gotta get out and own some!
