Kimberlee and Dave Rubio took delivery of the ASA 2026 Polaris Off Road RZR Pro R raffle car on Saturday Oct. 17, 2026. The Southern California couple bought their winning ticket at the Sand Show on Saturday, just one day before the drawing. Longtime ASA supporters, they buy a ticket every year along with a season pass. Congratulations, Dave and Kim!
And yes! They get both sets of tires, sand and off-road.
A hearty thank-you to our 2026 raffle sponsors: POLARIS, DRT Motorsports, Rugged Radios, Act-Med Info, Sand Tires Unlimited (STU), OMF Performance Products, JD Design Co., and WhipTech LED Lighting Technology. Your support helps make the raffle possible.
Everyone’s support helps keep ASA fighting for open dunes.

BE DUNE SMART. KEEP OUR DUNES OPEN!

The American Sand Association is proud to introduce our refreshed DUNE SMART educational initiative — helping everyone enjoy the dunes safely, responsibly, and with respect for the public lands we love. By following our Dune Smart guidelines, we can help ensure a duning future for all who love sand sports.

Dune Smart is built around four simple pillars:

✅ RIDE SAFE — Know your machine, use proper safety equipment, and watch out for others.

❤️ RESPECT THE DUNES — Respect fellow recreationists, wildlife, and the land. Leave it better than you found it.

📋 KNOW THE RULES — Know before you go! Understanding the rules makes for better, safer adventures.

🔓 PROTECT OUR ACCESS — Every responsible choice helps preserve our freedom to ride for future generations.

We've launched a new Dune Smart webpage, complete with a video and practical messages every duner should know.

👉 Check it out: https://americansandassociation.org/dune-smart/

Ride Safe. Respect the Dunes. Know the Rules. Protect Our Access.

And remember, keeping our dunes open takes all of us. Join ASA and be part of the team protecting sand sports!

HOW MUCH OF THE IMPERIAL DUNES WOULD BE OPEN WITHOUT ASA?

BOTTOM LINE: NOT MUCH!

The dunes you ride today didn't stay open by accident! Behind those wide-open riding areas are decades of legal battles, millions of dollars raised, thousands of volunteer hours, and a whole lot of determined people who refused to give up.

In our latest DYK #59, we take you back through some of the history of threatened closures, endangered species battles, court decisions, and the relentless efforts of ASA and its partners to protect your riding opportunities.

If you've ever wondered what ASA actually does for duners, THIS IS A STORY YOU NEED TO READ!

And remember, keeping the dunes open isn't just about yesterday's victories. It's about tomorrow's battles, too.

Read DYK #59 and see why your support matters! https://americansandassociation.org/isdra-without-asa/

Without ASA’s participation at the table and in court, the interim closures at Imperial Dunes could have become permanent across a much larger area. ASA helped secure a plan that reopened 40,000 acres to recreation.

Kimberley and Shelly didn’t have to be present to win —and they weren't — so we don’t have that great “handing over the keys” photo to share just yet. But that certainly isn’t going to stop us from celebrating!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who purchased tickets, supported the raffle, and helped make this year’s giveaway such a success. Your support helps the American Sand Association continue working to protect access and keep our dunes open for responsible recreation.
