Dumb question maybe, but how the hell aren’t they all blowing up their motors/destroying their turbos with all the dust/sand they must be sucking in?

Can’t watch the video at work, but the sand dunes are a bunch of fun on the West side on Michigan ([Silver Lake Sand Dunes](http://www.thinkdunes.com/sand-dunes-7/)). Only about 7 hrs from Buffalo. I have heard that they are the only dunes East of Utah where you are allowed to drive your vehicle on.  
Saw a couple setups that were claiming close to 1,000 hp ripping up the dunes.
