A friend posted this on Facebook after racing an old Funco in the Baja 1000.

Thanks to Bruce Myers (yes that Bruce) this is our ride for the 1000 mile drive home.

Is that cool or what!

For those of you who don't know, that is a new Kick-Out Traditional. Bruce says it has a "heathly" engine. Tell us what you think. Tom

Very cool ride. Since this Kick-Out has been done with an ''Old Red" theme to it. It would be great to see some pictures of it taken on parts of the old Baja off road route Bruce and "Old Red" traveled on back in the day.

A nicely done story and tribute to Bruce Meyers by Mr. Taylor.
Also I really enjoyed seeing and hearing about Bahia Concepcion and San Quintin two of my favorite Manx trips to Baja back in the day. Thanks for posting it desertwrx.

I wonder which of these San Quintin volcanos pictured in the background. Was the one that Bruce drove "Old Red" to the top of?
