I got an invite to go to Baja next month to help with a class 12 car, and was just wondering if anyone else is going to be down there.

My son Warren will be down there with the AGS 5-16 Baja Bug.

Hi,
My wife and I will be there chasing for a Pro Moto 50 team, great to see the large number of entries for the 50th.

Well Warren and the AGS Team took 2nd place in 5-1600. They led for over 300 miles, then got passed while stuck in the silt for a couple of hours.
Congrats to the Avina team that won.
Warren got home last night. Lots of stories.  Certainly an adventure that will be remembered for a lifetime.

We had some trouble early on and lost 5 or 6 hours, then ran great till we lost the clutch at RM 605. Out spare clutch was already at Lareto, and we just didn't have time to get the new clutch in and finish the race in time.
It's quite an experience. I've been to the Norra race twice and Score once.
The Score race is definitely harder on the crew! |
