tundra finishes baja 1000

not sure if this is already up here, just say it posted on a heep forum today;

http://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/full-stock-toyota-tundra-actually-did-alright-in-the-ba-1660643871/

pretty impressive!

 

At least someone finally posted something about a Toyota instead of a Colorado in this section today!

Cool article. That would be one grueling race.

 

Wonder what he hit to gouge the shit out of the door and box like that? Damn

 

ya, doesn't seem to be a tundra area on this forum, so figured this was the best place to put this

 

Here is another option of where to add this story (2014 Baja 1000 map): http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/off-roading-trails/347239-2014-baja-1000-map.html

 

finished 69th out of 131

 

It won... all Baja races are among others in the same class... so several classes (based on vehicle type, etc.) make for several wins.

 

Out of 3 entries, and one of those had a DNF

 

You must be a Jalopnick follower. 131 FINISHERS - Do you realize that most end the race far before the finish line. We finished before a good number of Trophy Trucks.

4 entries - Us, the Lexus dressed up like a Toyota, the Rod Hall H1 and a Ford F150.

 

It was in the correct class: •Stock Full – Veh #8100-8199 (Stock full-sized trucks)

 

yeah out of the 131 finishers, I know most will never even get that far.

I thought the article listed the Tundra, a Ford and a Hummer that didn't make it, I never saw the Lexus.

is there any video of it running at speed, I'm kinda curious to see how it did, and I can't believe the average speed difference from the tundra to the race winner. The winner must have been one hell of a beast

 

There are lots of videos... go to the SCORE Facebook page as well as some of the winners pages. Remember the average speed includes stops, breakdowns, etc. The clock starts when you leave Ensenada and runs until you reach the finish or you exceed the max allowable time... that earns you a DNF.
