Off Road Desert Racing

Wish i could go out to watch that race. Been too long since i've seen live racing. Have fun!
I took this shot in Nov 2012 in San Felipe, before the Baja 1000.

 

Congrats to having a great dad to race with!

We have posted about Baja races in the Off Road forum here, but it is a sport, so this could be fine too.

I was a codriver in the '79 Baja 1000 (Class 6) and pitted many times in the 70's and 80's... and most recently in 2006 for Baja Pits at the 500 and 1000 that year.

Our son is co-driver and mechanic for Mattox racing (BITD Class 1500/ Score Class 1) and works on race trucks and buggies daily at Stewart's Raceworks in Santee. So we keep close to the sport... Had fun in Baja last year with Cameron Steele and the Desert Assassins Trail of Missions TV special...

Anyway, be very thankful your dad thinks so much of you, that is priceless!

 

For any of you VW fans, we just made it in the April issue of Hot VWS magazine!

 

That's awesome. Racing has always been a family sport for me. Will you guys be racing the Mint this year? We are leaving tonight! Pretty stoked!

 

Congrats!

Check out the Gentlemen's experience at the Mint 400 in our class 11! Those guys were so rad to hang out with in Vegas. We are featured at around 2:30.

 

Thanks for the video...
Our son in a (blue) Class 15 (co-driving lap 1) car that finished all three laps... was captured on video passing Robert Acer's trophy truck in lap 1... very cool!
Have a look at the short clip on Facebook video: (click on this image)

 

That's so rad! Good job to him! R.Acer is a awesome dude. I am glad to see him still in the offroad world. I have met him a few times, and he is a genuine guy with a big heart for people.

 

Its that time of year again...

BAJA 1000

and sadly this is the first in the last 5 years I am not actually going. I am bummed to say the least. Looks like it will be a great race again.









None of these pictures are mine.

 

I want to go down and watch the baja 1000 one of these years. Looks like a good time!

 

Do it! All my non race friends are always against it. Saying things like, have fun getting shanked and having diarrhea. I get some people will never understand the awesomeness of Baja. I have met so many amazing people along our adventures, and only a handful of interesting or sketchy people, which will happen anywhere you go. Baja just has so much to offer!

 

Used to race my motorcycles way back in Colorado, closed circuit street courses. Totally miss it, always have. Racing is so much fun, the speed, action in the pits, friends and traveling is all part of it, soooo cool. Great Dad, way to go.

 

Yeah some messed up stuff happens often in that country. . Still want to go though

 

Some messed up stuff happens more in this country, everyday... according to our local TV news stations. Does that prevent anyone from going on with life in the USA? Baja California is a facinating place and I would never let gossip stop my freedom to enjoy that land.

 

I never said it would!

 

I am apart of the Women of Off Road 2016 Calendar! Go buy one, they are almost all sold out! Proceeds go to help breast cancer patients. www.indianajoans.com/calendar

 

Paige Sohren and Jessi Combs crash at the 1000. Everyone was ok, they ended up finishing the race and getting 2nd in their class!

 

off topic, but @KayStrait feel free to hit me up for your next set of promo shots...

i miss being at the races with the crew... hoping to be back out one day soon...
