Stellar Performance Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 First and foremost....BE CAREFULL. A friend of mine used to race the Baja Series. He was always getting injured due to the incompetance of others. And with Buggies, Trunks and everything else out there....I'm sure it can get pretty knarly!!! Quote
jamebo Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 +1 Definitely a dangerous race. Those trophy trucks are barreling through there wide open pedal to the floor. Be careful, and good luck with the race man. Quote
desertdeweller Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 the trucks and buggies aren`t much to worry about the racers respect each other fairly well. The thing to watch out for is the boobie traps set up by tree huggers and by the mexican fans. They tend to set up man made obstacles sometimes to catch riders and drivers off guard. sometimes its just jumps or mud holes that weren`t there for the prerun. We did a race down by rocky point one part of the track ran under a railroad bridge. The night before the race they bricked off the end of the bridge so somebody would get hurt. The promoter had somebody prerun the coarse that morning and found it. They can`t do that on a 1000 mile course. So yea have a good safe race and I wish I was going some day I will. Quote

I have chased for a front line team in the race and I just about died a few times.............. and I wasn't even racing. The desert tends to fool with you at night. Quote
