Mint 400 ! 2008!

the MINT 400 will be run 3/27/08 thru 3/30/08.

go to MINT 400 .com for further info.

wouldnt miss this "woodstock in the dez" for nothing!


something about this race just brought everyone out of the woodwork.

each off road race has its own personality. logistics/language/location/terrain etc. but the MINT 400 brought out some of the most INSANE vehicles i have ever seen race offroad. the V-12 FERRARI rail comes to mind from years back. and on and on. more goofyness than you can stand!


will never forget first time i saw the crowd of people at the APEX RR crossing!

un ******* real!

2008 IS ALREADY GONNA BE GREAT! dont miss this juan. perfect for families. mommy and kids stay in a/c casino while big daddy raises hell in the dez all day into the night!

"As your attorney I must advise you that
you'll need a very fast car with no top
and after that, the cocaine.
And then the tape recorder, for special music,
and some Acapulco shirts...
This blows my weekend,
because naturally I'll have to go with you
and we'll have to arm ourselves, to the teeth"

LOTS OF FEAR AND LOATHING in las vegas for this one.


heres the deal............to pre run baja its expensive.

to pre run and RACE baja is very very very expensive.

to finish baja.............well you gotta be damn good and have some luck riding with you.

and if its a point to point year(ensenada to cabo) you have a hell of a LONG DRIVE back to states if you win. and an even LONGER ride back to states if you DNF'D!


sooooooooo...........las vegas being where its at.................EVERYONE and his brother builds something goofy praying on the win to make them rich.

kinda like the general feeling of most who live great distances from gambling. here in arizona with all the indian casinos and laughlin and vegas so close you cant swing a dead cat w/out hitting a crap table.


soooooooooooo. this breeds lots of one off ideas that shouldnt work and do. and those brilliant engineering designs that never even make it past the APEX RR crossing! this is were the V-12 ferrari buggy met its ultimate demise and has NEVER BEEN SEEN SINCE ANYWHERE or BY ANYONE!


plus you get movie-stars, wanna-be off road racers from other racing venues, and an incredible amount of never rans who think there damn good!

with that cast of characters and BIG BUCKS BET on the boards on every entry in every casino, YOU GET MASS MAYHEM!

and then add to that mass quanities of BEER.................you get added MORE MAYHEM!


i will have to be DEAD to MISS THIS!
