baja 1000 helo crash goes into FULL DRAMA MODE

as mentioned at the 40th running of the baja 1000 last week a helo crashed into powerlines w/a couple of dead , and a coupla serious injuries on ground from rotors hitting spectators.

as evidenced is uncovered, one of the entries for warrior motorsports #133(a "1" car-unlimited engine/suspension) was an infamous druglord from the felix-arellano cartel. this guy was ID'd at the ensenada morgue.

while he lay in repose in the mortuary FIFTY(50) ARMED MEN converged on mortuary in a dozen(12) SUV's and kidnapped two(2) mortuary workers and grabbed his body.

they left out of ensenada on rural road headed towards tecate. cartel met two(2) ensenada police in cruiser. two(2) police officers found dead!

will attempt pics of crash again.

ONLY IN BAJA!

CGI ERROR AGAIN ON PICS.

go to you tube and type baja 1000 helicopter crash 2007.

note this clowns AGL in feet above racecourse!!!!!!

another interesting note is the impact this stunt may cause for SCOREOFFROAD, and any future races. big buck winning teams depend on helo and fixed wing support.

with the main powerline going down btwn ensenada and san flippy, this became a very OBVIOUS BIG DEAL to those who live and work in san felipe. but with the further developments, its gone over the top as far as bizzarre.

since most of you have never been to mexico, cant speak the language, nor order anything beyond a taco in taco bell, this may not seem anything at all.

but when you start looking at the ramifications of a U.S. helicopter leased to a drug cartel, kidnapping,murder,etc. it sheds an entire different light on civilian aviation in a foreign country. already flight is limited to daylight hours ONLY! for fixed wing or helos. or risk being shot down by..........

PICK JUAN:

1) federales(fair amt. of firepower-depends on alliance and payoff)

2)polizia(if they have the firepower-depends on alliance and payoff)

3) militars(and they got muy mongo firepower-and they just shoot every juan and everything)

all fuel at any aeropuerto must be signed off to "N" number on fixed wing or helo tail. ie. if theres a 1000 gallons of av. gas at airport and plane comes in for fuel and takes 500 gallons..............there better be 500 gallons left in ground tanks(militars check weekly) and 500 gallons taken on by aircraft. old days we could hit a multitude of aeropuertos for bikes buggies trucks fuel pre running or on race day. those days are over. as well as numerous dirt strips dug up and or raised berms built to STOP a landing. really really BIG BERMS!

a few guys here at this aeropuerto fly down to loreto for unreal fishing thruout the year and all of us are wondering what will happen after this fiasco. its a real blackeye to score racing that this happened.

believe it or not mexico as a country IS trying to clean up its past tarnished image. as evidenced by all firearms confiscated from tijuana and ensenada polizia for ballistic tests to see if any of their firearms where used in any unsolved murders. by the way NONE where found guilty and they were returned to the loyal officers who are paid dirt to fight heavily armed narco-traffikers.

the allure of big bucks and pretty women and lots of cash wears off real quickly when dead bodies are found all over the southwest and the various mexican states. it aint like the "smugglers blues " song by glenn frey or "tree top flyer" by stephen stills. its an ugly dangerous part of the southwest, be it in the u.s. or in mexico. since i know a recently retired ICE officer who worked from san diego to texas flying helos, the stories you hear and the incidents that go unreported are beyond belief.

if you want to see it change, then honestly we have to shut our borders and get this immigration thing solved.

when camping in jamu w/my son we met a huge mexican family from san diego and tijuana. outstanding people who would give the shirt off their backs to ya. even with family members living in tecate and TJ sitting right with us, both groups, legal U.S. citizens and mexican nationals felt the border problems is the number one priority that has to be addressed. the mexican national members come across and work for the u.s. family biz on our side of border. they have no problem with whats coming up with our immigration reform. they see an influx of people coming from central mexico and below mexico(honduras/guatemala/etc.) as being the desperate ones who seem to pull alot of stunts on honest working folk and cause problems here in the u.s. when they get here. be it drug runners with guns or coyotes bringing immigrants in, it all involves money and guns and thats a really bad combination for all involved.

So, the helicopter crashed onto the druglord's race buggy?
Was the point of the morgue rescue to obscure the identity of the speedy entrepreneur? The video skips the crash.

no the helo DID NOT crash into druglords vehicle or anybodys.

i imagine the morgue rescue was..........."BECAUSE THEY CAN!" he was already ID'd even before he made morgue in ensenada. watched militars /polezia/federales pull blue tarps off and start ID process.

So how did the drug lords body end up in the morgue? Did it have anything at all to do with the race or the helo crash?

i imagine the ambulance drove his corpse to the morgue. the druglord was in the chopper. he had been in the class 1 car #133. warrior motorsports. they had changed drivers and /or co-drivers prior to helo crash. still no word on how they finished, if #133 finished, or where in the hell car #133 is.

the latest scuttlebutt is mexican government is charging sal fish owner/el prezidente of SCORE INTL. with 2nd degree murder.

needless to say everyjuan in the off road community head is reeling.

i still cant post pics . kind of half hearted working on that when i have some time.
