T-MINUS 45 minutes until start OF THE BAJA MIL(1000)
yepper about ready to wet my pants on this years BOOFOONARY!
630amPST bikes and quads start. 1130am trophy trucks and the rest of the entire gaggle of nutcases leave starting line for a 1072 mile excursion INTO HELL! the granddaddy, the mucho grande enchilada all the way to la paz. you have a few choices due to techno advances in live action. bfg tires has a setup as well as general tires and racedezert.com also bajasafari. or just look up 2010 baja 1000 live coverage. my buddy from san felipe is in an "11" car this year, instead of a "1" car. my other amigoes(geiserbros) will be in one of several trophy trucks and supporting all the way to the finish. and for those of you "tat-freaks" look for jesse james in the geiser built trophy truck "i'm a lawyer" sponsored by TMZ! we cant wait to see how far ol jesse gets before biting the big JUAN! odds on him are 99-1 to finish! man i wish i was there right now. talk about getting caught up with RACE FEVER!

The Baja is a case for the quote "Different strokes for different folks"
It might be fun for an hour but it would be torture to run the entire thing. But that is just my opinion, I could be wrong, but I am almost never wrong.

p.s. for you F.N.G.'s.....................a CLASS 11 is a BONE STOCK VW BUG!
the only items added are safety items as per SCORE rules. watch car #1102 beat the snot out of 1/2 mill-yon, 3/4 MILL-YON DOLLAR vehicles! why? all they gots to do is freeking finish! they may be slowwwwwwwwwww............but these guys have their ducks in a row and have done this for 30+ years and know the course like the back of their hands. its ALL ABOUT THE PRE-RUNNING!

i would give my left and right HUEVOS to be in any class except bikes and quads. uber modified or stock classes. there is NOTHING BETTER than doing a 125MPH+(my class 8 truck-on GPS) plus along the diablo dry lake bed FOR MILES! like see the curvature of the freeking EARTH MILES! sure its a lil dusty and bumpy. but hey maybe you need to take a stroll over to wam-bee pam-beee land and tell us how its done there! the biggest finishers: class 5's class 1/2-1600's stock 4wd's class 11's torture? YOU dont know what FUN IS! and if yer really good.....................you dont have to wooo-rry about DUST............cuz yer in the FRONT! but hey WTF do i know about FUN!

in college i had the opp to meet with Ivan Stewart. very cool man. we picked him up at the airport, when he was the MC at my college's MINI BAJA competition. my team's captain had a "bromance" with him and painted our car Stewart's signature colors. i told him it would come off like we are sucking butt, and i was right.
he asked, "who chose the colors? my friend pointed at team captain and said, "huh, your biggest fan over there" ivan replied, "ok, i wont turn my back on him.." team captain was mildly amused. cool man, and his race stories were amazing. i did ask how he pissed on his solo races..he worked the very same story into his opening MC speech. btw, my team came in 16th overall. team captain was a mech eng..and the 3 of us were civil eng. the mech eng dept got egg on their face. they didnt support our team and dumped all their resources into a full ME team...ironically HALLIBURTON funded our team. (i still have my halliburton jumpsuit that my wife. loooovvesss). the full ME team built a turd...it broke rolling out of the garage, to get into the race..hahahahah.

have personally met and sat down numerous times with cold cervezas with ivan in baja and in las vegas.
he is running this year in a toyota 4 runner. years ago when toyota racing development decided to put ivan in the middle of the cab and "make" the exterior body panels look "stock", toyota sales of trucks went thru the stratosphere. having pitted for team honda 2 years while under the supervision of bruce olgilvie(RIP) and "donavan" head of all honda desert racing we had the opportunity to be treated wined and dined like kings by team honda and understand their evil DOMINATION of all thangs off road. why in hells name does the full race "xr's" and now "crf's" look exactly like a bike on the showroom despite being totally "UNOBTANIUM" for the average smuck? because idiots who are clueless think they too can win baja with the bike they buy from the freeking showroom. unbeknownst to the average smuck, honda factory bikes are total titanium works of art, that as soon as the race is over and go back to torrance calif, they are torn down,studied, analyzed, and then shoved into a CRUSHER and the parts spread to high hell so the competition never knows what went into them. the other reason honda is always winning...............they have an entire BOX VAN with (2) complete bikes and all spares, and a mill and a lathe,welder etc at every pitstop spread 40-50 miles away. we were graced with pit duties at MELLING RANCH and you couldnt ask for a better paradise instead of being stuck in some god fersaken POO HOLE ELSEWHERE! the reason 40-50 miles is they dont have to use 5 gal dezert tanks which are an absolute nightmare to make a bike handle in the sand and whoops with that much weight. ford is introducing their new eco-boost engine this 1000. alot of testing goes on by mfgs. obvious and not so obvious. usually the BIG THREE(chev ferd,dodge) introduce new body styles or engines at these races for the marketing gains which are HUGE despite all of us knowing what you buy off the showroom aint nothing the same as what actually went to baja and actually raced.
