there is also a real live honest to gawd off road racey 911SC(i think sc) that is lime green that ran the NORRA 1000. do not know if he finished or DNF'd. looked to be very well sorted out. w/tail.


for those of you that dont know what the NORRA 1000 iz, its the venue for retired OLD SKOOL OFF ROAD RACEY CARS TRUCKS BUGGIES!


NORRA was the 1st venue wayy before SCORE to hold the 1st BAJA 1000 offroad races back in the 60's all the way down the peninsula.


james garner steve mcqueen and others, a real cast of characters.


the reason for NORRA is because techno advances in HP/SUSPENSION have leap frogged light years ahead of these OLD SKOOLERS.


the ruts created by present day TROPHY TRUCKS and CLASS 1 UNLIMITED cars with insane suspension travel and insane HP, create whoop de doos that old skool vehicles cannot handle but at a snails pace.


hence.............the NORRA 1000. just picture james garners oldsmobile ,walker evans dodge truck, mickey thompsons buggies etc. malcom smith on his HUSKY 500XC etc etc.


its run what cha brung kind of racing. if ya show up with a full race wing'd gawd dam'it..............they WILL HAVE A CLASS FOR YOU! ANYTHING! ANY MAKE MODEL as long as it passes safety tech.(read the tech it IS INVOLVED)


3 days of hammering the hell out of yerself and yer codawg and yer vehicle ALL THE WAY TO LA PAZ THE HARD WAY!



and WEZ GOING with my 1976 SCORE LEGAL CLASS 8 CHEBBIE C-10 2wd GEISER BUILT TRUCK..............this is NUMERO UNO #1 , NUMBA 1 ON MY BUCKET LIST! hopefully we will be ready by april 2013...............if all systems including my wallet are NOT A GO WITH THROTTLE UP, than we will defer until 2014.
