Thats gonna be weird seeing the 1x plate on anything but a red bike

Big news.

When all the rumors were flying around during the last B1K I was hoping to hear that R.Bell and some other Honda Ex pats would join forces to take on JCR... Mainly Hengeveld and Childress.

It's about time.

To bad you get in trouble when you post "RUMORS" cause this is old news. as of today it is down to 3 people. Mike Childress, Steve Hengaveld and Shane Esposito.?

Sounds like a dynasty wrecking crew.

I guess you arn't old enough to remember the Kaweee dominance? Have people forgotten Danny Hamel so soon?

Honda has bought enough #1 plates over the years, it about time someone else bought one LOL!!!

Reported from another site:

Bell, 23, of Sun City, Calif., has left the factory Honda team after winning the two-wheel overall title in San Felipe the last three years and will be teamed with another former Honda rider Mike Childress on the No. 1x Kawasaki KX450F. Bell drew the first start last year as well for the JCR team owned by SCORE Baja racing legend Johnny Campbell.

Campbell, who won his race-record seventh Overall motorcycle and eighth motorcycle class title in this race last year while riding with Bell, has entered two Honda CRF450X teams in this year’s race for the JCR team. Rider of record on one bike will be Kendall Norman, who has two overall wins in San Felipe, and the team’s other rider of record Colton Udall is a rookie on the team and making his first San Felipe start.

This will generate a lot more interest than in years past! Is Quinn Cody on 3x or 4x?

Now we have a Race, Does The Kawi team have a Helo ???

This is gonna be Good.

They don't need a HELO...

JCRs helo might be on 1x all morning:smirk:

No helicopters in san felipe

There are some marginal truths in that press release

1 thing is for sure there is going to be some great racing in SCORE for 2009

Go kawasaki!

I have my suspicions about Childress riding with Bell in SF.

Decoys are the mother of many Baja team strategies.

Bell and Childress are kind of mismatched. Robby is like this all american, Jiminy Cricket figure with great parenting, plenty of supervision and a soft spoken disposition. Childress on the other hand, not so much. (but still an incredible racer). On the bike in San Felipe, I'd expect to see someone else on the KAWI with Bell.

Co rider spots are subject to change on the drop of a hat and the mysto thing is a proven strategy. Lets see what unfolds here in the next few weeks.

Ok let me give you my "Best guess". It will be Bell, Esposito and they will ride with a third guy and it is between Childress and Hengaveld "not racing a truck". Note, Bells team green ride goes through the Hengavelds arizona dealership and his dad is puting this deal together to race SCORE.?

For both Hengy and Mikey stepping back to a bike from a Trophy Truck is kinda sucky. I mean which would you rather do?? Ride a green bike or drive a 800 horsepower Trophy Truck?

JK. I'm sure both enjoy racing both bikes and trucks.
