2009 Baja 1000 - A great opportunity to work together and unify the SCORE Baja Solo racers! 20% of the total cash purse will be donated to a charitable organization of the Solo winner's choice, 80% returned to the top 3 finishers & a prize raffle for all solo finishers.
The cash purse is already building and prizes are being donated with the hope that no Solo rider will go home empty handed!

Please visit www.racesolo.com for more information and registration.

Will you moto dorks accept a pledge of support from the most hated of desert racing foes to the two wheel family?

Trophy Truck #16 will pledge something if that is acceptable? We have to make it fun though!

FYI - I refuse to email any email that has YOGA in it....

Country Clubbers welcome! I will gladly give you a non-yoga email too.

Really excited about the "make it fun" part...

Maybe you could donate the Branding Iron?
I don't care what these other dorks say, your a class act in my book (yah sucking up so you will look harder for me next time or pick me up in the TT)

Will the web site show a running total of donations?

She did say her name was Charity or maybe it was Chastity...she had a heavy accent and it was kinda loud in there:devil:

As for Korenwinder being healthy...he was first solo last year and celebrated with a bypass, no? :worthy:

This is awesome Gabe!

You're making me want to drop both my Teams and run solo this year!

I hope you guys:

1) get the recognition you deserve
2) get the petition together for SCORE to make an official IRONDUDE-DUDETTE class
3) get those YOGA lessons you have been longing for

:thumbsup:

PS: Next year I hope to run for the overall solo too! Not just the Overall at Paris anymore... :lol:

Where are the rest of the solo racers? Kenweld? Motoman? BBM tour teams? Alabama? Indiana? That guy from New York?

Don't you guys waste the day like me reading a bunch of crap on the internet???

I would love to join in the fun, but considering that I'm both broke and broke off, this will not be the year.

I like the make it fun part, and am in to putting in some $$ to the pot.

The big problem is who to root for??

You want to root someone in Baja? You are sick, ask your Aussie buddies about that.

I'm cheering for 15x

For the 09 1000, what is the potential payout for iron man 22x class vs who enters and wins iron man 50 class. I am already one vodka into this so maybe I need to rephrase that. Iron man 22x 1st , 2nd, 3rd. What is the potential payout after the dust has settled. And where does the "man" in the 50 pro class fit into this iron man equation?
On to cocktail #2. :banana: I love racing and miss Baja.
