Housing in Ensenada and san felipe not an issue. We are in points chase and looking for someone fast and reliable. If you look at the score map you would be riding the Mikes sky ranch section and milage could vary from 160 miles to as little as 100 miles. This section will be at night. All race prep has been taken care of need only show up, pre run and race. FYI class thirty is thirty years old min.

Justin?

Pm says it not Justin. I heard Joey Lane mentioned -- solid choice (if his wife will let him)

Sorry but I'm still recovering from some injuries, and I think Dave singned to Race the 1000 in google earth this year.
Good luck for everyone this 1000 looks like is going to be a great race.
I think Head hooter is available this year.

Since I'm not available guess you will have to forfeit. Would have been good though, no doubt... Will keep you posted if anything changes... The truth is if your avatar wasn't so alarming I might have considered throwing my 35 year old over weight outta shape self in the mix. I just don't know if I can deal with that kind of temptation.

Jen would be a great addition to a team, if she is not already busy.:thumbsup:

I have someone, but they are slated to be driving one of our chase trucks.

Tall man, long fall. Broke my wrist yesterday dancing through the Summit rocks. Sounds like there's been a lot of carnage out there. Looks like we have some solid prospects. It wouldn't be Baja without last minute madness... yeehaw.

Go 308x and 600x!

Bummer Justin. I was on the way to pick you up when Sol called to say you got to Ojos. The team will miss you. I heard second or third hand today that 2 of Honda's riders were air evac-ed. Anyone know anything about that.

Sorry to hear you got hurt Justin, I hope you got off the summit with out to much of a nightmare situation.

I read on another message board that OX got air lifted back to San Diego. I guess he is doing well and on the mend. If another JCR guy went down that sucks big time.

I got as far as the Military checkpoint and was in the line so I just did the circulado and got the second full cavity search right away, bang bang. You guys should email Pete about availability, looking for someone to go down south of SF, around the bottom of Matomi. I will be at RM 90 for the first rider change and then the long day at Borrego for both passes. I will stay in SF this time to take over the computer / comm. center after that.
