BajaBroncos 2013 NORRA effort

[needabronco]

I had the honor of driving the Racer a couple of years ago at the AZ Stampede. That thing is all business for sure! Great Job on the 2013 efforts!

Congrats on the effort and sweet Bronco for sure! Can you provide pictures of the shock mounts? I am really interested to see what type of suspension (mainly shocks) you are running since I don't see big reservoir cans poking out all over.

Thanks,
T

There's a good video we'll have to see about posting where we are about to pass a Manx.

While at the Petersen yesterday, I grabbed some pics of Old Red (Meyers Manx)

I'll try and find some pics (I'm sure Andrew has some). Suffice to say, our suspension is very simple. The springs are WH 2.5" front and rear and the shocks are dual Bilstein 5125s on each wheel on old school/Stroppe dual shock mounts. We feel our suspension is well suited for NORRA's courses. We've traditionally fared very well against our competition that uses coilovers/bypasses, etc.

Thanks for sharing! Bruce had it on display again at tech/contingency and then I guess it went to the Petersen after that.

Hey guys the pictures and video are fantastic! Same as Juntura if you have some pictures of the Bronco's suspension, engine and interior we would all love to drool all over them!

And MORE VIDEO!!!!

Yup, the dust has cleared so I'll get the pics a postin'.

This truck is pretty stock through and through, or should I say "period correct". Even the lights are from the late 60s.

Kaysinger Racing and I didn't feel that bypass or reservior shocks had a place on a vintage ride.

Here are a few pictures from Thursday before the race! It was getting down to the wire... I'll have to go through what the others took for race pics as I didn't have time to hold a camera much during the event = driving(both truck and Bronco), logistics, etc.

But it sure was FUUUNNN! Major thanks to Kaysinger Racing again for the opportunity to build and race this Bronco.

 

[Juntura]

Thank you! I must say that is one BEAUTIFUL piece of equipment! Nice detail everywhere.

Here's a video of Andrew driving the truck up onto the display ramp at tech/contingency:

Everyone from the team then gathered around the vehicle while it was on the ramp for photos, etc.

The little VW Bug that followed us put on quite a show as it literally jumped up on the ramp.

This one isn't terribly exciting. When we leave the ceremonial start at the bullring in Mexicali, we have about 20-25 miles of driving through Mexicali and out onto Hwy 2 before we reach the dry lake bed (Laguna Salada) and the official start of the race in the dirt.

And more highway cruising and pulling onto the lakebed:

At 0:23, you see us passing an orange EB parked along the highway. Other than a few at tech/contingency and our fellow competitors, that is the only EB I saw in all of Baja for the next 2500 miles and 7 days.

At about 2:43 is a shot of Andrew driving through the town plaza of San Ignacio (one of my favorite spots in Baja).
