NORRA Mexican 1000

Go to the HP Ranch party, you won't regret it and only a few minutes out of town. They know how to do it up.

Love your race number plaque! Now it's a racer. Have a blast down there and wish i were going too. Second year now missing it and it sucks...haha!

Thanks BD. I'm going to paint the number plaque yellow to match the rig. Thanks for the HP ranch input also. I hope we end up there. I've heard it rocks!

Well, we made it Ensenada and met Randy (Bukin 67) today. Super nice guy and a gorgeous truck!

Tomorrow morning we leave on our adventure!

I'm pretty sure that these are all of our Vintage Bronco guys...

49 Randy Ludwig
332 Chris Sullivan

We are currently in Loreto with some lousy wifi. We just fixed a leaking rear axle seal and removed a rear shock with a broken upper mount. We had to replace a bad fuel pump yesterday. Otherwise no issues - having a blast and enjoying ourselves immensely!

Sounds like a blast Todd. Wish I was there with you guys!

There have been some unfortunate rollovers for vintage iron across the classes.

EB team 66 (don hatch white unicorn racing?) has been drivin the wheels off it and at one point got some vw contact and later was on its side but got righted and frankly didn't look that affected.

Randy (CB - Buckin #49) had some axel issues and not sure if they are sorted but wow the rig looks fantastic and the fab work on it is absolute top notch.

Boyd Jayes #26 caballo diablo is always fast as all get out and yesterday he had a tire issue as well but fixed and kept charging forward. Boyd is a funny guy at contingency he had a HUGE fig newtons windshield sticker "Ala Talladega Nights" not sure everyone "got it" but those that did had a good laugh.

Chris Sullivan in #332 is a solid NORRA veteran and remains consisitently quick.

Yesterday Norton/Sullivan/Jaynes were all talking at a checkpoint n seems everyone is enjoying themselves.

 

[coachbarnes]

Great updates! Thanks! Looked to me like #49 was trailered to Loreto last night, but I could be mistaken. The good news is that they are all showing to be in Loreto ready for their Day 3 quest for Cabo! Good luck fellas! Keep heading South!

 

[coachbarnes]

Looks like 4 outta 5 made it to LaPaz....seems like Bukin (49) returned to Loreto and is now trailering (just my assumption based on IRC) down to LaPaz so he might have had more problems today. Short run into Cabo tomorrow! Keep the rubber down fellas! Quite an accomplishment to get these old trucks all the way down the penninsula! Really proud of you guys!

 

[NicksTrix]

sounds like a good traditional Baja adventure!

Awesome stuff. Next year for me maybe...

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the picture... That really looks awesome!

Randy (#49) is an official DNF. That's tough news, but I'm sure he had a blast! #'s 8, 26 and 66 are all at the finish in Cabo. #332 is about 50 miles from finish and moving. Overall, a really really good showing for our little Broncos in a very long race!! Can't wait to hear the stories.

Congrats to Andrew for finishing 31st in the vintage division. Got a text from him saying that they finished and were heading to the awards party.

Awesome stuff. It's really cool to see the broncos in Baja. Might just have to build one just for Baja.

Hi guys, TZ, enesset, our friend Sam, and I are sleeping in Loreto tonight on our way north. I've been without Internet til now and am looking forward to posting pics and telling the stories from the race. Quick version - a rougher course than previous years. More breakage and carnage for many, including us. Overall, still the best fun to be had IMO!!! 2nd in our class.
