2010 Baja 1000

Torsten and I packed up our bikes and headed for San Felipe to start pre-running

Had a great place to stay - Jim was kind enough to let us stay in his casita
Jim thanks a ton we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. It was great!!!!!

Of course we couldn't leave out the Poblano Taco Stand in Ensenada! Ate my fair share of tacos.


The things you find in Mexico... We call this the 'Zonkey', a white donkey spray painted to look like a zeebra.

Thanks to Potts for letting us stay in his garage in La Bufadora. Our roommate, (his Trophy truck) kept us protected.

Registration at the San Nicolas the day before the race


Always a crazy day down at Tech and Contingency


We had a great race. Torsten started the race and got us up to 2nd place in our class in the first 80 miles. We stayed in 2nd until we handed the bike off, around mile 400.

Special thanks to Schampa for making this race possible for us!
We also need to thank:
Nate Watson at Mexpro for the Mexican Auto Insurance.
Josh Jay at Clif Bar for the fuel for the body.
Jim Davis at CocaCola for keeping us hydrated.

We truly appreciate all the help!
