I thought it was called the Baja Sur 500.;)

[Radio Bob]

;) Yes, it is! This year.

Talked with Mike this afternoon, he said that Baja Legend Jimmie Jeffries, who has several race cars in his stable, will be represented in the race, by at least one of his class 1's. He is also hoping to have his historic baja mule in tijuana for the Baja 1000 event. The course is in great shape and from the website, this will be the first local race to have live satellite tracking from International Racing Consultants. http://www.racetheworld.net/

You got a question about this stuff, just give me a call at 619-479-8855.

Looks like a fun race... the entry price is pretty modest and the pit fee aint to bad either... i dont have a vehical but that looks like a whole lotta fun on a bike. does any body have a extra seat for me so i can tag along?!?!? :D

[Baja_Seve]

;) Yes, it is! This year.
Talked with Mike this afternoon, ...blah-blah-blah.....

Gee, Bob, why the name change? Care to explain what's going on with the Overcast intrusion on ProBaja promoting this race? They seem to know what's going on in the Spanish speaking forum.

Please explain: what exactly does Mike Overcast have to do with this race?
