Dirt Junkie

I started following Off Road racing as a teenager, just a spectator until my brother and I borrowed some money from my parents plus a partnership (that only worked out for about a year) with a couple of friends and bought a 5-1600 to participate in local races held in Ensenada and Mexicali until we couldn't afford to prep the car anymore, after that adventure a few of us graduated to Score in the late 90's to mid 2000's, and the now extinct BITD Baja 300.
A bunch of friends who always supported other friends efforts finally got a chance to race in Class 22 many times and even drove and started the Baja 1000 in Class 7S.
The best feeling I ever had racing was finishing the bike at the Baja 1000 in La Paz, nothing like it.
I have been reading what goes on in Race Dezert for many years, I have different takes on many subjects as does everyone else and I thought maybe now that I am mature, "yeah right", I might have something worth writing about. I also found my last bike on the classifieds.
I have a Ford Ranger that I have abused for the last 11 years. Started as my daily driver, turned into my pre runner, and is my daily driver once more, cant find a better mode of transportation in Tijuana. My Avalanche is for show only, the family car, it can never take the abuse I give the Ranger.
I traded my indestructible XR650R a few years ago for a KX500 and haven't regretted it one bit. I enjoy different kinds of ridding now.
Future plans are like everyone else, to hit the Lotto and get a TT, lol.
