I will be tracking 204x all day on Friday and into Saturday A.M. This is the team I was suppose to ride withy until "Life" got in the way last month. Good luck guys and if anybody else needs updates let me know.

As posted on CRF's only:
THR Motorsports is proud to have CRF’s Only as a sponsor and we look forward to a rewarding trip. Together the team has several SCORE, D37, D38 and BITD wins and we are looking to continue that with the upcoming Baja 1000.

We are leaving around 6:30 am and will break up into two groups – one group focusing on the Mexicali to San Felipe area and another group focusing on the coastal side. This will be our third trip down there for this race and we are cross training sections in the event we have a rider that gets injured.

We will be tracked through IRC during the entire race and you follow us at http://www.racetheworld.net/ircstore/ About 12 hours before the race, tracking will begin and we are number 204x. There will be updates every two minutes to allow for family and friends to follow us as we traverse the course.

With the time change, we will be expecting to ride in the dark around VDT and that will make for a whole new challenge for a few teams. Having completed the last two Baja 1000’s this is where we are hoping to gain on those that have not practiced their night riding skills. Around the same time we are expected to be caught by the Class 1’s and Trophy Trucks. Riding a bike and having those guys fly past you makes you very humble in the big scheme of things.

Thanks to The Pit Enterprise for prepping the bikes and getting us race course support. It will be a huge benefit to THR Motorsports this year to have the skilled talent of factory trained technicians right there with us during the prerunning and race efforts, Thanks Don.

Of course thanks in advance to Paul at AgentSmith Racing for all of his great head work. That guy can polish them and turn 'em around like no other…. His work is key to a motor running just a little bit better than the competition and we are glad that he could help us in that effort.

There are a lot of other great people out there who are a part of this team in one way or another; one of which is AMA Plastics. Eddie, Cheryl, Denise and Mark are all great people and have been in the injection molding business for several generations. Not only are they one of a few companies in the nation to have a master tool builder, they also specialize in leading technologies and resin selection.

Then of course there is Ken of CRF’s Only, no introduction needed. A dedicated individual to his family, the love of motorcycles and all of us as a community on his site. He is always there regardless of the time of day to offer straight advice, the best service and competitive prices to all of us.

Nice looking Bike. Good Luck, and be safe.

What's up with all the over bikes running the under class??? There are only a couple of 250f's in the under class, the rest are 450's. What gives??

Kind of like the AMA motocross rules. A 450 4-stroke can run inthe 250 2-stroke class. It would be a long day on a 250 4-stroke.

There is only an under and over class in Sportsman. Under is for the little bikes (250f's) and over is for the big (250 2 smokes) bikes (450's and open class 650's).

I would be pretty pissed :confused: if I was on a 250f (there are a few entered) and had a bunch of 450's cherrypicking. They should be in the big bike class.

Sounds like those couple of 250's should step it up a notch!:D

Nah you just have to work a little harder. Plus you can race the 125 class.

I fell asleep just after midnight. Matts tracker had him at mm 565 for over an hour. It still shows him there. Joe and I were texting each other and there was no contact with Matt. I can't get ahold of anybody today. I am hoping that the tracker broke and they are all resting.
I will keep you posted.
