Baja 250 ATV/UTV race report

[Merriman]

I wanted to let everyone know that my race report for the ATV's and UTV's are up at www.atvriders.com. There is also a photo gallery so check it out.

Also, while I don't have anything to do with the Motorcycles, I did snap a lot of pictures of them. Not all the motorcycles, but most. If you want me to see if I have a picture, let me know.

Nice write up. I was one of guys who got towed out while we walked 5 miles against the course to get our quad out 2a. Thanks for the tow.

With all the $$ going into Rhinos, I think it's pretty impressive to see such a mildly built Ranger pull off the win.

[Merriman]

I agree, but there were not very many Rhinos at the race either, and none of the big buck rhinos were there.

I was with the Arctic Cat So-Cal Fab team of Doug Mendez (1801)
We made it to RM157 and timed out.
Any photos???
Travis- I think the mostly "stock" configuration is the best way to go in one of these races. With the long travel suspensions- the added leverages and loads put on the a-arms, mounts and steering, fatigues them over a long period.
Until a more stout configuration is developed (i.e.: heims, beefed up frames at the suspension and steering rack, and front steering), they will keep breaking.

Hey,

I was chasing the ATV's all the to the finish line, and by the time I reached that location I could not get out to get any pictures of the UTV's. I looked for as many as I can at contingency, but I only saw a few. My friend did take a picture of your vehicle (red prowler?) that I posted in the photo gallery, but that is the only one. Sorry, hopefully next time I can catch back up to you guys.

Thanks Levi.
I think they are prepping for the 500.
Hope they beef it up. We will see.
