I just heard this rumor going around the office. Now its been confirmed. This really really sucks. My prayers go out to Chris and his family they must be devistated. Imaging getting pulled out of your vehicle at gun point...that's got to be traumatizing especially to his kids.

I'm glad everyone is o.k. That stuff is replaceable, but it is still hard to hear.

Warning to all teams and travelers returning from Baja...
Just received a phone call from the Hall family (Chris is Sourapas' truckdriver)
They were taken at gunpoint last night, truck and trailer stolen and left out in the middle of nowhere... All happened within sight of the TJ tollboth by what appeared to be 2 black unmarked police cars.. let all friends and family still returning frim the 1000 know- DO NOT STOP FOR ANYTHING OR ANYONE OUTSIDE OF POPULATED AREAS!
Also keep an eye out for a white superduty/Andy McMillin RedBull trailer...
Travel in large groups, be careful, lets get everybody home safe. Please pass this info along.

I saw the mcmillin trailer coming overthe hill from rosarito in the junk yard no **** this is not a lie we thought it looked out of place the blue trailer w andys name and a redbull sponser on the side i was parked next to the trailer in loreto on thursday morning then went to pick it up on sat it was gone it was near the first exit coming in to tj

I was pitting a quad at El Rosario about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, saw a White Superduty with no plates and no door handles on the passenger side roll in, looked stolen to me

On the way back got pulled over by a cop in Constitution, he said I was speeding and wanted $200, I had my wallet set up with 300 pesos/$30 and I told him that's all he was getting, after 10 minutes of negotiation he took the $30.

All in all, I feel fortunate compared to all the horror stories.

Andy and Dan you guys should really get this out to the local media, they've been reporting how a couple recently got robbed at gunpoint at a beach. The more this gets out in the open the better chance of them (baja gov) of at least putting real cops on patrol on that highway. yeah i know the cops are crooked but better a 20 than your rides.

all I can say is good luck with that. I have had family in tj all my life and every year it gets even worse. People complain and the local media covers the deaths and violent crimes every day , it has happend to every one in tj and right in plain day light , the corupt police is in it and its not local government its federal , the cops on the Baja highway are all Federal and untachable by local police and state police . the ones who terrorised the Hall family are a group by the name of the Black Comandos ,they are trained spacial forces killers hired by goverment drug king pins to settle there dirty work against the mexican military ,but when not out following orders they spend there time kidnaping local midel class citezens of tj for ransom. It has only been in the las 2 -3 years that this has gotten worse ,before this type of comando groups that put themselfs against the military only existed in mainland mexico ,but ever since the fall of the bigest drug cartel in the west coast ,all the other cartels from mainland mexico have been comming in to see who gains power over the southwestrn border of tj , thats y they have brought in this comandos to do all the dirty work against any governmet or military opposition to them . this comando groups are posible because of the coroption in the federal government , many political parties are alied with difrent drug cartels . you are seeing this drastic change to violance and masive coroption the inthe local government of baja because of two things the fall of the old drug cartel and the fall of the PRI political party in this past 6 years things have been changing up to this point ,before all or most of baja was controled by only one political party and tijuanas goverment had direct influence over ensenada and rosarito and La paz was to far and seperated by 800 miles of desolet highway. now with this new change of governments in the area ,tijuana , ensenada and now the huge small city of rsarito are bringing in political people from mainland mexico with corupt views and difrentopposing affileits to cartel groups . Its becoming a meltting pot for all of mexicos most corupt politicians and drug lords all mixed in with the instopable amount of people coming to the border city from mainland mexico , southamerica , china and the midle east and no i am not lying when I saw china and middle east ,the local media has reported this in all the mexican channels and I am surprised that the american media neer reports this masive finds of chines people and arabs. And when I say good luck about Baja govrnment changing ther act its because baja is now being derectly controled by mainland mexico and before 2000 it dident have that direct afect it has now ,so they will not care about the BAJA 1000 trust me no one in mainland mexico cares about the baja 1000 almost no one has heard about it 3/4 of people in mainland mexico dont make money to buy themselfs a disent pair of shows or go to a movie ,the small fraction of people in mexico that go to the baja 1000 are only from tijuana , ensenada and southern baja and are middle class the rest of the country dosent even know it exist.

sorry for my spelling.

Good job.......The Beast bringing home the TRUTH, no one on here has anything 2 say about that post

[The Beast]

mAN I keep on reading this forums and I honestly feel sad , angry and I know the truth and it makes me sick to know what this **** has come to. I am an American Born and Raised , dad in Vietnam ,Gramps in WW2 and family in Irak ,but what hurts me the most is that ia m also a mexican american with family in both countrys specially BAJA ,My Grandmother was born In baja sur and my mom ,I love baja with all my Heart ,its part of my blood and I am fed up with this **** I have had friends killed in baja for no reson just because they couldent pay the ransom. All I can say is if you dont have to come dont do it , but if you love it just like I do and my family. Always have this in your head do every thing in your power to stay alive ,because you have family waiting for you ,but if there is no other way other than dead than always go down fighting I much rather die on my feet ****ing one of this guys up even if its with my hands than die kneeling down with my tail between my legs.


I am sorry for the profanity but its all I can say about this people.


Take care ,always travein groups and you guys are always welcomed in my house in MULEGE BAJA SUR , SAN DIEGO OR TJ . BE SAFE AND REMEBER TO KEEP THOUGHS BEAUTIFUL MEMORYS OF BAJA WITH YOU ALWAYS.
