Harley-Davidson to race Baja 1000

[Hog Wild]

We're going for it!

Team Hog Wild Racing is entering the 2008 Baja 1000 on their Harley-Davidson V-Rod powered off-road sidecar. Driver Scott Whitney and passenger Joe “Hauler” Desrosiers have set their sights on crossing the finish line and challenging the Swiss sidecar team competing on an Aprilia powered sidecar rig. “It’s been years since a sidecar competed in Baja and this year there will be two of them”, said Scott, “we’re looking forward to taking on this awesome challenge the toughest way possible, on a sidecar.” Never before has there been head to head competition between two talented teams on these amazing vehicles in the Baja.

Scott and Joe joined forces over a year ago with the goal of competing together in the Dakar Rally. Scott competed in Dakar 2006, and brings to the duo over 30 years of sidecar motocross wins and championships at some of the toughest tracks in the world. Joe brings the experience of numerous Baja 1000 and Baja 500 class 21 wins, two class 21 championships and two times runner-up in the class 22 championship against factory Honda. Their goal is to ironman this Baja 1000 on their handbuilt off-road sidecar, and then turn their sights again to Dakar.

WOW! Good luck. I can't wait to see the two of you finish. Hats off to the two of you, especially Joe being the "monkey". Start doing a lot of squats. That is gnarley. What number are you running? 5150?

Way to go Hog Wild. The ADV Pit will be around RM 340 so you know you have a friend there.(but I think you already knew that) Can't wait to see you guys out there.

Good Luck to both of you, Scott! You couldn't have found a better hack monkey. No "Ben Hur" chariot scenes when you come up behind a slow quad.

All DP Racing pits are available for your use. GO USA!!

I like the odds with Joe being the "monkey". Joe knows Baja!
