This might be some obscure trivia, but interested in knowing who might have successfully finished a Baja 1000 race with the most seat time in a four wheel vehicle.

I am interested in someone driving the entire race who finished under the time limit but used most of the allotted time. Assume this will be someone who did a peninsula run, assume the courses have gotten rougher and less direct over the years and thus time limits will be a bit longer after 1990’s.

Go Ramsey!!

Ramsey, I must say out of all of the battles that have taken place over this Baja 1000 none was more exciting to watch than yours! As far as all of us on RDC can tell your time limit has run out but you're still headed in for the finish line. Regardless of time limits you're soldiering on and...

In 5-1600 Trevor Anderson did the pensula run I think 2012 or 2013 solo to la Paz and won the race in class beat us by 30 min or something true iron man went thru a couple of navigators great people to race against

Well I think the terminology was being used as Ironman being a single person in the vehicle without a passenger and solo as a single driver with a passenger(s). But whatever the terminology people need to use. I am interested in an individual weather alone or with passenger in a 4 wheeled vehicle without handle bars.

Not an ironman just a long day . 2014 trophy lite . Not a perfect run but damn close for us. Would love to try it again . Open sportsman truck . I was supposed to drive to rm 1020 . I wanted to do 1000 miles . N 2 driver was mia at 2 am so i kept going . They stuck my raptor in a dry tidal flat north of scorpion bay, same flat i chose to backbtrack out of in the race truck and take the longer safe route 😊 . When you see a stuck utv its time to rethink your path

Got it. Yes if I see more than one stuck UTV it’s definitely time to take a mental pause but as we are 4wd I don’t get overly concerned.

Now in a trophy light. Totally understand.

Those tidal flats can get super sketchy if you stray outside the lane.
