When are you too old to race competitively?

[Josh 8]

Quest is;​

“When are you too old to race competitively?”​

Do what I do when you begin to realize it…. Load your junk, haul it around in Baja on a trailer because the new “wazoo” fuel injection won’t run and hang out in bitchen beach houses for 5 days.

Yeah, I am good with this.

The ceviche is awesome in San Filipe too.

Dont wait make it permanent. Im here full time and see that view every day. Did i mention I get paid a lot of money to race TTs? Life is good.

You're too old when you enter TTL instead of TT.

 

[Crusty Shellback]

You're too old when you enter TTL instead of TT.

So who all over 50 are still racing in TT instead of TTL?
LR, Rob Mac, Cam, Robby.

 

[jon coleman]

wait, your just old enough when you enter ttL?, right??

Didn't Larry Ragland just finish the 500 in a UTV? Larry is around 80?

Looked it up, Larry is 78.

Looked it up, Larry is 78.

Still racing competitively; though the competitor is no longer the other guys in UTV's...now it is just competing against Baja

 

[jon coleman]

competing against the tuffest compitition, the one we all race against, time

 

[fishd00d]

Larry Ragland finished the Baja 500 in TT #87, not TTL, and not a UTV.......and Rat didnt even know who he was at the finish......sad.

Thank you Fish...what the heck did I just type above? Sorry Larry.

To be fair, Rat doesn’t know who 95% of everyone is until he get a w card and then is only running at 7%

 

[LAZY-H]

Curious. Who’s the oldest racer to win the Baja 1000 overall on four wheels? Not splitting driving duties, soloing the whole race.

 

[jon coleman]

overall?, or cls?& peninsula run only

So embarrassing...I myself catch myself all the time not knowing who is who and who won't what. I can only hold x amount of profiles in my head and they are not sports figures, celebrities, actors etc. I organize things differently in my brain hence I got Larry racing UTV wrong. Thats why I myself don't comment as much on who won or congratulate people because I simply don't remember if they just won the Baja500, 1000 or the one from 4 years ago. I do remember individual stories of extraordinary accomplishments and character trades more.

I am glad that people like Fish and many others jump in here and set the record straight. Keep at it.

I think Bob Shepard was 46-47 in 2005 when he drove every mile of the season and won the Baja 1000.
