[QUOTE="Dirty Harry, post: 1857400, member: 16430"] The next step was convincing Ben that this is something we should do. He is based out of Colorado and hasn't raced in Mexico before. The Sonora Rally is only six weeks after King of the Hammers too, which doesn't leave much time for prep. I started by showing him and his girlfriend photos from my last trip to the Sonora Rally and lining up friends who would come help us at the rally. [ATTACH=full]199633[/ATTACH] I like the size of the Sonora Rally, while it has grown this year you never get lost in the fray. Darren and Scott and Rodo know that most of the competitors are new to rally raid and do an excellent job explaining the differences from traditional desert racing. I also like that you camp in the bivouac with the other teams and help each other out rather than just going back to your hotel or motorhome at the end of the stage. [ATTACH=full]199634[/ATTACH] Plus there is the food! And the culture. And racing someplace new. All of these are really compelling reasons for me, it was just a matter of convincing Ben that he would enjoy it as well. [/QUOTE]
