[Blanco]

Moss seems about 8 miles ahead of the Pack!

[Blanco]

Whats this Chase Class I just noticed on the bottom of the list? :confused:

[Blanco]

& it looks like Raffo & Skilton are having a good battle.

[chupakabras]

some chase trucks have irc too, , it looks like there is only one camera at the start line, so, you already miss that,. so,.

[Blanco]

Looks like Wooden is having some issues. :(

[yogib]

Dang that sucks.I hope if they broke it was something that they will get fixxed soon.I still dont see Woodens machine going yet.I dont think they did a good enough race prep and chase truck etc. for this.The bronco is well built and tough but the small details can bite ya.

[Blanco]

Is this their 1st Baja Race?
I remember meeting them at PRIMM. :)

[yogib]

[Blanco]

Yeah because he's still sitting & skilton just passed RM145. :confused:
Raffo's Picking up the pace now at 38 MPH.
I can just imagine Raffo stomping on the skinny pedal trying to catch Skilton!

I know Raffo wants this win on Moss.
Then again....... dont we all. :rolleyes:

[Blanco]

Seems skilton helped out pflueger because they were sitting together for a while & now they're both hauling ass again! :D

[Joe Rockhead]

[Grimm]

how can you tell how fast they moving

[Blanco]

how can you tell how fast they moving

Place your mouse cursor over their number & it tells you info about them on the top right side of the page.

Moss at RM 125 & & Raffo is at 144 & Skilton is at 170.

[Blanco]

:( Bummer that Wooden never made it past RM52.

& What a bummer that Moss & Skilton could'nt have race without any issues.
Would made it more interesting.

I wonder if Moss pushed too hard, feeling Skilton breathing down his neck.?

He should be more experienced than that though.

[chupakabras]

it ain't over yet,.

[Grimm]

what happened to Moss?

[Joe Rockhead]

Thanks TNT I had to switch to Firefox last year . This year, my computer says it will take 2 hours to download(I got problems:mad:) May load the race radio in the truck and sit in the front yard.I hear the weatherman only that way.If I sit on the hill I get two way conversation.

[Blanco]

what happened to Moss?
Seems theres a pit at RM 147 & thats where they're currently sitting.
I noticed everyone stops there for a bit & thats where Moss is sitting now.

[Blanco]

I doubt your radio has that sort of range? :eek::confused::rolleyes:

Take the 2 hours, Its will still be going long after that for Class 3. :cool:

[Blanco]

Moss must of fixed what ever issues they had There doing 78 MPH now just past RM 150. :D
& Raffo has stopped in a strange place RM 162 ( I've seen other stop there before.), With Moss hualing ass towards them.

[Joe Rockhead]

Looks like Raffo is going zero on the lake bed, Don catching up. How long were they down.

[Blanco]

Moss has been there & gone.
I'm not marking it down on paper but it feels like Raffo been sitting there for at least 15 minutes. :confused:

[Blanco]

We cant track the Bikes at all huh?
I'd like to know how the Sidecars are doing.

What class did the side cars bikes run? :confused:

Seems I can see bikes but the Weatherman keeps saying that they cant track the bikes?

[Joe Rockhead]

I show Johnny Campbell at mile 405, I thought he would be further.

[Blanco]

I show Johnny Campbell at mile 405, I thought he would be further.
But who are the Side car guys? :confused:

[tnt]

304 out

[Dave G]

Moss must of fixed what ever issues they had ....

Apparently we had a third member failure, I'll post more up as I find out!

[Blanco]

Looks like Raffo has a broken front axle housing @ RM 161 & that would explain why his been sitting so long... :(
I hope it repairable!

[Blanco]

Apparently we had a third member failure, I'll post more up as I find out!
Why are you not down the Dave? :confused:

Dude I feel your pain! :(
Especially being able to hear it live is a strange blend between wonderful & miserable... :o
I just could not afford it.
strangely enough, I normally have to fight with my boss about taking the time off & this year the boss would been fine with it.

But being I'm broke, it was not an option. :rolleyes:

[Joe Rockhead]

www.hogwildracing.blogspot.com
I heard the Euro sidehack got held up in customs .and won't have a tracker

[Blanco]

What about the Diesel Bike? :confused:

[Joe Rockhead]

Wonder if he used his Jake Brake going down Rumorosa? Also wonder if anyone did the manly-man bike line straight down the hill?

How did the VW diesel TT do? :confused:

[Blanco]

Looks like Raffo is about 25 miles outside of Ensenada. ( on a trailer I'm sure. :rolleyes: )

[Yikes]

How did the VW diesel TT do? :confused:

13th in TT. Broke the trans before check 1.

[Yikes]

Caught Moss coming into the finish this morning. Just in time for a thumbs up before the last turn. Thought they won! But unfortunately they were 2 1/2hrs or so behind JKrell. Congrats to them for a great win. They would have placed 6th or so in Class 1. I think they got 30th overall. Amazing.

[straightaxle]

Congrats to the Skilton team. Well prepared and experienced team, they never had any problems. Not sure if our rear quarter panel hurt their bumper or not, the dust was just incredible for the entire race. Usually it spreads out, but never did this time.

We had a 3rd member come apart (did not break), extremely uncharacteristic of our gear guy, we'll be talking to him about that! It leaked oil after that and we had to stop at each pit and throw in more. Also stopped to replace an alternator that turned out to be a loose battery that had broken a terminal off.

Will have to write more later, just got back late this morning.

[Blanco]
