Don't talk crap about racing Baja until you have actually done i!.This is a hard core race with every type of unforeseen obstacle in it.No mommas boys out here, just the real deal .,It's just you the course and the thrill to twist the throttle wide open.
@327nlake I would love to see Dakar return to Africa. Paris-Dakar is just not the same, its missing something, wihtout being the original Paris- Dakar style circuits. Yes, I know Argentina-Chile are challenging, but its the nostalgia, the vibe, the feel, the history of the Sahara of Africa that makes it so mystical. I would love for it to go back to its proper location.
some logistics in makin the race.. good terrain and intersting people/ i don't doubt for a second that you all are u to something too. keep it up. Baja is something to see as a)security
b) endurance
c)
having fun...
just hope you have fun on the beach races. Dakar is a dream and yes Africa again,
But to answer your question, no there's no trucks in the bike class, i've done veronica's beach race in '83 '84 '85, le touquet in '92 and several others, and off course enduro nationals on open katoom's and 620's, last year in competition was back in '97, and ended in a wheelchair after severe crash, do you guys race Baja together with the trucks, and you;re planning to do the Dakar as well? its probably gonna be in Africa next year
I've been in between some just a few months ago, Honda Dakar europe Team, Mirjam Pol, some big trucks, didn't feel really comfy to tell you the truth, but i'm trying to put a team together to do the Dakar next year and Baja 500 is high on my list as well, if you're gonna be there, and i'm struggeling, i'll buy you a case of brewski, and admit to have been acting like an idiot, hows that sound?
That sounds fun, racing on the beach. As you know there are periods in Baja where you are on the beach? If you ask me, knowing you're on sand for 100 miles would be comforting knowing what's ahead. Sand. Are there trohpy trucks chasing you in these beach races?
So yes i've been at the grid next to guys like Harry Everts, Joel smets, Eric Geboers, etc just to name a few, pro's and also many amateurs, just guys that don't get paid to ride, and wouldn't feel offended
