 Hi, this is MXUX. This is a short video on the San Felipe 250 Lowers Town Endurance Baja Race. I got some information here that's not around elsewhere. Let's get started with this presentation. I think you'll like it. Okay, this is the basics on the race course. This is the race course here. I think you may have seen this is one loop. They only go around one time. It's about 290 miles. They're hoping not to charge. Initially, that's what they said. The range on the endurance is 250. So it's going to exceed the range. They're going to run a beta skateboard and the initial word was factory motors and battery off the line. So this is run by score, by the way, and this is not a small race. This is a baby brother to the Baja 1000 and these are the guys that run the Baja 1000. So this is in no way a minor race. This is a big deal. Anyway, they're going to have a modified body on the frame, battery, suspension, and motors of the endurance and I'm sure they're going to swap out of few suspension components as well. Probably raise the truck, put shocks on it. We'll go over this later. But it's going to be the basic four-wheel drive system. It's going to be a production proof of concept. We're going to have our full-time four-wheel drive independently controlled, hub motor at each wheel with traction control, torque vectoring, electronic stability control. It's going to put this propulsion system to the test and I think it's going to show very well because this is a very advanced propulsion system. I think it's the key to the truck actually. Anyway, I have here they're going to enter the production class. We're going to see. Surprised on that. Anyway, the balance of the platform, the range. Again, with these four-wheel motors and having the weight on the outside and the battery in the center, I mean this is a well balanced platform and I think it's going to do very well. I think people are underestimating and again, I have found out through my sources that this truck will go 120 miles an hour. A police interceptor will go about 130. This is a vast truck and very cool as well. The four-wheel drive is going to be a big deal here. Let's move on to the next slide. Initially, the word I got was that they're going to run stock full class. For those of you that don't know a lot about racing, they have different classes that they race. When you have a racetrack, you don't start in the morning and say, we're going to run the small cars first and let them all run. Then we're going to let the bigger cars run next and we're going to let them all run. When they're done, we're going to have the really big pro cars come on and they're going to run. That's not how they do it. They all run at the same time. There's different classes and they have rules and regulations. They have to follow and they do time trials. Everybody races at the same time. Your race class is important. Anyway, you can look this up for a better description than I can give. The point is they first announced they were going to run stock. If you look here, 5,000 units must have been produced in a 12-month period prior and available for sale to the general public. They don't fit stock full class. I have down here. It's hard to say this is the first electric vehicle ever entered. That's true. It is the first electric vehicle ever entered in this race. I believe it's the first electric vehicle entered in a Baja type race in the United States. There are EVs now. They have a world race of EV trucks that they're trying to put together. There's also a direct car run they do. I believe they had some EV vehicles in that in Africa. These were kind of experimentals. This certainly is the first production EV to race as the endurance is the first production EV pickup. This is first, first, first, first, first, first, first. Anyway, stock full class? No. LMC has its own race class. They created a race class just for Lord Stonemotors and the endurance. It's called Baja E electric vehicle. They are number E414. There is one vehicle in the class and it's the endurance. I think they're going to do real well in the time trials and they're going to start first in their class because they're going to be the only ones in their class. Anyway, we got two drivers here. The way they run this race is they have a driver and then they have like a second man in the cab who is a navigator and he keeps them on the course and tells them steer right, steer left, rocks on the right, turn coming up in 500 yards. If you watch the race videos you'll see. It's a lot like some of the rally races in Europe they do where they have like a spotter navigator guy sitting next to him. On reddit they're saying this is probably a father and son. Lord's time employees. So everybody's thinking, well, I don't know where they get these guys from. Anyway, they're going to be trained. The build team that's going to build up the truck I think is training them. They also are going to a race school for this kind of racing, I believe. But anyway, you know, who are these guys? Where they get them? They're from Salem, Ohio, which is right next to Lordstown, Ohio. So these are Midwestern Ohio boys, guys, okay? Looks like a father and son team. I wonder if they know anything about racing. Well, let's see. There's a history of racing in this area. I'm not sure if these guys are involved, but they very well could have been. And they may have some race experience. I don't know. I'm going to speculate here based on some information I have on this area. But let's let's just get this is kind of the exclusive for this video. So let's let's move on to the next. There's a local racing history here. Not far from Lordstown is Nelson Ledges Road Race course. And this is a two mile long road race course that's I think it opened up in 58. And this is a big time course. And this big time race road road race course. And this was on on the circuit SEA circuit may race GTO, GTU, GTP, GT, you know, all the GT classes and they also had a showroom stock class you could race with a you put a roll bar and a net in the window and you could take your car out and you could drive it on the weekend. And now this this track in recent years, as I understand it, what has happened is this was out in the country. And they ended up building some pretty nice homes out in the country there. And the noise abatement was a problem. They were complaining about the noise. I don't know if any of you have ever gone to a road race. But you know, you can hear there are no mufflers in a road race. So you can hear the cars revving and racing, you know, for five miles as you're driving up on the place and loud. So anyway, in recent years, they've limited the racing. They still do racing here. They still have racing here. They do different. They do a 24 hour production race here where they take production vehicles. And they it's like a Le Mans race for production vehicles and it's showroom stock and they have regular exhaust systems and so forth. And they drive for 24 hours. It's a pretty big deal here. But just going over this road race, it's a too long a two mile long road race asphalt road race class over rolling slight rolling hills. I think there's there's a really long back straight away. And anyway, a lot of people have raced here. And I'm just going to go through some of these names. Michael Andretti went to driver's school here, Peter Cunningham, Michael Galate, and a lot of celebrities have raced here. And I'll just go over some of these names. John Oates of Holland Oates, Tom Cruz, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman used to race his what did he race? I think he had a Nissan or Toyota, which was a GTO car, I believe road racing car. He used to race here all the time. And as I understand it, he grew up not far from here. So and you can see here that Newman used to hang around and drink with everybody. And as I understand it, he's a great guy. We're great guy. I actually have a Paul Newman story, which I'm not going to tell you. But anyway, I like Paul Newman, he's a great guy or was a great guy, and he was a great racer. And this was a serious race track. And this is, you know, I don't know, 10 minutes from Lordstown. They might have had the Lordstown endurance out here. Who knows, right? I got word that they're out this they're they're out running this thing on a track at 120 miles an hour. Was this the track? You certainly could reach those speeds here. So this is one of the one of the tracks. Now let me just go. I also have Sharon Speedway, which is also not that far, perhaps a little bit farther. And this I'm going to play this video. This is this is a dirt track racing. These are the outlaw cars. And this is a dirt track oval racing. And it's very exciting. And, you know, many, many, many, many, many, many people do this type of racing in this area. When you drive around, you see, I guess you see race cars on trailers and people's driveways. So there's a lot of backyard mechanics that do this kind of racing. And who knows if these guys are involved? We have no idea. But Lordstown might be sandbagging. Maybe they are. Maybe they are. I'm just saying. Okay, let's do the next slide. Now this is the team that's going to build out the Endurance skateboard. Now you're going to have the skateboard, you're going to have the frame, the battery, and the propulsion, the wheel hub motors and the suspension, which as you can see here, they lift these suspensions, they put special socks on them. That's a thing they do. I think they might have changed the length of the control arms and stuff. But this is the kind of modifications they're going to do. Also wheels and tires. Okay. There's a picture at the end. But these are the car builders. These are the two brothers that are going to build out this car. They've been building cars for 12 years. And they started at the bottom working on other race teams and learning how to build trucks. And then they finally had their own race team and they race for a while. And they built their own shop. And now they have, you know, they have about 12 years in this in this racing business. And they have raced and anyway, they built all classes of trucks. They they build the trophy trucks, they build all kinds of things. You can check out their website. It's pretty interesting. You can look at their history. They build a lot of winning trucks, a lot of them. And they ain't fooling around. You can see they're kind of serious there. They're kind of serious about the race. That's how these racers are, right? They're serious. Anyway, if you ever been to the races, you see the look on their eyes. The only other time I've seen that look is if you go to the PGA tour, some of the some of the golfers have that look that like, I will kill you look. Anyway, these guys are from Temecula, California, their brothers. And they look to be pretty crackerjack. And they the main thing is their winners, they build winning trucks. So they're building out the endurance. This is the only rendering. And this is a rendering. This isn't the real thing. So this is computer generated. But this is what they think it's going to look like. Or this is what Lordstown has has released. It's going to have the regular skateboard, the regular motors, okay, this body panels, you know, with these modifications are going to be on here. You can see the safety equipment, they're going to have five point harnesses, racing seats, roll bar, there'll be probably fire suppression stuff, although I don't know that. Oh, I guess they could use it. Who knows. But this is going to have, you know, the beta beta drive platform. And that's what we're testing here. And it's going to be the proof of concept. And it's going to show all the doubters out there that this is a great truck. And I'll tell you, the computer controlled four wheel drive on this truck is very advanced. You know, the traction control, the torque vectoring, these hub motors, the full time independent four wheel motors, I mean, electronic stability control, I'm repeating myself here, but this is this is the unique selling point of this truck. And, you know, Lordstown Motors owns this IP, at least for this application on a truck. And on this skateboard, in any case, in North America, and I think this is going to make the difference for Lordstown Motors, it does make the difference for Woodstone Motors. And it also simplifies the truck, you know, a lot of these trucks, if you watch these races, they have park failures, a lot of times, break a drive shaft, very common to break a drive shaft, for example, it's not going to be an issue with this truck. So I think it's going to perform well, whether it can go without doing the charge. I don't know if it does a charge, it does a charge, but even with the charge, it's going to be the first, first, first, first, first new, new first TV to do this race. So I'm very excited to watch the race on TV. I hope the truck gets some coverage. Anyway, guys, I wanted to get this news out. And some of that inside information I have, by the way, as I said, I got information this truck is going 120 miles on the track. Police interceptor Crown Victoria go 130. This is a fast truck with a cool propulsion system. I think it's going to do well. Anyway, guys, that's it. Thanks for watching. I hope I gave you a couple bunch of information here you can't get elsewhere. And you can check out some videos on this race online. I appreciate you guys taking a look. This is MXUX. Thanks for watching.
