Hey, DK, you forgot the Negra Modelo.

Hi Lera,
No... I didn't forget THAT! LOL
Negra Modelo was the official sponsor of the 1979 SCORE Baja 1000 (this was the first year SCORE ran the 1000 to La Paz).
I drank way too much Negra Modelo the night before the '79 Baja 1000 (I was a co-driver)... After we blew up the differential and were out of the
race... I threw up all the Negra Modelo and then some! Never had that stuff again! 
Just FYI 
Photo of me pre-running in our Class 6 race car... I was 22!

Well, that's certainly a very good reason for dissing my beer of preference, so I'll forgive ya.
I envy your race care experience. Those things look like such fun, and that NOISE. I've always wanted to roar around the boonies in one.

It was a dream I had (to be in the Baja 1000)... My dad took me to Ensenada and then out past Ojos Negros to see the '73 Baja 1000...
I went to the first SCORE Baja race The '74 Baja Internacional and probably every race after that...
In '78 I went to Nuevo Junction to watch the SCORE Baja Internacional ('Baja 500') and met some of the Los Campeones pit team crew there... who
invited me to assist (I got to hold the fire extiguisher during fueling)...
I soon became a pit captain for Los Campeones pits at Baja and The Parker 400 races... One of their race members invited me to be his co-driver for
the 1000...
So, if you want something bad enough, then put yourself on the track to make it happen.
