Living in Indio in the early '70s, a friend who owned a Sandrail invited us along for a weekend at Glamis. All of those wild, crazy (and often inebriated) high speed drivers combined with the added dimension of (sometimes) zero ability to know what was coming .................... I was never tempted to go back.


I rode my RM250 out in Glamis a few times, a lot of fun, but definitely pretty scary with all the traffic. Had to keep your head on two swivels.

Great words from a great Baja adventurer! Adding to my signature...Thanks, David!

With age comes a cage,
along with an ambulance standing by in the paddock of the racetrack.
This is what is at every sanctioned car club race event I've participated in or I don't go.

High performance driving or riding is NOT safe at all, full 10/10 commitment at anytime, anywhere is even riskier.
R.I.P , see ya on the other side
