Thanks Paul.

Thinking of Loreto 400 and posibly the Dos Mares race right now.

Paulclark - 1-9-2010 at 07:24 PM

We are hoping to run the whole series, pre-ran the Cabo del Este yesterday -- It will be fast, lots of smooth road and long straight streches.

fishbuck - 1-9-2010 at 07:30 PM

Help me out here guys.
Which race is shortest?
I'm a motocrosser.
But I'd like to try Baja desert racing.
But motocross is better! :cool:

Paulclark - 1-9-2010 at 07:36 PM

The 250 races are the shortest -- about 150 miles. The track races usually have motorcycles first and run 10 - 1 mile laps.

rts551 - 1-9-2010 at 07:45 PM

It looked fast from the pre run pics I saw. I'll look you up when we run one of the races in that circuit.

I think Desert racing is more fun for the racer...Less so for the spectator.

Like Paul says they are usually 150 miles and up.

fishbuck - 1-9-2010 at 07:53 PM

150 miles? No way.
But 10 one mile "loops"?
Maybe :coolup:

rts551 - 1-9-2010 at 07:55 PM

Some people swap riders. get a partner

fishbuck - 1-9-2010 at 07:56 PM

Maybe something like Grand Prix motocrcross?
Man you desert guys are tough!

rts551 - 1-9-2010 at 07:59 PM

Paul

One of our circuit riders from Vizcaino, Chinea, took a real hard tumble in the Cabo Grand Prix. The videos are circulating UTUBE since the ATV did multiple spactacular flips through the air.

Paulclark - 1-9-2010 at 08:06 PM

I saw that tumble and it was spectacular -- hope he came out of it okay.

He did. But he is selling his ATV. He asked if he could run with my son in some of the longer races...otherwise he s moving to a Pickup.

I like having a cage around me -- If I am upside down I want to be in it, not under it.

fishbuck - 1-9-2010 at 08:35 PM

I'm sticking with motocross!
There is a nice track in San Quintin. It on a rancho.
Maybe I'll start a motocross school there.
Maybe I can get "Trophy Girls" from the local "Ladies Bar".
Santana's I think it's called.

rts551 - 1-9-2010 at 08:40 PM

Fishman - you can take them to the desert. But you would have to change your name....

fishbuck - 1-9-2010 at 08:50 PM

Yeah... well I'll try some desert... I have friends that do it.
But I ain't changing my name...

It's Fish... buck...

Mr Fishbuck to you! :cool:

rts551 - 1-9-2010 at 08:55 PM

Yessir Mr Fis...buck...

Try the desert its fun

fishbuck - 1-9-2010 at 09:05 PM

Okay, I'll try it.

Mr. rts551:yes:

Some of the best desert racers are former MX guys. They usually handle the rough stuff a little better. Some desert racers use MX as training, like Paul Krause.
