There was a big rig tractor that raced the Baja 1000 in 1994. It was setup to send data back to the Manufacture via satellite. I think it only went
about 180 miles. I don't remember what went wrong if anything.vgabndo - 5-15-2014 at 02:38 PM
I'm not so sure I'd want to be in front of it!! 900 HP 4x4. They did well in the Dakar.

how true! hopefully we'll get to see him again when he's feeling better! this from
his facebook page.
It whas not my day, or better not my week. it started 1,5 week ago with a appendix inflammation, i had surgery and thay took it out. i thought it is
nothing and the truck already is in the us so lets go and try to race. last Thursday (2nd day of reconnaissance), i got real pain of my groin /
kidneys. so pills in and lets race. it went ok, already overtook 6 car but after 50k i could not stand the pain any more, trowing up and almost
passing out of the pain, and the bad part of the road had still to come.
wait till the peed off ejido lady see's these comin!
