I know there's been discussions on bajanomad about personal locator devices. If you haven't seen one in action, here's your opportunity this Friday
through Sunday.
On Friday June 6, I'm headed to San Felipe for the purpose of pitting COPS Racing in the Baja 500 - I'll power-up my SPOT Tracker at around 7 a.m. On
Saturday, I'll head to a secure, undisclosed pit location, and as soon as our Trophy Truck, Class 1 and Class 10 get past me, I'll head back to the
hotel. Early Sunday morning, we'll depart for home in SoCal with a one-hour respite along the border fence in Tecate.
The SPOT Tracker will only be powered on while we're in/near the chase truck. I'll kill the link below after the weekend.
My location is updated every 10 minutes with the latest entry at the top of the list on the left. Clicking on any one of the left entries will center
that entry location on the map. Click on the map icon to see more information about that location.
Happy tracking!

There's currently only one location marker on the map (I went to El Pollo Loco for lunch) - the real fun begins tomorrow morning.jureal - 6-5-2014 at 04:51 PM
I can't believe that we were that close to you today at lunch. We ate at In N Out Burgers in the Costco parking lot at noon... lolAteo - 6-5-2014 at 05:46 PM
Dude, I was at the new Chevron station on Rose and Lincoln in Venice working today. Missed you by about 5 blocks. Good luck this weekend.David K - 6-5-2014 at 07:14 PM

We were hanging out with Checkers (always awesome group of guys) ~RM292, and yes, the TTs and 1s were impressively fast. 292 was on the southern end
of dry Laguna Diablo - the course came south along the western shore, made a square turn east, thru Check 4, then back north along the eastern shore
(where we were).
A bunch of cows wandered onto the course and I got to ride roundup in my Tacoma. The Weatherman was reporting the cows as a hazard to racers at RM290
and mentioned that a white pickup was herding the cows away from the course (unsure how he knew that).
Luckily, the wind gods were usually kind to us. I'll post some photos later today or tomorrow.David K - 6-8-2014 at 02:59 PM
Great... I was totally out of the loop this race, and don't even know who the class winners are.StuckSucks - 6-8-2014 at 06:07 PM
Fog over Punta Estrella Saturday morning.
Pitting with Checkers near RM292, El Diablo in the background. Days were low 100s with light to moderately gusty winds.
Bryce Menzies, the first Trophy Truck across the finish line.
Jason Voss, second place TT.
The Parkhouse Class 1 was the first to finish in class.
Our pits had a great view of the course.

Thanks!
The cows were very indifferent about about cars going by at triple-digit speeds.BajaRun - 6-11-2014 at 07:51 AM
It was a long race for many racers. Cars were still coming though rm 245 at 5am sunday ..
