Sorry to hear about your son Willard, I hope his recovery continues. Where was he racing?

MC racing is stupid dangerous but it gets in your blood. Chad has been racing since he was 14 years old. He has been fortunate to have raced at the level that he does without having been seriously injured. He says he is through with Baja, I hope he can stick with that. It's difficult for me on race day, especially when he races in Baja.

Good luck to all the racers tomorrow, let's hope everyone finishes healthy.

Extremely rough course did a number on 1517 . Flat BFG, busted brake line, torque converter then gave up so no finish for Ross and Josh this time. The good news is they want Josh to race all of the 2015 BITD races including the Mint 400 and Vegas to Reno.

BITD doesn't have race3 results up, how did the boy do? :?:

Chad and Kyle finished first 40+ pro.

When the rest of the 40+ pro's saw their name on the entry list they didn't bother showing up, guess they didn't want to spend the time and money to fight over second place :lol:

Co drivers from Vail Arizona, my other town.... first in car 1520 (Jimco).
7:56:29

Teams all the way from Australia finished 3rd and 5th in class 1500...good for them.

This is good for our Vail team since 24 cars finished in class 1500.

Congrats boys.

NO WAYYYY David that a "BFG went flat"-----that sounds like one of those unfounded in fact rumors that the detractors are ALWAYS trying to foist off on us!!! Perhaps a TOYO radical enthusiastic terrorist ran a stiletto thru it.

But, congrats to Josh-----that is really neat!!!

Good question... that post and others that are duplicating where made from my Android Phone... so maybe Doug knows why the new software is causing phone posts to duplicate? I have been going back and deleting the duplicates when I see them. I am on my PC at the moment, and it generally doesn't cause a duplication.

Yea!?? So what's up DK? If someone else does this you snipe all over them?

David K - 12-8-2014 at 05:55 PM

A-OK, I don't know what you are trying to say or what that no sunshine symbol means? But if I were to guess what you are after, this is my response:

Baja Nomads is about Baja or Nomads. Off Road racing was born in Baja, and I said so in the opening post. I am a Nomad and my step-son's racing was something I thought I would share. Many Nomads know Josh and his work at Stewart's Raceworks on Baja race trucks and luxury Raptors and other prerunners. Lot's of non-Baja and politically motivated stuff goes on here, I thought this was something more fun and sun shinny to share. Look at how many others had something also to share in this thread. Peace, Love and Fish Tacos a-okay?

Now, how about posting something OFF ROAD here that involves Baja or Nomads in some way? It's supposed to be a family place, so join the family!

rts551 - 12-8-2014 at 06:25 PM

A-OK I see you are no newby.... and can probably do without the lecture of joy and cheer.... NO KOOKS!

And I thought this forum was all about Baja :?:

So I guess we can start posting about anything related to our Nomads :light:

Once again, DK is here to educate the minnions :rolleyes:

Plenty of posts about Nomads in the hospital or doing projects or some other events that are not Baja. It's the people that count... Baja is the reason but the people are the Nomads. Putting people first! That there are posts you don't want to read does NOT take space away from those you do want to read. That may be hard for some to understand. It's like the economy, it isn't a finite 'pie' with only so many pieces available.
