My little boy took first over 40 pro....

Good for him. I know you worry about him racing but for some it's in their blood and it takes a long time to get it out. Here is hoping he stays safe.

Yes it was. Kenny boy got his bell rung. But he's only 5 points behind. Dungey needs to get it on.

Max Eddy crashed on his bike while going 90MPH.


"So glad I have some of the best sponsors that make the best equipment in this sport. If I did not have these EVS knee braces, I would not have a knee after my crash. Broke and bent this brace in a 90mph crash and my leg and knee is fine. I'm home safe and on the way to recovery. See u at the next race "

My son's team was tagged with a 30 minute penalty putting them back to second place over 40pro. Not sure what it was for yet.

Yep, 30 minutes for vcp violation. Looks like they must have missed 3 of them according to the size of the penalty. One of the riders crashed hard and tore up some stuff including ripping the rally tracker off the bike. He was able to find it and put it in his pack. It may have been damaged in the crash and not functioning properly. I'm sure he will check into it for the full story. He and the rest of his team are experienced Baja (SCORE) racers, I don't remember them ever getting penalized for anything, I'll report back when I hear the "the rest of the story"...

David,
Congrats to your son and his team......i guess your riding/parenting is showing its value !

Here's a photo sphere I took at RM65. When you first see the photo sphere, my black Tacoma is parked next to the course; the south end of Laguna Salada is in the distance. The wide track going off in the distance is the race course. You can see the water pipe/power line cross from right to left at RM65.47.

A photo sphere is like Google Street View - grab it and drag it to look around, up/down. Go nuts and zoom in/out.

Nice! Is that the same pipeline that is along the road from La Ventana to the wells in Arroyo Grande that supply the gold mine?

I think so. Yes to La Ventana, and I'm guessing yes to the gold mine. From here it runs maybe a half dozen miles west to a pump station.
