Do you have any idea what classes they have?

I hope to be down there by then...

atv novice, atv pro, moto sportsman, moto pro, class9 , class 5/1600, class 6, class 8, class 7s, class 17. There will be a huge turn out in class 7, trucks, and should be a great battle.3 of them just finished the SF 250 coast to coast. Stop by if you make it down.

Wow! That's a lot of classes.

Provided everything goes well with flying down there, I intend to come and spectate.

How did this turn out? No Sportsman buggy class? :(

willyAirstream - 1-27-2017 at 11:27 AM

It was a great event! 8 class 7s, 4 class 8s and 5 class 6s plus lots of motos and quads. Photo finish for pro quads. Won by inches.

sportsman buggys are thrown into class 9. 6 of us. Priemer lugar para mi :)

Next short course race is on a new track "the Plain", 1/2 mile from the La Balanza track. this one is approx 4km. Very nice track! Feb 19th Should be an even bigger turn out.

Great. Thank you for the update. I like the idea of mixing Sportsman Buggies and Class 9. Less dust to eat ;-)

Were you running Sportsman or 9? I've got a long, long, long way to go with our current buggy, but hope to run a LS3 in it. Won't have short course gearing, but with a 5 speed, I think I will manage (not that it even matters, it's just about fun).

most of the cars running in our local races , GN to Loreto, in class 9 are technically class 15 sportsman buggy. some have a arms, ecotecs, pinto engines, modified / altered brakes suspension etc. Mine is a vintage Funco with a 2276 type 1. I would be class 15 in the larger races, La Paz, Cabo etc. LS3 ...probably just leave it in 3rd jajajaja, Got any pics or are you on FB?

Slow process just below this thread. In Mulege, so you know, well, knew Ramsey, I assume. He was my Fox hook-up. Months after ordering all my bypasses through him, I found out the bad news. His business partner helped me out though (Fox lost the order, then it took forever, but front bypasses (the only ones I'm still waiting on) will finally arrive Monday).

on FB, but you can't find me. How do I find you? Pm works if you'd rather.
