you couldn't make this chit up! listen to tavo's account of this "fan" fooling around with his front bumper. and with the reckless driving thru the
spectators! stay tuned.
The simple truth behind this video is that we have no reason to pit on the highway, risk our chances of winning our second Baja 1000 & defrauding
the fans by doing something like this. This truck was not part of the Vildosola Racing chase crew, pit crew or otherwise. If we had an issue, where we
needed to stop, prior to this happening we had our second pit (next to BFG) on the Puertecitos Highway section. Again, why would I risk breaking, a
well known rule, which we have been accused of before (2011 Baja 500) pitting on the highway...These fans pulled in-front of us while we were running
down the highway, Javi and I thought they were taking pictures, once we realized they were messing with our front bumper, I tried to move left but the
other truck had boxed us in. Plus the guy was grabbing our front bumper, If we would have broken or swerved, then he would have fallen and as many of
you describe, the situation would have been 1,000,000 times worst. As you can tell, on the video, as they are pulling away, the guy in Spanish is
saying "go, go, go"!!! They were definitely trying to do something...Our next pit was at Coco's, we have video evidence that we stopped there to check
what these guys had tried to do...
Vildosola Racing does not have a history of cheating, we have never cheated and would never risk a Baja 1000 by pitting on the highway, I would have
just stopped at our the Puertecitos pit a couple of miles before...
We will be on radio tonight addressing the same questions about our indisputable win at the Baja 1000

SCORE may need to consider the old-school NASCAR philosophy of whomever the fans saw win on Sunday, remains on the books as the winner. But that
didn't stop the winner from being fined, and/or losing some (or all) of their season points due to infractions found/determined after the race was
over.
The problem SCORE's going to have however is that has not been the precedent set previously by them under such circumstances.

My solo B1K moto pal was rear ended by a TT during the race. He commented on this at the podium.

Hey Sweetwater......did this occur just north of the El Arco pit? I think I remember this guy coming in for gas at El Arco saying he had been rear
ended by a TT.

Not to excuse the drivers actions, BUT camping on the outside of a sharp turn, when you know many racers, at high speed in the dark dark, will be
coming by all night. Really!

I have to give you that one,, when we was down watching, we got to a spot just S. of San Felipe, where the race came in thru the desert, so alot of
people drove out and parked and then the spectators parked and pulled there chairs out and sat with in feet of the race course, it only took one out
of control car coming thru for the light to come on that this is not good,, so I removed myself and wife to a more safe distant, it wasnt 5 mins later
that a car coming thru lost control and plowed in the crowed and ran over 2 brothers
