Bruce Meyers and his Manx.

A fun show! And it is still mostly all about the guys who sit in a roll cage the whole way. The bikes got a couple of minutes and a memorial. I wanted
more motorcycles!

It was very well done and better than previous TV shows that tried to show an 18 hour + race in 60 min. (incl. 15 min. of commercials)! The British
host kept calling it a 'rally', and saying it was 1000 miles long (even after the 800+ exact mile figure was mentioned, and special in that it was the
longest loop Baja 1000 ever).
Very nice tribute to the m/c racer who died, as well...

It was OK. Too bad they can't get someone to host it like when Bob Bower and Dave Despain did them. People that knew about off road racing and could
relate with the racers in telling a story.

Better than I expected
.. but, yeah, how about a narrator who knows what he's talking about? I thought they handled the memorial/tribute pretty well.
