The Trophy Trucks will start about 11:30am (4 hrs after the last bike) and it's about 270 miles to Gonzaga Bay. It's also a fast course but with a 60mph limit on the paved hwys. So my guess is the first bike will be thru at about 11am. The first 4 wheeler at about 4pm. That's based on a 60mph average for both the bike and car. Frankly I expect the first TT or car to beat the bikes on average speed. But I haven't seen some of the sections that may slow down the cars more than the bikes. Three bikes that could beat the cars on spped are Kendall Norman 1X and David Pearson 7X and Colton Udal 8X. They are all factory riders, Norman and Udall on Hondas and Pearson riding with Mike Childress and Steve Hingefelt (sp) on a KTM.

I am really, really surprised that they are running on the new highway south of Puertecitos... San Felipe businesses must really have a lot of pull on Sal after the fiasco with the 250 a couple years ago! :rolleyes:

I would have bet a run south in the hills east of San Quintin and either along the Seven Sisters or swing up to Chapala and Coco's Corner then south to L.A. Bay... :light:

Yea that SF250 race really cost the town a lot of money and really for no reason except a power play and ego. Sal likes to run the same stuff, I think so he doesn't have to deal with new people that may want more. Running the hwy is pretty easy for him now especially with the tracker system. I'm sure San Felipe loves it too. I know a lot of chasers that are glad it goes to SF as thats about as far as they want to go. There are just over 200 entries so far and SCORE expects about 300 by race day.
