Hi Cap - email always works. Nomads PM?? Who knows.
Nothing but tentative. Thinking about ARR BOLA 29th to watch that stage of the rally arrive. Gonzaga will be under water. Rancho Grande...well you
know....rocks city...i consider it emergency use only TBHWY
No rooms anywhere. NORRA might want me to fly some camera/film guys but I only have 2 seats left. I didn't sign up when they canvassed for planes on
BBP some months ago but one of my friends here was selected for one of the 4 planes they said they'd pay for - all expenses that is. Then NORRA called
me last week and asked if I would still be interested.
Just an attempt at chasing the baja sun and a party....
;^)
So - if I go we'll do MMNG to enter and gas, then BOLA, hang out all night if rooms, if not allow an hour of light and skip to PSFO or MULEGE for the
nite. Hit ?? for next 2 nites then go home Sunday, thru OLS. DVT.
My backer just retired, has a high value very tricked and modded RAM 210 he will not let into baja anymore and an Aztruck he just rebuilt ground up
but only takes it when he needs lots of seats like for flying sams.

Mike, did you pilots get the ' Bahia de L.A, airport is officially open' notification you said was needed from the San Felipe AOE people?

good Q DK - here's the fax:
officially the airport remains closed under DGAC NOTAM from Mexico City (their FAA equivalent)
but as Airmech here and others have confirmed, planes seem to go in and out regularly with no upset from federales staged there.
NORRA is aware of this and wants to do everything by the book - so they have sent a list of the planes going there 29th for the rally (including mine)
to DGAC for the permission to land much as is being done by the Sams who go in monthly.
Even tho i may or may not get there either as part of NORRA or as an independent, Mike Pearleman had the courtesy to call and get my vitals to add to
his letter to Mexico city.

We didn't make it to CowPattys. We stopped at KM38 where about 30 of our neighbors parked at the Dipchit dip. The first car by was the yellow number 1
Blazer of Parnelli Jones. Mark McMillan stopped and gave us a dozen posters.
We BBQed carne asada and pollo asada which was tastier than hot dogs at CP's. Lots of vintage race cars and some newer ones.

by the way...NORRA didn't do squat for having race updates etc daily on their site. lame if you ask me.
next time they need to hire Dirt-Newz.com to cover it by contract.
those guys know how to cover a race! like the recent Rip 2 the Tip w/ Desert Assassins MC tour. Classic pix, vids and live updates.
Sahuaro Films has it together too.

Mike, I believe there was a marketing reason for that omission.

NORRA (as you can see by the video) was trying to get back to the roots of Baja off road racing (1967-1972)... and there was no 'live' coverage of the
races back then! Motos mixed in with trucks and buggies, and even a side car! Fun stuff...

Not exactly. This was what it was, a bit of nostalgia. Then too, this 'race' was completed in stages, certainly not a copy of the first races:
point-to-point, first-man-wins, last-guy-loses types of races.
This particular event might be compared to various "historic car" races. It's just fun seeing some of the old machinery going through the paces—but
not at race speed.
As I have heard from friends 'trackside' the competitors "toured by" and "slower than many of the residents who use the road regularly". By the same
token I have a video (via e-mail) of a couple of entries getting into a dice of sorts.
Still, I'm sorry that I missed it.
