That is a very astute observation. Thanks for nailing that down. You are correct as to the behavior and overzealous activities amongst some(few) crews, be it in the pits, the chase , or the planners and mappers. It's no secret or mystery and not often a big deal. It has something to do with adrenaline and testoterone but is not limited to men. Heck yeah people want to experience a thrill along side the racers and rarely it ends sadly or tragically. It is also obvious that we fuel each other with the excitement and participation. As in any sport however, because of the competitive element, accidents spill over onto the spectators, crews and anything else in close proximity. This is inherent in any sport where machines are flying around a course. Even a skier out of control is very dangerous. This display of machismo and talent is fine in a controled spin but it's the amatuers that usually create big problems, be it on the race course or at the bar in Ensenada. I've seen it. I still feel though that anyone going against the flow on any race course is gambling and they know they are. You can't tell me that isn't a major concern when they(anyone) do it.

Right on, It`s the chase cars here in Mulege,
Hell were 40 miles from the action and the crews come through here way fast, important and out of control.

My comments above are just to give another view on the sad accident. If you read my post more carefully, you will see I also was on Carlos' side...


No, many people in my community see your post as follows:

1) A hijack by Dr. Baja.
2) A slam against all racers.
3) No alignment whatsoever to Carlos.

You are the only person that has made this statement and, as if you bear some level of credence via your single, aborted race attempt back in the early seventies this grandstanding is no surprise


Really, than it is good I did make it... You really need to see the world from more than one point of view.


1) You are not the representative to speak on anyone's behalf on this matter. Especially the Mexican people.

2) Your comment came across direct and to the point that "all racers are reckless, uncarring and think that Baja is their rightful playground".
