I haven't tried the link provided above, but my direct log-on with RDC for W-man is working fine. I'm not doing any tracking at this point (no 'personal' reason this time) but may later in the day.

Kamloops is still represented:

"...ok we still have big Al Perrett in the race on Richard Jackson's team,along with Bill Nichols,I'm not sure of the number, but there are only 2 entry's in plus 60...."

Al and Bill are pals from way back....Al is 73 or 74 years old and rides circles around most folks....hardcore team ! :cool:

Real cluster#@() going on right now. Conflicting reports about a jack-knifed truck blocking the course at ~ RM 4.5. Talk about a re-start for TTs????

Someone on RDC pointed out how much this change in start time will affect the pits where light-bars are to be set. The guess is that some of the lower classes will be in the dark by RM60. Hope their lights are all set at the Start.

Allen R

P.S. Just heard someone on WM talk about getting a light-bar BACK to RM 77.

ok - i can get wild bill now and hear WX man on his feed.

13 TTs went off but they are bringing them all back and a restart cause a semi is blocking the course.

they are going to move the start line to beyond where the semi is causing the course problem.

go to live action and click on the BFG race relay 12 link. it is Wild Bill on top of that mountain they base every race, mt. Diablo i think it is.

i still can't get the WX man feed of RDC.

just reported the locals built a huge unsafe jump on the course RM 577 by Erindera sp? and they need Score officials or cops to go take it down.

Hey back atcha, Mike.

I can't understand why some (actually a lot) of folks are not getting WX feed. My PC is ancient (12-years old) and I'm having no trouble with any of the feeds. The video was down for a while during the re-start, but is supposed to be back up after the 'situation' is re-solved.

Wow! WX is being inundated with calls. Bob's going to need some help at some point.

The 'jump' at RM 577 doesn't look good either.

They have a spot off the Observatory road and Bob (Weatherman) parks by the telescopes (or used to)... that is at 9,280 feet ASL, and about 5+ miles WNW of Diablo Mountain.

Latest news go to DirtNewz, here is a sample:


1:07 DIRTNEWZ: Check out our latest interviews from the starting line! http://fb.me/1fCCXJHDw [via Twitter]
Friday November 18, 2011 1:07 DIRTNEWZ

1:06 DIRTnewz: Just scroll to the top of this page to view our video gallery!!

Friday November 18, 2011 1:06 DIRTnewz
1:04 DIRTnewz: Check out our updated videos from the start!!

http://dirtnewz.com/events-11/baja1000/live.shtml

Friday November 18, 2011 1:04 DIRTnewz
1:01 DIRTnewz: The Trophy Trucks started the race at 12:23 with Jesse James first off the "new" starting line. The class 1's and rest of the vehicles are still sitting here waiting to start the race. It's been almost an hour since the trophy trucks took off the line and the class 1 racers aren't happy! Hey at least the lead cars won't have dust.

Unfortunately the smaller classes will be racing mostly in the dark. This messes up plans for a ton of people. Racers already have their light bars down at Borrego as they planned to put lights on there and have no way of having their chase crews relocate. Due to the two hour delay in start time racers will either have to survive with minimal lighting or relocate their chase crews and light bars...yikes!

Friday November 18, 2011 1:01 DIRTnewz
12:48 DIRTnewz: Breauxman reports:

Through RM 274 baja Pits 7: 1x 11:50
11x 11:54 (still 1 min from the lead- time adjusted)

Expanded through RM 240:
1x 11:11
11x
0x
9x
105x Insley
202x
14x
400x
101x
500x 12:24

Friday November 18, 2011 12:48 DIRTnewz
12:45 DIRTnewz: Class 1's are starting their engines FINALLY about to start the 44th Tecate SCORE Baja 1000

Friday November 18, 2011 12:45 DIRTnewz
12:44 DIRTnewz: The official restart of the Trophy Trucks was at 12:23

Friday November 18, 2011 12:44 DIRTnewz
12:41 DIRTnewz: The class 1's are still sitting at the starting line. We just talked to Mike Childress and his co-driver who have been here for over two hours just sitting waiting to start the race.

The smaller classes will basically race this race in complete darkness once they finally take the green flag!



12:29 DIRTnewz: Trophy Trucks have just restarted the Baja 1000!! This is going to be a LONG race!


12:14 DIRTnewz: 15 minutes until Sal will be back at the starting line to restart the class 1 cars. Sal Fish went out past the meyhem to restart the Trophy Trucks and will then head back here to the starting line to start the rest of the vehicles. This has already delayed the race an hour since the original start time.


12:10 DIRTnewz: Breauxman reporting leaders through RM 244

1x cleared at 11;11
11 cleared at 11:15
Puts 11x 1 min. behind 1x on time adjusted

11:59 DIRTnewz: Change of plans already...SCORE officials will be parading the Trophy Trucks out past where the obstruction is and they will start out there. We will let you know once this race gets underway
Friday November 18, 2011 11:59 DIRTnewz

11:50 DIRTnewz: There is a delay at the starting line. A tractor trailer has blocked the race course about a mile off the start after only 13 trucks took off the line. SCORE officials have made the decision to bring the 13 trucks back to the starting line and do the start ALL over again!
