B1K '07
I may be the only person on the Nomad board who is pouting because they're stateside and not down in Baja for the race.
But, just in case there are others out there in the same situation, I thought I'd post a few photos that were emailed to me late this afternoon.
These are from today's Contingency. I asked for more, but I have a feeling that Monday night football is taking precedence!
A wheelchair with attitude:
"Munchie's" car:
Pabloff's car:
Because we want to keep our truck, the boys hitched a ride into Ensenada with a friend, then took a taxi home at the end of the day.
Tomorrow they may take the "Micro" to get to the start.
Like I said, wishing I were there.

Too funny EGL, I didn't even notice that boy! I was too busy noticing how their eye shadow make up was a perfect color match to their tops, and
wondering if the girl on the right was wearing pony tails!
It's a girl thing I guess....
They have more photos, but MNF and a dinner invite to one of the race crew's houses took priority.
Next year lets make sure that we ALL go south, Baja south that is!

Bajawife,
So I'm not the only one missing out! What is your husband's #, and are you listening along to Weatherman as well?
Link provided, although I'm sure you probably already have it.

Well, you're not the only one missing the action. I just couldn't justify taking this week AND next week off also. Otherwise I'd be down there with
my amigo at the Catavina BFG pit. Oh well... like you said, next year for sure.

2:10 Code red. Helicopter just went down near Mike's Sky Rancho.
2 fatalities, 2 critical.
Lots of confusion regarding the helo crash. The two fatalities were in the copter, 2 critical injuries were spectators.

not good!!!!!!!!!!
:09 pm CHASE HELICOPTER DOWN AT MIKE'S SKY RANCH ROAD, 1/2 mile from Hwy 3
2 fatalities; first thought to be McMillan Air Copter - they are confirmed OKAY. Was chase helicocopter for team #133, Warrior Racing. ID took a
while to confirm. "Too wadded up to tell..."
Fatalities were pilot and co-pilot; two local spectators on the ground critically injured.
Hwy will be shut down for rescue helicopters to land.

Wow, I didn't know anyone died in the helo crash. I left the Trinidad area about 4pm and had heard there were two injured in the crash. The helo was
refueled by the 133 chase team at El Jamual about 15 minutes before the crash. I was next to their pit and helped them tear down and followed them out
and heard of the crash on the weatherman channel. At the time they said there were two injured and being taken to the BFG pit at Mike's turn off. When
I drove by there were red lights at the wreck about a 1/4 mile down Mike's road from hwy 3. I wonder if it was fuel related?

Thanks Paulina. That's really bad when anyone dies, especially in an accident like that. They may have been following their race car. It pitted just
after the helo took off.
