GO STEEKERS GO!
Michael 'steekers' will be racing a silver two seat 1835cc buggy in the SCORE LITE catagory... racer #1212
Yesterday, I stopped by to give him some 'good luck' stickers for the race car... So, those of you going to the San Felipe 250 on March 15, look for
both my 'got baja?' and Doug's 'Baja Nomad' stickers... or should I say "steekers"?!!!
GOOD LUCK 'STEEKERS'!!!!

I searched the Internet for the race results and found them on the Race-Dezert.com News forum. I see that 'steekers' did finish the race inside the
alloted time... which is a great thing in any Baja race.... alas, not in the top spot!
Any news on how Paul (tuna eater) Lopez did in the sportsman m/c class? The Race-Dezert post only had the first place finisher in that class.

I think I got a photo of them coming by us at RM 84. I'll post it if I did.

we placed 10th
Hello all...we got back late last night (Tues) and really tired. My body is still sore from all those whoops!
To just finish a race course as rough as this one is a great accomplishment. We had an electrical problem coming out of Matomi wash and that cost us
1.5 hrs! Other than that we had no other issues. OOPS, forgot to mention a bolt to the power steering unit came out and had to deal with the huge
vibrations of manual steering. No flat tires!! The BFG Baja T/A held up well. We had no lights, so I radioed ahead to my team (Joanne, Jim) at check
point 4 (RM214) to hand me a flashlight to make the finish line. WOW! all thoses super bright lights coming at you makes it hard to see where your
going. My daughter Bryanne got in at Baja Pit #4 (RM 169) and very proud of her. Good job Bry!
Thanks to all those who helped by just being there to watch.
Thanks Lou for those parts we needed. What a great guy to know.
Thanks Chuck for coming out to see our un-finished casa at El Dorado. Thanks for the fish tacos on the Malecon.
I must now sell my awesome race car and get the house done. Too many distractions.
Thanks to all!
I look forward to the next Baja adventure, whatever it may be.

Nice to see you guys the other day and for the tour of your new home. Good luck with the buggy and trailer sale, it's a nice set-up everyone, if your
looking for a near new enclosed trailer and a Baja tested buggy.
Mike, you should run an ad on Classified when you get closer to selling.
Good luck on your house project! See you soon.
Chuck
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Yea, I guess a lot of people have moved to Facebook, except me. My wife does it to keep up with friends and family. I don't do Facebook or twitter and
I don't have a smart phone. When the grandkids come by and they are all looking down to their smart phone I head to my man cave to hangout.
Thanks AK, I guess March was BAJACAT's last post.

Facebook is just another method to exchange ideas with people... It doesn't replace forums like Baja Nomad as there are no stored categories to look
up past posts and details (at least easily).
BajaCat said (just now on Facebook) he will pop in here...
