I was wondering about that too. That article was pretty hard on Gov. Narizco.

the so-called "sport" is bad for the environment. hope the destructive events get cancelled and replaced by something more environmentally sensitive.

OK....Other than what you implied earlier, that Sal should distance himself from the situation, what's the rest of the story. I, for one, have no
background on the story.

Besides World-Cup Soccer, Baja events are lots of fun to watch.

It's about Sal being at an event ( San Jose shortcourse event) with Trevino a former Tourism Secretary now running for Governor. Baja Racing News.com
was blasting Sal over it in the article above. The charge is that Baja Sur is paying thousands of dollars to Sal for the Baja 1000 while the local
governments don't have money to pay employees and vendors. There are several claims and demands for social justice. The person behind it appears to be
Mike Overcast a man in off road circles many consider a scum bag to put it politely. If you do a search on him you can better understand his
reputation. My guess is that Overcast and Trevino may have had a falling out or disagreement probably over an off road event Overcast was involved
with and Overcast is now trying to get back at him.
From what I get from Jesse is that it makes Sal look bad on the local news. I think once the racers, chasers, and their families start showing up in
La Paz and Cabo filling the hotels and resturants all will be forgotten.

Sorry. but we are a part of Mexican race club... so spanish is no problem for us. When in Mexico... do as the Mexicans do.
And Race Dezert (I am a member) does not cover all the races. Only a few

I would not recommend them - highly biased (to make a very mild statement) and in a infight with the others that split from them and opened another
organization. B.t.w. - the "others" in no way better. Additional both are only in spanish.
I suggest either http://www.Race-Dezert.com - you find plenty of insider information there from insiders and gringos that race and live at BCS. They are around for
10 years - or a Google search for "Baja Sur+Racing" ( http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&source=hp&q=Baja+Sur%2BRacing&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&a
mp;fp=8631cdd35a4d476d )
Just disregard evtl. upcoming search results from the individual in question further up in this thread. His URL is here - and at many other websites -
banned for a reason (content thief, slanderous reporting, liar, con-artist, leeching of Baja and not giving anything back)
