Sorry to hear about your son Willard, I hope his recovery continues. Where was he racing?
MC racing is stupid dangerous but it gets in your blood. Chad has been racing since he was 14 years old. He has been fortunate to have raced at the
level that he does without having been seriously injured. He says he is through with Baja, I hope he can stick with that. It's difficult for me on
race day, especially when he races in Baja.
Good luck to all the racers tomorrow, let's hope everyone finishes healthy.

Extremely rough course did a number on 1517 . Flat BFG, busted brake line, torque converter then gave up so no finish for Ross and Josh this time.
The good news is they want Josh to race all of the 2015 BITD races including the Mint 400 and Vegas to Reno.

Chad and Kyle finished first 40+ pro.
When the rest of the 40+ pro's saw their name on the entry list they didn't bother showing up, guess they didn't want to spend the time and money to
fight over second place

Co drivers from Vail Arizona, my other town.... first in car 1520 (Jimco).

Teams all the way from Australia finished 3rd and 5th in class 1500...good for them.
This is good for our Vail team since 24 cars finished in class 1500.
Congrats boys.

NO WAYYYY David that a "BFG went flat"-----that sounds like one of those unfounded in fact rumors that the detractors are ALWAYS trying to foist off
on us!!! Perhaps a TOYO radical enthusiastic terrorist ran a stiletto thru it.
But, congrats to Josh-----that is really neat!!!

Good question... that post and others that are duplicating where made from my Android Phone... so maybe Doug knows why the new software is causing
phone posts to duplicate? I have been going back and deleting the duplicates when I see them. I am on my PC at the moment, and it generally doesn't
cause a duplication.

A-OK, I don't know what you are trying to say or what that no sunshine symbol means? But if I were to guess what you are after, this is my response:
Baja Nomads is about Baja or Nomads. Off Road racing was born in Baja, and I said so in the opening post. I am a Nomad and my step-son's racing was
something I thought I would share. Many Nomads know Josh and his work at Stewart's Raceworks on Baja race trucks and luxury Raptors and other
prerunners. Lot's of non-Baja and politically motivated stuff goes on here, I thought this was something more fun and sun shinny to share. Look at how
many others had something also to share in this thread. Peace, Love and Fish Tacos a-okay?
Now, how about posting something OFF ROAD here that involves Baja or Nomads in some way? It's supposed to be a family place, so join the family!
