More is better, eh?

Our race truck staging to start the NORRA race in Ensenada. Mike Howell right seat, John Langley is the driver and Team Owner. John drove the truck to Cabo virtually problem free. Super fun race! Cool competitors and vehicles. SCORE should use NORRA as an example of how to run a race.

Funny, where'd you see them? No steekers were applied this week in Baja.

Excellent read, thanks. We were in LA Bay and watched some of the cars start. It's funny that some of the slower cars/trucks sounded the loudest.

I did not. We chatted in the hotel in ENS on Sunday morning, but I didn't share. I DID compliment him on how well NORRA runs a race.

They were mostly at the south end. maybe missed them in November.
It is a very fun race! But some get very impatience!! this is not a SCORRE race. not sure why some felt the need to speed on final
transit to finish line! chase trucks included.
