Another day in baja
« on: April 17, 2009, 09:22:42 PM »
Tomorrow is my next race day. ZR Team Race, its 8 laps in a 24 mile course. we are racing my raptor in the sportman class, its gonna be 2 friends and me.

we preran tuesday and it went flawlessly, the track has everything  :jaw: a big dune you need to drop at rm 10, its like at a 70* angle.  the start is just brutal, whoops with rocks going up and down hills along a barbwire that separates us from the freeway. we are going to have two helmet cams filming the start and 2 lap, 4 lap and 5th lap. i'll upload pics tomorrow night, wait no tomorrow night we are gonna go celebrate  :rofl: so wait till sunday for pics  :thumbs:

from left to right: dad, racer #3, promoter, me, racer #2, pit stop helper

we raptors just won another 1st place! i did the first lap, i suck at holeshots and was all the way in 7th place, by the end of 1st lap i was already in 4th, then racer #2 got it and placed it in 2nd or 3rd not sure, then racer #3 placed it at 2nd, he was saying he was in 1st but they just kept passing one another, so lap 4 comes and i hop on, just seconds behind 1st, i was in his dust for 10 miles, then i passed him and was in the lead for 5 miles until he passed me again, so there we went, me eating his dust, racer #2 hops on and passes the quad at around rm 6. we only did 5 laps and won 1st place sportman  :thumbs:
