Working with BFGoodrich Pit Support - Photos from Race Mile 122 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

PJTPW · 11-20-2006, 08:39 AM

Got the opportunity to go down to Baja with BFG this past week, and what a blast. Baja is simply awesome. Now I understand the allure to desert racing.

I've never worked with a better group of individuals, anywhere, period. BFG runs a top notch support system, which is without equal.

On to the pics.

We stopped in Ensenada long enough to get our paperwork, and then on to the pit.

I think the pit dumped about 2,300 gallons of gas that day.

PJTPW · 11-20-2006, 08:46 AM

I saw these and though I might know whose they were.

PJTPW · 11-20-2006, 08:47 AM

Yep. Jesse James's

JS 1701. Mike and team: I have the high res photos of these if you want them sent me a PM.

PJTPW · 11-20-2006, 09:02 AM

Mike rolled into the pit and I asked if he needed anything other than fuel. He said he needed the fuel lines blown out with air, so they put in 20 gallons of fuel and we moved him forward to mechanical.

John Hall and other chase support took care of the fuel line situation.

After they had him on his way I grabbed the other 10 gallons of fuel in a dump can that Mike didn't need and we put it in the chase vehicles.

Lots of repairs for Pit 1
