I shot the '00 Baja 500 from Erendeira, see here for video.
That crash location looks kinda near where I was at in 2000. There's a report by TT #76 co-driver that they got stuck in the mud early in the race, which put them amongst the 10 cars. There's video of TT #76 from MM90 still amongst the 10 cars: http://score-international.blogspot....-baja-250.html J. Jones was flying thru! |

considering I have been wheeling for almost 30 years you can bet I have done some pretty crazy stuck recoverys, But I have to say that you could add them all together and it doesn't come close to tumbling a $500,000 TT thru the surf over boulders, even thought it was already wasted it still made me cringe every time it rolled over smashing it even more. then building a ramp down a 30 cliff just to get the busted rig back on course. what the vid doesn't show is that the front suspension was so wasted they had to have the backhoe tow it with the front end off the ground 5 miles on the race course just to get it back to the small fishing village. truley a once in a life time recovey to be a part of.

And I thought I rigged a complicated recovery when I rolled last weekend, I have nothing on that. Luccky Jesse was unhurt and looked like he at least had a smile on his face.
