Hola, We just returned from our 10 day trip for the Baja 1000. There are many stories to be told, but I felt this subject needed to be addressed 1st.
Chasing is not Racing! I lost count of the # of stupid ass drivers that endangered the lives of hundreds of people by passing when not safe. One that stood out was ont the way south on Sunday the 12th, well below Santo Tomas. If you are the driver of the Lifted Dk Grey F350 c/c towing the 20' flatbed, F*** YOU!! To pass over a hill and around curves then pulling back in with only a 15' gap causing multiple vehicles to skid and swerve or be pushed down the cliff only feet away is a selfish act. I will only say You are lucky that guns are outlawed in B.C.
Sorry for the outburst, It's been eating at me for days.
In the last several days I've heard multiple stories over the radio and in person. Here is a brief rundown of what we belive transpired over the last 2 weeks. Can these be confirmed or denied? Maybe it will slow some of these drivers down so the rest of us will continue to return from this most awsome adventure.
Because these people wont be back. How many did we not hear about?
Lloyd Duane Curtis died below Mulege
photographer run over at Ojos ******
Quad Racer killed in head-on with a chase vehicle
4 people killed on road by a racer
"Close calls"
Mc Millen chase vehicle totaled
Nitto semi almost totaled
Monster semi almost totalled
head on chase vs local
Chaser into ditch, OK but vehicle runied
I plan on returning to Baja as often as possible,
I plan on retuning too...
Viva Baja
