Back from Baja 1000
Well, I'm slightly disapointed to be back so soon. We had to drop out at race mile 130 due to a ring and pinion failue. Can't even begin to describe the experience. Already looking forward to next year.
Our racer, 72 Bronco  Parnelli Jones in "Big Oly"   Robbie Gordon  Jesse James  Sandra Bullock

Is that the original Big Oly or a replica?
I worshipped that friggin' truck when I was growin' up.

It's the real deal. There was a parade of vintage trucks that drove from Tijuana to Ensenada as part of the 40th anneversiary of Baja festivities. There is currently a Trophy Truck under construction that is designed to look like the original Big Oly.
