BAJA 1000 video

[LandCruiserPhil]

Grab this video off a IHMud Red Bull banner.

Very well done and does a great job of depicting what a BAJA 1000 is really like.

I've watched this before. It's a great doc. This year's race had some interesting notes. In the 'Stock Full' class a Land Cruiser took 2nd place and Mesa's own Foutz Motorsports took 3rd place in an "as stock as they'll let you" Ford Raptor. Foutz Motorsports is headed by Greg Foutz, a guy I used to work for about 12 years ago, who was on the design team that built the Raptor for Ford. The crazy thing about the Foutz Raptor is, after completing the race they drove the Raptor another 400 miles back to Mesa! Kinda wish I had a spare $70k layin around!

70K will give enough to run a race but what about a truck? Where you thinking your Land Cruiser

This was awesome! I would love to some day be on a team some day. I'll settle for going down there to watch and camp.

Dont set you sites so low you want to drive it and be supported by a team

I'm too skeered. After I almost ran over you at Moab years ago, the skinny peddle scares me.

ps, I still feel bad.

Let's put together a team for Baja. @LandCruiserPhil can drive. We will need to bring @jclarke450 back from Georgia as well.

Great idea a 200 series will be awesome.

My driving days are over, my eyes do not respond to 150'/sec very well these days, but you can pencil me in for logistics planner.

 

[jclarke450]

You know I'm always in. haven't watched the video yet. copper state cruisers entry for 2017? @TexAZ

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

Time to increase membership price and start CSC membership renewals

That assumes you are going 100MPH. You don't have to go that fast.

You don't have to, but I highly recommend that you do.

 

[brices123]

I have figured out the team:
@jclarke450 - driver
@1Louder - co-driver/navigator
@aztlctina - We will use her 200
@LandCruiserPhil - logistics and tequila
@murf - parts supplier
@oilbrnr - tires
@LongDuck - security
@Dimples & @Chrismanjs - technical support/programming
@Pitch - medical support & physical therapy

Who else am I missing?

Now all we need is about $500,000. Any ideas?

I know @Saddletramp can provide financing.

I know @Saddletramp can donate the money needed.

Fixed it

 

[Saddletramp]

Financing? I'm just a poor working schlep putting in time for the man.

Idea: All proceeds from the CSC swap meet next month go to fund the LandCruiserPhil speaking tour around the country. Maybe start a GoFund me sight and start from there.


We should have a few hundred after those events.
