All great ideas. I have not heard of a sand ladder. You have a pic of one? We don't have much room at all on the race truck, that's why the sand bag worked out great.
The race we just won this weekend was the Baja 1000. That also gave us the points championship for the SCORE offroad series this year in the 7s class.The actual race miles this year was 808. It fluctuates a little year to year. It also started and ended in Ensenada. Every 3 years or so it goes from the top of Baja to the south tip.Thats what it did last year and we also won that race in our class. The class we race is 7s(stock mini truck). Our truck is a Toyota Tacoma but don't let the word stock full you, it is anything but that. I actually pit and chase for Bob Graham, who owns the truck. This year as a thanks for all my work over the past couple years he put me in the truck as a co-pilot. Duties include calling out the course to him rally car style using the gps, monitoring all the gauges, controling all the switches and for this race having to hold down first gear on the automatic shifter since it broke early in the race and needed to be held in order to be engaged. I was in the truck for a total of 17 hours and 440 miles. We then did a well needed driver and co-pilot change where the fresh driver and co-pilot took another 10 hours to finish the race. It was a rough course and according to Bob , the driver, it was one of the roughest courses he has seen in over 15 years.
A great experience overall and if you have any other questions about racing feel free to email me or post them. Thanks again, Bob
give us some info
