We are Racing The Baja 1000 In an 80 Series Land Cruiser!!!

[LandCrusher'70]

The equalizer is moving on both Vizcaino & Loreto but I hear nothing. Observatory I don't even get an equalizer.

It worked for me about a whole 30 seconds.

I got nothing now . . .

 

[Brentbba]

Same for me - nothing. This is nerve racking waiting to here if the guys are ok.

 

[Bluetribal]

I am now hearing someone on Vizciano station. But no response by weatherman

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

Observatory up again

 

[Mlachica]

Oh man, my prayers are with those guys...I hope they're okay.

Just tuning in...all I hear on all 4 spots are an occasional "recordeded" engine noise with some really weird music overlaying the whole thing...and a bird cawing.

Is that what Im supposed to be hearing?

 

[Bluetribal]

That sounds like the BFGoodrich race tracker, not http://www.race-dezert.com/wm

Nope...live Weatherman broadcast...by camberg.com

Just dont hear any communications...

 

[LandCrusher'70]

I'm getting nothing on any of the channels. They're connecting, but quiet except for some occasional chatter en Español on the Observatory channel.

Observatory back now with flash traffic about 308x needing medical attention.
Team 876 chase trying to find out where driver was taken.
No more info.

 

[Dan2722]

Just heard that team 876 is requesting info on where airlifted team member was taken. Hopefully will hear something soon.

 

[Bluetribal]

Observatory is up and running for me right now.

*Oops forgot there was a page 4 now, sorry a little late.*

876 Brett Garland, officially out after 2nd checkpoint...in case anyone was wondering if the cruiser was still going. Any update on the crew?

Is this post about Kevin? Sounds like it with the 4 hour wait and locations reported...

So you figure that's about 200 miles covered based on their 20 mph average through the first two legs? Figuring they made it a couple of hours into the third leg.

Looks like that was BC3 with Tracy Jordan and Kenny Bartam. I believe that may have been the 06 race as I remember hearing that Tracy Jordan rolled off a 300 footer last year and walked away. Would be a total fluke if it happened 2 years in a row.


EDIT: Yep... the date on that page is 06!

 

[MDarius]

Woops! I should be more observant! Thanks!

Still hoping they're alright!
