I would like to Congradulate 1801 Bill Morris for winning the SCORE UTV points Championship. He was leading in points beore the Baja 1000 and with no UTV finishing with in time he had it locked in.
Second I would like to Congradulate 1802 for finishing the roughest course I have ever been on. Plus for adding an extra 100 miles to the course.
Here is how the race started. We where first off the line. The rzr over heated in two mile's. We had pre ran the car and thought we had the over heating issue fixed. Weird thing is all we did was unplug the fan and plug it back in and every thing worked fine the rest of the race. Almost to good. Could not get the temp above 150 degrees. Bill and Dave took the first 90miles. They went from first to last from the over heating problem. By mile marker 34 they where back upto 4th and on the move. At mile marker 90, I hopped in the drivers seat and took off for the summit. We past 1803 at mile marker 125 at top of the summit. We found out later he ripped the steering rack off the frame. The summit was unreal rocks. There was many spots you had to just put the car in low and give it hell. We got stuck in the silt at mile marker 155 and buried the RZR to the frame. While being stuck 1800 past us. That sucked!!!. NOTHING compare's to the silt in Mexico. Got pulled out by the COPS team. Thanks guys again. SORRY for getting your tacoma stuck getting us out. We got to the baja pits at mile marker 199. Got filled up and we were back off again. This part of the course was a straight 20miles of woops. OMG the woops they NEVER END. Motor started acting up around mile marker 225. The motor was surging, gaining and lossing RPM's. Motor finally died in the silt at mile marker 236. Could not figure out why motor died. By this point it was 2am in the morning. It was getting cold and we needed to make a fire. Luckily some Native's left a fire going but it had burned down to just red hot coals. Put wood and bushes onto coals and tried to get fire going. Having no luck. I decided to use gas from the fuel system to spark the fire. I poured the gas out of the tank on to the fire and it PUT IT OUT. That's right. It put OUT the fire. The only thing that nake's sense it we had got 5gallons of water put in our RZR at the Baja pit stop and not 5 gallons of gas. I would like to think that this was not on purpose by baja pits , but at the same time I do understand it is mexico and anything goes. Iam looking forward to next year. I have lots of picture to download and upload. So look forward to them. thanks for letting me tell you my story. Thanks again to Bill and Dee Dee Morris for giving me the oportunity and experience of racing in the Baja 1000.
