Official UTVUnderground Baja 1000 Update Thread

[JoeyD23]

One long Taco stop.... Maybe a NAP? lol I have a feeling they were doing a scheduled belt change etc possibly before they head into the final leg with a lot of sandy whoop sections but I could be wrong?

They are still at 0mph FWIW.. 1919 and 1932 are still roughly 20miles a part and moving along smoothly. 1923 is making its way south towards Loreto at RM917

Anyone know how the points championship will shake up if jx finishes ahead of mb?

21 points separate MB and Jagged. Looks like if mark finishes in the top 10 he takes the season championship.

Something might be wrong with the 1921 Tracker.. says 16mph at RM879 for like an hour now

Anyone know if 1921 is actually moving? Anyone have a visual on him down there?

1905 is up and running again...

UTV, Inc must be on a smooth section as their speed is over 50 at mile 1025.

 

[JoeyD23]

So looks like 1945 of Brightside has called it quits and is heading home. Just behind him is the 1942 of Mcfarland who had Tim Wyatt and Mickey Thomas driving with them. Both machines heading north on the highway....

Looks like Gilkison in the 1947 Brightside RZR is still charging hard! RM685

 

[JoeyD23]

Sounds like their is a bad situation at RM815. Broken and stuck vehicles. Racers are being advised to go around that section of course. SCORE is sending recovery to help those stuck there out. No UTVs appear to be in that area

From here on out we should see speeds maintain pretty well. It gets fast from Constitution on on down to La Paz

Hope the 1943 of Longshore Racing is still in the fight. They are currently at 0mph at RM586 as of 5:38pm. They came all the way from Kentucky and took on the Baja 1000 as their first ever race!!! They were some of the nicest people we have ever spoken with!

1919 and 1932 keeping a 20 mile gap consistent! What will happen???

 

[crazywatson]

I can't beleive the blistering pace the UTV Inc car has kept up. Taking the class to a new level.

 

[JoeyD23]

Sappington made it around the boys from BC in the 1923. They are both heading towards RM 965 where SCORE just reported COWS on course!

Tracker shows 1927 off course. How accurate is the graphics?

Great coverage UTVUG!

I am so excited to maybe be there next year.

 

[XPirate]

The coverage is awesome for us arm chair racers! Thanks Joey, but one question, why is everyone posting that guys have been driving for 30+hrs? Didn't they start at 230pm yesterday?
