1852 Sportsman UTV in a ditch requires medical. This is the team that Murrays are assisting. Class acts to put baja dreams aside to assist fellow racers. I do hope the occupants are doing ok and have a speedy recovery. Takes balls to go out there especially in sportsman.

Bryce in the 70 is about to turn north...lead TT in 1st

They had broke at one point and were working to get back up and running

Hope sportsman utv guys ok.

What's scoop on Johnny? He's been at 0.0mph too long to be smoke break.

1942...weatherman talking on channel about the tracking being 4 hours old. I think he is worried about this teams progress.

Anyone have word on the 1908 Cognito team???

Colton Udall on the Pro unlimited Bike is nearing mile 750 already. averaging over 2mph faster than the lead TT. thats just stupid fast!! he will be done with the race in 2 hours pending no mechanicals or accidents.

Bryce Menzies is cookin it staying out front but not by much the top 5 TT are within 10 miles of each other.

the trackers are screwy for the UTVs i keep seeing multiple pings bounce around folks dancing all over the map. i dont pay the tracker much attention. i hopefully wait on actual live tracking such as when they are spotted coming thru a pit. and then slightly pay the tracker a bit of notice to see how it relates to the actual visual spotting.

might be a half pack break....I would assume its either a wheel, overheat in the turbo or the experimental alternator

hopefully this isn't the hole the 1852 is in:

Cody Rahders #1961 reports:

Car worked awesome......for about 30 miles then it dropped a cylinder after the first road section. Checked top end, harness, changed out plugs, wires, coil, injectors, pick up, and out of spares we called it. Thank you to everyone that supported us for #destinationbajaxpturbo, my dad and I built a car in 2 months and made it to the race but Im pissed! Its not over by a long shot. Then to top it off one of the crew laid our truck over on its side on the way back to Ensenada. No one hurt, minor damage considering how hard the crash was, yes I was a passenger in it. They say you will have crazy stories coming back from Baja, they were right
