Tfllll Notes ... FNAL FLAG -We are sad to report the passing of Barb Schultz, long time friend of ours and a long time friend of off road acing. Barb produced the SODA Newsletter for many years, did a bunch of work for Dusty Times way back when and was always found at the track cheering on Ed Schultz and her daughters Heidi and Robin. She passed away on the 16th of July, a heart attack being the culprit. Barb was a good soul with a zest for life and she will be sorely missed by her family and all of her friends. Go With God. BEST IN THE D ESERT -Casey Folks, Director of Best in the Desert, announced that the popular "King of the Desert" award, for the racer with the fastest overall miles per hour for the entire Best in the Desert Series, is now sponsored by KC HiLites. Folks said, "I am excited to announce the sponsorship of the "King of the Desert" award by KC Hi lites. KC is a major leader in off-road lighting, plus a major sponsor of our series, and we appreciate them stepping up to sponsor this award. The winner of this award not only gets $1,000, but also an awesome trophy showing off their achievement." Michael DeHaas, president and owner of KC, commented, "KC Hilites is the premier producer of off-road lighting, and we are proud to sponsor the "King of the Desert" award. As a long-time supporter of off-road racing, we saw this as an ·opportunity to give back to the racers that support us. Last year, Curt LeDuc won the award and is currently a KC sponsored vehicle. We'll see who takes home the $1,000 this year!" For information on the "King of the Desert" award, please contact KC's racing director at 928 635 2607, or Casey Folks at Best in the Desert Racing organization at 702/457-5775.

MacCachren and Freeman's Menzies Motorsports teammates, who are also all from Las Vegas, and their current positions in the 2008 CORR points are: Bruce Fraley (9th, Pro Lite, No. 12 MSD Ford Ranger), Bryce Menzies, team owner Steve Menzies' son who sat out Round 4 with a neck injury (11th, Pro Lite, No. 7 Fox Shox Ford Ranger), Larry Job (6th, Pro Buggy, No. 907 MasterCraft AlumiCraft-Honda) and Brock Krahenbuhl, Steve Menzies' son-in-law who has three third place and two second-place finishes so far this year (3rd, Single Buggy, No. 312 KMC Fraley). While Freeman won both of his Single Buggy races in Chula Vista last weekend, Menzies had a break-through weekend with a second and his first victory in Pro Lite. His best finish in six previous races had been two sixths during the opening weekend in Pomona. "Menzies Motorsports has produced an incredible report card for its first semester, but the school year is only half over and this is our first year together in the school of CORR," said MacCachren, who also splits driving in the No. 1 Rockstar/Makita Ford F-150 SCORE Trophy-Truck in the SCORE Desert Series. "We aren't surprising people any more, and last weekend's performance by Bryce Menzies was nothing short of incredible, considering he is a rookie in a class of grizzled veterans and yet he finished second Saturday and then won on Sunday." With plans to expand the fleet of race vehicles even more in the near future, Menzies Motorsports is based out of a state-of-the-art 31,000-square foot race shop in southwest Las Vegas and the new team also has a test facility with a one-mile track southeast of Las Vegas which is laid out nearly identically to course at the Las Vegas International Off-Road Raceway in Primm, Nev. Owned by Las Vegas contractor Steve Menzies, the team is making a major impact despite being only in its second season overall and first year with more than two drivers.

CHULA VISTA N/Wrl•T Full Hausa At Chula Vista Bryan Freeman took his sixth and seventh win in Single Buggy at Chula Vista, Bryan, out of the Menzies Stable is really on a roll. CORR RACES PACK 'EM IN The fourth weekend of the 2008 CORR season ran at The Quarry in Chula Vista, and even though it was being televised live, the stands were full to the brim in perfect beach weather. With live shows on Speed and NBC, CORR had a crisis of sorts on its hands. It was absolutely essential that everything run on time for the television crews, and CORR hasn't really found that easy to do. Typically they've run anywhere from twenty minutes to over an hour behind their own schedule, and for the most part no one has seemed to care. But this time, with the pressure of the TV crews creating incentive, everything went according to schedule, or close enough as to be unnoticeable. The Quarry itself seemed very little different since the last set of races held there, except for some reorganization of parking spaces. Parking is still their big problem, with folks having to leave their cars in a shopping center parking lot about a mile away and hop a "shuttle bus" to the gates of the track. After that they've still got a ten minute walk to the grandstands, but at least they're in the pits and in the midst of the concessionaires. This is not an event for the weak of spirit. One .--~"""'=,,,,,-....,.=-"""''JZ7E7'.:IFT,'::--=,,., It was a strange weekend for Robert Naughton, he took the Pro Lite win on Saturday in his Ford but was back in 26th place on Sunday. needs to make an effort to get in to see the racing. But enough fans thought it was worth the effort, and Saturday's attendance was announced at 13,500, which filled the stands. Sunday's attendance wasn't announced, but the stands appeared to be equally well filled. Mother Nature cooperated and the weather was marvelous. Indeed, up in the dark recesses of the media area at the top of the stands, it was cool enough for light jackets. Clear sun and light breezes made it the best weather weekend of 2008. The schedule called for a full set of races each day. That is, Single Buggy, Pro Buggy, Pro Lite, Pro 2, Pro 4 and UTVs each had "main" events after a session of practice and qualifying. Interspersed midst the bigger veh ides there were heats for the various classes of Trophy Karts, which use an abbreviated section of the race course. All the others use the full eight-tenths of a mile. The course has either five or seven turns, (depending on how one counts a couple of them), some stutter bumps, and one humongous long downhill that works as a jump. It looks about like the old "peristyle jump" at the Coliseum in the Mickey Thompson days. The vehicles are off the ground for a long, lo ng time, and landing wrong can Carl Renezeder, Ford, took a first and a third place finish in Pro 4, he leads the points but only by one point. bring disaster. But, they're not really far off the ground at any point, because they sort of float down parallel with the slope of the hill. Very exciting stuff for the spectators. At the base of that hill there's a sharp right turn into a sharp left turn, with K-rail on one side and big dirt berm on the other. It's an area that jams up every now and then, bringing out yellow flags. The dirt at the quarry is not as fine and silty as at the Primm track, so the dust is not as big a problem. Add to that the fact that the weather was relatively cool, and the air was humid, and the dust problem was not a big issue for this weekend. Also, the CORR folks have added the sticky goop to it that helps keep it from blowing around. Late Friday afternoon there was practice and qualifying. In the Pro 4 group the water trucks came out midway through the qualifying, and that brought on an uproar about it being unfair to the next group in that class still waiting to qualify. The water trucks, apparently there because of a miscommunication, quickly pulled off, having watered only a short section of the course. And then, as it turned out Scott Douglas, who was in that group, got the second fastest qualifying time, so it was apparently not as crucial at Chula Vista as it might have been at Pomona or Primm. The wetness or dryness of the track during qualifying has been a bone of contention all this season. If the racer has to qualify on a freshly watered track it's slippery and his time suffers. All the drivers in the first group to go out are perceived as getting a bad deal because the slippery track makes it hard to qualify well. Subsequent batches of drivers get a better, and then still better track condition, leading to better times. Or so the pundits say. This track had four moguls in the last turn, which leads to the front straight. For the trucks they were a set of double "doubles", and as they landed off the second double the drivers would already have the truck aimed way left, so it would be a straight shot into the front straight. It could be hairy if the driver didn't get it right, but for the trucks it wasn't too difficult. For-the Pro Buggies it wasn't quite so easy, and watching them practice on Friday afternoon was entertaining and a little unnerving at times. Scott Peterson, Larry Foddrill, Greg George, and Rob MacCachren got it figured out early, but some of the others had a hard time, especially since it had been watered and if they got too far to the right, where it was slippery, their momentum would take them over into the wall. A couple of front ends got torn up when that happened. The UTVs started the program on Saturday, with 25 of them on the track. Chad George moved into the lead by lap three in his new Kawasaki, and then stayed there. Robert VanBeekum ' and Todd Arthur battled for second place. At the finish it was George, who'd developed a good lead, taking the win, with Arthur in second place. Van Beekum was third, and there were still another 14 UTVs on the lead lap. When the UTVs came back on Sunday Dan Kelly and Todd Arthur battled for the lead, while Chad George closed up on them from third place. Arthur led from lap three through lap seven, but then George, who'd been running side-by-side with him for most of the lap, took a bump in Turn 4 that sent him sideways into Arthur, and knocked Arthur into the soft dirt at the edge of the turn. That allowed George to move to the front, and there wasn't time enough to Arthur to catch him again. George got the win, and Arthur was second. The Single Buggies were the second event on Saturday, with Johnny Greaves wasn't the happiest guy at Chula Vista, he took Rob MacCachren took a third and a second place finish in the Pro In the Pro Buggy fracas, it was Greg George taking a second and a 22nd place finish, Greg sits 22nd in the point race. a second and a ninth place finish in Pro 4 in his Toyota. 2 category, Rob leads the point race in his Ford.

John Greaves hit it, but it seemed to do him no harm. Mike Porter took the Pro Buggy win on Saturday, he finished well back on Sunday, he is currently eighth in the points race.

Robert Pecoy somehow hit the wall after the checkered flag and broke his front end, as he finished in fifteenth. MacCachren had managed to work his way back up to tenth after his flat tire. Twenty three cars were still running at the end. One that wasn't was Eric Vigouroux who comes from France.

Vic Bruckmann's VW went up in smoke as he crossed the finish line on a left rear flat, a tough ending for the weekend. But Bruckmann is a happy person these days, as the new father of a healthy baby boy. After the ProBuggies it was time for the Trophy Karts. There were three races, and the first one had to be cut short because the kids weren't paying any attention to the yellow flags. Flag men and corner workers were being seriously endangered by over-enthusiastic drivers, so the officials decided to wave the checkered flag about three laps early. It's unknown what effect it had on those kids, but the youngsters in the next two heats were certainly more observant. Saturday's Pro 2 truck event, was the first of the live TV events. There were 24 of them, and in the front row, thanks to the inversion, it was Todd LeDuc and Jerry Whelchel. They did two pace laps, and then flagged them off at 3: 15. The track was in good shape, not wet and slimy, so the start was fairly uneventful, but as they went into their second lap there was a three-car crash on the front straight, involving Rodrigo Ampudia and Jesse Jones Meanwhile, Whelchel led, Renezeder was second and LeDuc was third. Jones came back out after getting a new tire, but he had a broken shock, and couldn't run at full speed. Ricky Johnson lasted only into the sixth lap, and then got a rock in the motor compartment. It got into the belts, broke some bolts, broke off the primary shaft and he lost the oil pump, so he shut the truck down. Whelchel and Renezeder were having a good battle, and Renezeder seemed to be slowly catching up. Then it was time for the Competition Yellow Flag, and the pace car made it a very slow lap indeed. On the restart it was still Whelchel, Renezeder and LeDuc, but on Lap 10 MacCachren got past LeDuc for third place. The first three cars were having an intense battle, and they pulled out and away from the rest of the pack a bit. On the white flag lap Whelchel and Renezeder were really close. And as they came out of Turn 1 into the short straight, Renezeder seemed to nose into Whelchel, -and that put Whelchel up onto two wheels, and let Renezeder squeeze by. Whelchel couldn't catch and pass him in the half a lap left to him, so Renezeder got Carl Renezeder took the win both days in the Pro 2 races, he sits second in points in his Nissan, seen here in level flight.

Rodrigo Ampudia in third place. David Reyes went up in a huge cloud of smoke on the second lap, and Jeff Kincaid came to a stop on the same lap. Then a bit later Naughton did the same. Chuck Dempsey spun in Turn 4 . Ampudia moved into second place, and Bryce Menzies moved up to third on the second lap, with Chad Hord in fourth. On the third lap Bobby Altamirano rolled over in Turn 5 and landed on his roof and now Reyes, still smoking, had also developed a left front flat, and decided to head for the Hot Pit. They waved a full course yellow to clear the track. Leroy Loerwald was also towed off during the lull. As they came around still under yellow they allowed Bruce Fraley, who'd been black flagged, but then held too long, to reenter the line in his correct position. Things were fairly confusing for a few moments. On the restart it was still Wallace, Ampudia and Menzies, but then Ampudia bicycled the last turn, and Menzies moved into second place. They went on in that order until lap nine, and then Ampudia rolled over in Turn 2, fell off the backside of the turn, landed on his wheels and tried to charge up the berm and rejoin the track, with predictable results. He got high centered. When they sent the crew to get him free, they towed him off backwards, down into the hole, instead of forwards toward the track, which must have been frustrating to Ampudia. This time he charged hard enough to clear the berm and rejoin the frar, but by then he'd dropped to 20' . Marty Hart had moved up into third. On the tenth lap Menzies went into the lead, with Wallace now second and Hart in third place, as Hord held firm in fourth. Currie rolled over in the turn at the bottom of the hill, broke his truck and headed for the pit. Heath Carpenter was limping around on a right rear flat. Now they got kind of strung out, with Menzies in front, Wallace still second and Hart third. And at the checkered flag they were still in that order, Hart dealing with a right rear flat. During his interview Hart said, "It was a demolition derby for the first five laps!" The next event on Saturday was the Pro 4 race, with just 15 trucks. Josh Baldwin and Renezeder made up the front line, and the stands were packed. After a couple of pace laps they waved the green flag, but they'd no sooner got started than the yellow and then the red flag flew.

September 2008 usual over the front straight bump, and it pitched him so he landed nose down, and then went into a series of dramatic endos, popping up out of a throng of trucks each time, then nosing down into the traffic, but not landing on another truck. It was exciting and scary to watch, and brought everything to a halt. He ended up on his roof, and it took a while to get him out, get the truck hauled off and get everyone lined up again. The restart was clean, except that Curt LeDuc bicycled in Turn 2 and gave Adrian Cenni a hit. Renezeder went into the lead with Josh Baldwin second and John Greaves ran third. But by the second lap Greaves was second and Rick Huseman was third as Baldwin had some kind of problem up on top of the big hill, and lost a lap. On the second lap Jerry Daugherty ended up on his side in the final turn, and that was the end of his race, as Renezeder started to pull out a lead on Greaves. Mike Jenkins developed a right rear flat on the fifth lap, and the corner workers righted Daugherty, but as his truck came up and onto its wheels, one corner , overhung the K-Rail, and he was hung up but good. They had to call in a real tow truck to lift him up and off the barrier. Meanwhile, they'd gone to a full course yellow. Cenni was in and out of the Hot Pit, and was in about tenth place now. On the restart it was Renezeder, Greaves and Huseman, and when they got to the beginning of Turn 5, Huseman bicycled, and rather than fight it, took the graceful way out, went straight into the hot pit entrance, throttled down, and motored sedately out the other end to rejoin the fray. But he lost several positions. Scott Douglas moved into third place, and Greaves stepped up his assault on Renezeder. Then Baldwin rolled over at the base of the big hill and landed on his wheels. But he couldn't go, because something had broken in the front end, so there were more yellow flags while they got him cleared out of the way. In the meantime, Kyle LeDuc did a quick rollover up on the top of Turn 3, landing neatly on his wheels, and never missing a beat. Cenni parked at the edge of the last turn, having lost an argument with gravity apparently. He and Baldwin were both towed away. By now it was Renezeder, Greaves and Douglas, with Ed Herbst up to fourth in his new truck for a while. LeDuc got by him and tried to catch the lead pack, but couldn't quite get it done. At the finish it was Renezeder, Greaves and Douglas, and Curt LeDuc, with a smoking Dusty Times

Later, as he signed autographs for a long line of kids, LeDuc said he'd "abused" that wheel bearing by landing on it wrong. He went on to say, "Even when you have a bad day, the fans come by and make you smile." They certainly do that, and long lines of kids and adults wait patiently for autographs from their favorites after the racing is over. Some want pieces of body work signed, some settle for a line on their t-shirt or a poster. It's fun for all. On Sunday the Pro 4 trucks were second on the program, and also live on TV. There were 15 of them again, and they were flagged off at about 1:05 p.m. Huseman and Greaves started in front, but by the end of the first lap it was Greaves and Douglas at the fore. Travis Coyne and Ed Herbst had got stuck on Turn 1 for a bit, and Curt LeDuc was off the edge of the track after Turn 3. They had to tow him away. Greaves and Douglas went on in front of the pack, while Barlow, Kyle LeDuc and Troy Herbst had a good three-way battle for fifth or sixth place. Ultimately, LeDuc got 1t. Now it was Greaves, Douglas, Huseman, Renezeder, Josh Baldwin and the LeDuc. They were all stretched out. Then Baldwin pulled out on the sixth lap, and Ed Herbst developed a flat. On the seventh lap Renezeder spun in the turn below the big hill, and oddly, moved forward just enough to hook his front wheels over the K Rail, with the truck crosswise on the track. That brought out a full course yellow. Cenni's truck was smoking some now, and Ed Herbst came out of the Hot Pits with a new tire. They worked Renezeder off the K-Rail, but added another full course yellow, sort of segueing into the Competition Yellow. When they restarted the group it was free of incidents, and now it was Greaves, Douglas, Huseman and Kyle LeDuc. Douglas and Huseman were having a good battle. Then Mike Jenkins rolled in Turn 2 and landed on his side, but he was quickly cleared off. On about the 13'h lap as Greaves pulled out a good lead, Huseman bumped into Douglas and spun, losing a position, but he quickly caught back up.

ln.12C: 8™ TURKEY RALLY Nlrvonen-Ford Tak.The Win Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen flew their Ford Focus RS to victory in Turkey, they're seen t,ere in level flight. Ford took bold steps to make sure they made up for their disappoint-ment two weeks ago in Greece, finish-ing 1-2 ahead of Citroen. They used a very cunning and well executed plan to take full advantage of the running order rules on a rally characterised by stage road cleaning. Mikko Hirvonen managed to win, passing Sebastien Loeb in the Drivers' championship charts, but this laid himself open on the next event, Finland in seven weeks, to Citroen performing similar tacti-cal maneuvres against them! Apart from Petter Solberg's fifth place Subaru, all the top ten cars were Fords or Citroens, while four of the top five PCWRC cars were Mitsubishis, leav-ing the highest placed Subaru only sixth in that category. Mid season rallying excitement came to Turkey with Sebastien Loeb leading Mikko Hirvonen by a single point, and the BP Ford Abu Dhabi team two points ahead of Citroen Total, after the first seven of the 15 rounds in the 2008 World Rally Championship. Ford had hoped for a stronger lead in the championship at this point of the season, with three of the remaining seven events in the series to be run on asphalt stages, where traditionally their rivals at Citroen are stronger. This was the fifth time Turkey had been included in the world championship and was again based at the Mediterranean resort town of Kerner, a town which less than 50 years ago was a simple village which could only be reached by sea. The rally started on the Thursday evening in the grounds of the University in the l'lred 0, It 11111 vacation rentals available in the exclusive Indian Wells country Club in the sunny Palm Springs area of southern California.

Over the next three days stages were held in the western foothills of the Taurus mountains, over tracks which pro-vided a challenge very little different to those faced on the recent Acropo-lis Rally. Most of the cars entered by the top teams had, by regulation, the same chassis and engines as used in Greece. Exempted from this rule were the leading Stobart car (Galli), the number two car of the Subaru team (Atkinson) and the second Munchi' s car, none of which finished that event. Both Fords in fact were rebuilt rather than replaced. Much worrying fol-lowed regarding the suspension fail-ures, and stronger suspension arms were hurriedly fabricated in Britain. Ford were relieved that sets of strength-ened suspension parts arrived before the start, one each for Mikko and for Jari-Matti. The second Mun.chi's car, driven in Greece by Aris Vovos, in Turkey had Barry Clark at the wheel. Clark knew the car well, having worked in Greece on it as team mechanic (as well as being a team truck driver!), and when Vovos retired Barry had oppor-tunity to rebuilt the car personally. After the Acropolis, Subaru, like Ford, took their cars directly to Tur-key, which restricted their ability to examine the cars thoroughly after their first event. A team spokesman explained: "Turkey is for us like the second part of our ongoing extended new car development programme, af-ter competing with the cars in Greece." Post Acropolis discussions suggested that the power steering forces should be eased, and Markko Martin was en-listed to carry out essential test work back in Britain to ensure this. Turkey was the last appearance of the Suzuki SX4 WRCars in its current specifica-tion, before uprated cars appear in Finland. Ford, meanwhile, were ex-pected to be allowed to make techni-cal changes in time for the asphalt rally in Germany. When the Suzuki team brought their cars to Turkey, it was discovered that Gardemeister's had suffered a broken roll cage, which would have forbidden the car being allowed to start the rally, so they hur-riedly sent for the car he had driven earlier in Mexico and Argentina. Suzuki were relieved when the Stew-ards agreed it would be unfair to penalise Toni Gardemeister because of the car damage. Assumingtheweatherwas dry, the tracks in Turkey would be abrasive and rocky. If there was a lot of rain, the tracks could turn to quagmires, and in the past rains had brought the event to a stop. The weather in this coastal region is surprisingly volatile. There is also a large variation in alti-tude at which the rally runs, which also affects the weather. Temperatures at the sea level service park in Kerner can be dramatically higher than on the stages, which go up to 1800 metres, much higher than the highest point in Rallye Monte Carlo.Tyre-wise the new single compound Pirelli supply system was going to meet a new challenge. The difference in conditions on the stages between wet and dry conditions on this event is perhaps more extreme than on any other world champion-ship rally. Playing safe, the FIA ap-proyed Pirelli's proposal to supply hard compound tyres to every crew whatever the weather. Crews came back from recce and reported another hazard, the risk of rocks falling down hillsides and landing on the track be-low. Backing up the world champion-ship cars should have been the 22 competitors in the Production Car category, but insurance problems stopped the American Subaru team from attending so we were down to 21. The series was headed by Andreas Aigner, after his category victories in Argentina and Greece. The main dif-ferences between the Acropolis and the Rally ofT urkey was that privateer teams were back with a vengeance. In Greece there were only 15 non-prior-ity drivers out of the 60 which started. This time the list showed 27 privateers, which counted for virtually half tpe field. Among the privateers were, un-usually, four drivers from Iran, with three rented Fiat Palio cars from the local Delta Sport team (which even-tuallywere driven instead by Turkish drivers), and the fourth, a lady driver, was one of 14 drivers at the wheel of Ford Fiesta ST cars. Unusually there were absolutely no non~tarters. T earns tried to remember everything they could about the event which, under tlie FIA's rotation systems, was not included in the championship last year Although this will happen again frequently in the future, the last time a world champion rally skipped a year and then came back again was in the event rotation years of the mid-90' s. All the top drivers had been here be-fore but Latvala, Sordo, Villagra and Wilson had each only done the event once and this was one of the events which Loeb missed two years ago be-cause ofhis shoulder injury. This situ-ation meant that several of the cur-rent top line drivers had very little ex-perience ofT urkey. The top three cars at shakedown were Fords (Latvala, Galli and Hirvonen) then came the Subaru of Atkinson in front of Loeb. Petter, meanwhile, was standing beside the road with his new Subaru having suffered a flattened and snapped lower control arm.' Day 1? 9 Stages, gravel- 154.90kms. The opening superspecial on the Thursday evening was run in a dust-bowl, with Loeb 0. 7 seconds quicker than Petter in his repaired car. The rally proper started on Friday with a drive from the seafront town of Kerner to the highest stage of all, over 1800 metres. Loeb, running first car on the road, suffered badly from the gravel Dusty Times

Latvala running fourth, set off with determination but half way through the stage had a front wheel.puncture and struggled non-stop to the end of the stage. Aava's luck did not last. On Stage 3 he wrecked the suspension. Hirvonen was now in the lead, despite the big problem of dust which ob-scured their vision and made it hard for the crew to breathe. Latvala was down at 14th. Front runner Loeb had nothing except the stage conditions to complain about. Galli had a fire at the rear of his car at the end of Stage 3, he stopped to extinguish this and then found himself stuck behind fel-low Ford driver Henning Solberg, and was one minute (ten second pen-alty) late at the next control. In one stage Latvala was up to third and af-ter four, when the rally returned for the first of two service halts in the day, he was second and Fords held the top four places, and when he arrived he had another flat tyre. Gardemeister had a rear wheel puncture but con-tinued, but then lost control at the flying finish, the car slid wide and hit the timing equipment. His Suzuki teammate, P.G. Andersson, had his own problems when the fire extin-guisher system operated itself and cov-ered the interior of the car with foam and then the car kept stalling at junc-tions. On the second loop the roads were cleaner though the ruts were deeper and the rocks in the road big-ger. Little wonder that cars arrived at the second service looking a little sec-ond-hand. Loeb was careful and ac-cordingly had risen to third. Hirvonen reported he had worn out rear tyres on the long stage (6). Latvala reported another puncture (actually his third of the day, he also had one on a road section) and commented that he had already lost a lot of time to Loeb before that happened. He held his second place, 9.8 seconds behind his team leader Dani Sordo dropped from fifth to sixth when the rear suspension was damaged. Petter Solberg had another front suspen-sion bottom arm snap completely in two. Galli had two bald tyres, and a shoved-in door where he also slid into a timing box. Henning had a rear tyre puncture, the damaged tyre had then smashed the rear bodywork. Wilson arrived with no fewer than three tyres worn completely down to the canvas with all the metal con-struction showing. Mikkelsen' s engine stopped a few times on the stages. Gardemeister hurt his arm when it was caught in the steering wheel when he hit a rock. Andersson punctured and had to drive nearly three full stages with only manual gearshift. Galli dropped behind Loeb while Henning·was fifth and notwithstand-ing his suspension failure, Petter was Dusty Times sixth. Chris Atkinson, however, was out for the day also with front sus-pension failure on Stage 6 it was just Patrik Sandel and Emil Axelsson were the second place finishers in the PCWRC category, they're seen here in their Peugeot 207 S2000. too far for him to try to drive through Stage 7 and head for ser-vice, so he had to stop." · September 2008 Only two more stages remained but what then happened was pure theatre. The precision of the performances of the Ford players could nor be copied on Broadway, let alone by anyone else o a rally. Under this year's rules the restart order for the top drivers for the second and third days was the same as the overall positions the night before, except for the results of any superspecial stage Ford's drivers at the end of the day's penultimate stage were lying 1-2-3, with Loeb fourth. The first trick was to make sure Loeb was forced to run first car on the road on the second day, thus giving him less favourabe driving conditions and pre-vent him from controlling the event in similar circumstances 24 hours later. On Day 2, 47km of stages were due to be run for the first time, on virgin con-ditions, but even on the other stages the disadvantage of running first car was still marked. The second trick was to achieve this end with as little time loss for Continued next page Page 17

By SRCHLJPACABRA@YAHOO.aJM August 1st, 2008 SOLO BAJA 1000 RACER As I sit in my small Gold Mine 17 3 feet below the surface of the Baja region of Mexico and relax af-ter a long night of mining gold for future uses for the Baja children that can always use books, clothes, shoes and just the basic stuff to get through another day in Baja, Bring toys, goodies, and stuff to give to the kids when you come here, as you will be looked upon as a gener-ous soul With that said, I sat back in my Rocky Cave and somehow wondered if the Baja Racers that come through our world renowned terrain ever really understand what goes through the mind of a SOLO RACER in BAJA? Our terrain goes from a sooth-ing sandy serine seaside resorts to areas of Baja that are unspeakable to the general population. Racers never even take photos of these ar-eas as the results may bring on hal-lucinations after the race and sui-cides have been the result of bring-ing up the past. TV Crews stay away from the forbidden zones of Baja. They stay in the safe areas for the thought of the Chupacabra scares all men away. If you do your re-search, Not more that 290 racers enter the World Class Baja Race, Not even 200 finish as despair and destruction await even the most confident and skilled driver. You think your money will guarantee a win and or a finish. Ha Ha for You. $480,000 trophy trucks found at the bottom of 1,200 foot cliffs, driv-ers never to be found, just dried blood and some hair left behind. Not a place to take your family on vacation. Go ahead tough guys, Make My Day! But one such SOLO Racer, I observed during the last three Baja races seemed to be determined to prove to himself he could race SO LO and prove to all that this feat can be done if you put your mind to it. AB I go the other countries in the world to observe others, I hap-pen to be at Glamis Dunes one Bone Chilling Cold and Windy night in January 2007 to observe this SOLO rider in the Dunes in the Middle of the night riding from one end of the dunes to the other building up his stamina to Race the "TRUST NO ONE" BAJA 1000 event. Yes Fellow racers, after see-ing the movie on DVD from "Dust To Glory" This Solo rider was de-termined to enter a 1,400 mile race from Ensenada to Cabo San Lucas in the 2007 BAJA 1000. Never having been to Baja, this Solo rider was in for the challenge of his life to conquer the terrain of Baja. He rode for 20 hours back and forth to see if his 50 year old body and mind could handle the thrashing, pounding, endless up and downs of the Internationally known Glamis Dunes. Not many riders ever come to terms with the ever changing sand silt hills of Glamis, The Witches Eyes at night can turn you into a dead corpse if launched over one wrong. In the morning after a typical wind storm, not even GPS will find you buried Dusty Times two feet below the sand surface. To bad for you for not planning the night ride with other seasoned rid-ers. Looks like you are dead and seasoned with sand. Better make your peace with everyone before you defy the Dunes of Glamis or BAJA. And, after a fun weekend at Glamis, we all stop at Denny's in El Centro for a Grand Slam Breakfast. At least there is a Denny's.in Rosarito when we go to the Baja. Determined and signed up for the 2007 BAJA 1000 this SOLO rider was at least getting support from BAJAPITS and LOCOS MOCOS. We would do our part to get this racer through the areas we won't even go to. And we speak Spanish, but not Chupacabra's Spanish of Death. Mr. Solo Racer was even paid by friends to NOT RACE. Others had bets that he would only get 150 miles and quit, cry and go home to mommy. Not a great way to start an event where death is an option. Another feat that was totally in-sane was this SOLO racer drove his Honda XR650R with California Plates to the race starting line with no extra clothes or chase support. Now that Psycho LOCO in Spanishlll! No Support Vehicle, Only a Camel Back, $200.00 cash and a Passport. Good thing he was with the BAJAPITS CREW for life support, or death bags on demand. So, the BAJA 1000 race started in Ensenada and this Solo Racer keeps a steady pace through terrain never thought possible to race in .. Rocks, Cliffs, Rivers, Sharp Bushes, Desert, SILT BEDS!!!!!, No Mans Land, Zombies in the Dark, People in the middle of no where just star-ing into space, very eerie conditions to ride in, mile long sewer rivers three feet deep, pelted with rocks from other vehicles, Farmers with Pitch forks jabbing at you as you pass, Coffin size holes dug in the middle of the course to trip you up and make you crash at night, Packs of Wolves needing raw meat from racers that crashed and had com-pound fractures oozing blood, the smell made wolves go wild. Just an-other normal day in BAJA. The BAJAPITS service, located every 50 miles was like seeing GOD for a few minutes as fuel was spilled in the gas tank, goggles cleaned, tire pressures checked, water bottles con-sumed, and are you really still alive, the BAJAPITS Crews slapped you on the back and made you get back out there for another round of the most evil terrain the devil won't even race on. Keep Going!!, Keep Goingll, Keep Going!! You can't stop for a visit with new friends. Pit #6 was the first 20 minute stop to catch his breath and Leo the pit Captain made him lay down and rest as 130mph Trophy Tucks passed by. A sure death run over if this newbi~ would have stayed on the course. Robbie Gordon stopped into Pit #6 to install a light, he was running way behind. Took some great photos of Robbie only to loose the Camera in the SILTS BEDS north of Loreto. We told you not to take any photos of Chupacabra's Baja. Shame on you stupid gringo. Cameras in Baja stay in Baja. Pit #7 was nice to stop at after going through 60 degree solid rock formations at 5mph in the dark of night. That $800.00 HID BAJA DESIGNS HEADLIGHT sure came in handy for night vision. A few minutes at Pit #7 and then onto SILT BEDS that consume you into falling every 20 feet. 1st Gear is just not fast enough, how about 3"1 gear pegged. Then you float on this Quick Sand Devil Dust. Live and Learn gringo from Glamis Dunes. Most of the time you would be in the middle of nowhere and crash-ing was not an option. Many racers were seen with broken cars not able to move, the race was over for them after spending $20,000 or more to race and now they waited for a tow. Had to keep moving and would re-port their situation to the BAJAPITS CREW Ahead, They had Sat Phones at the pits. Our Solo Rider had nothing but GOD!!. Our Solo Racer stopped at Pit #8 after the sale of his boot came off and needed some coffee as he fixed his boot. 30 minutes of pre-cious race time lost to a broken boot sale, solution?? Duck Tape and metal screws. A flapping sale on your foot peg is not your friend. It seemed like the clock was mov-ing way to fast and Our rider mov-ing too slow. Well after all it was his first time in BAJA. Friends that never raced this terrain thought it to be a trail ride of smooth flat sur-faces. NOT!!!!!! Some Sleep in the back of Pit Captain Pete Davis's pick up truck at BAJAPITS # 10 Pit at 1 :30am in the morning cost him anther two hours of down time. Chupacabra laughs!!! Again the BAJA 1000 is a RACE, YES!!! A RACE not a camp-ing trip to stop and drink Hot Chocolate and eat Twinkies. Pete got me back out there on the course at 3:30am. Mr. SOLO just keep losing time!!!! and time is your friend or your enemy. Solo rider gets to Bay of LA at Sun Up. Beautiful area!!!!!!!. Had low front tire pressure though the previous hills but never pumped up for the smoothest, fastest part of the course, with tiny SHARP ROCKS!!! CHUPACABRA!!!! that low pressure tire cost Mr. Solo racer TWO FRONT FLAT TIRES and Three more hours of down time .. HA HA HA HA HA!!! Not a good day for Mr. Hot Shot Glamis rider. And getting pelted by sharp pebble size rocks hurts like hell as the cars passed me .. Need to go faster or get pelted. Thank God a Pit Crew had a front tire for me as I limped into their pit. With a new front tire and 30 PSI in both tires, Mr. Solo Racer was determined to get caught up on now six hours of lost time. Again, this is a race not a social stop and go event. Also Our Solo Guy was not drinking water from his camel back because he thought he was tough enough to go without water until he reached a BAJAPIT, SO the Water pack NEVER GOT FILLED WITH WATER. Stupid Gringo needs to take a sip of water from his water pack to stay hydrated every ten min-utes. OVERHEATED BAJA SOLO RIDER about to Boil Over!!! Chupacabra is laughing!!!! Then more Silt Beds to deal with after making about 100 more miles of insane terrain. It was getting dark and again NO STOPPING for Cup cakes and tea. MOVE!!, MOVE!!, MOVE!!, MOVE!!. Keep the bike in gear and make it move, Your head hurts, legs, hands, shoul-ders, feet, eyes. Keep Moving. Just before Loreto, Solo Racer gets stuck in the Silt beds, Overheats and sits for THREE HOURS trying to cool down. Disoriented and confused the BAJA 1000 has caught up with Mr. Glamis Dunes SOLO Rider. Ha Ha for you not prepared for certain death, The SOLO RACER said to him self, "please run me over and end it now" as he sat in the September 2008 middle of silt beds staring into space. Battery dead on the bike, no lights, can't see a thing, no one wants to help you get out of the silt beds. Death is on it's way. After cooling down and a loss of three hours now that adds up to nine lost race hours. SOLO RACER gets his wits about him, gets on the bike, starts it up and lets the battery charge, OH MY GOD!!!! The HID LIGHT WORKS!!! He can see and proceeds to drive the bike 50 feet to the left and finds hard packed ground and rides back into the race course. Chupacabra was laughing at the SOLO DUMB RACER for three hours, Ha Ha Gringo!!!! You lost more precious time. THE BAJA FORGNES NO ONE!!! 912 miles and He Stops to ask the crowd in Loreto where BAJAPITS #18 is. All together they say that the pit is closed and you are way behind in time. The race is over for you Gringo SOLO RACER. More lies from Chupacabra's ZOMBIES. The Pit is three miles ahead. To tired, drained and overheated, the SO LO RACER nods off to sleep. Two hours later he awakes and it's 5:30am, Seven hours to go 400 miles to Cabo San Lucas. Ain't go-ing to happen for this burned out racer. The Baja finally beat this SOLO RACER into the ground. Cross the finish late is a DNF. So accept the DNF and plan for and try smarter next year. The SOLO RACER fuels up in Loreto and heads north on the Mexican High-way to the US Boarder. Meets up with Ben Sheppard who is with his dad running the race course in his Porsche Baja Buggy at a PEMEX 110 mile north of Loreto. They ex-change stories. That Baja 1000 just slapped me hard Ben. It Kicked my butt. Ben say's you did well for the first time ever in BAJA and try again next year. Well there's 2008 and try it again. So after five days and 2000 miles of racing/riding home, Mr. Solo Racer got educated on how to survive the BAJA. The Precision Concepts prepped XR650R ran great. He got to the border, crossed and arrived home safe, He would do it all over again and had FUN at 50 years old. Now that's Living Life! He now wished he had listened to what seasoned Baja Racers had told him about the Baja and what it takes to make it. Here is what is now brought up to all newbie rac-ers when they ask if they can make the Baja Race Grade of just FIN-ISH: YOU Will have to survive THE DEVILS 666 (DIABLO) Stomp-ing Ground that is a Treacherous, Deadly, DUSTY, DUSTY, DUSTY, DUSTY, Ugly, Wet, Ven-omous, Insane, Loud, Dangerous, NO SLEEP!, Filthy, Fast Paced RACE that takes You (If you are tough enough) through Rivers of Rat Infested Sewage Three feet deep, 005000' Vertical Rock Face/ Mountain Elevations, Silt Beds that consume Whole Cars, Mexican Solders with M 16's, Huge Fallen Trees, Witches, Unspeakable sightings, Snow Storms, Wind Chill, Flash Floods, Laser Pointer to~lind You, lighting bolts that will hit your vehicle, Gold Mines, Cac-tus Needles that cause severe pain after you crash into one, narrow passes with 2500' drop offs, huge holes dug out by local Race Fans that flip a trophy truck over like it's a Tonka Toy, Water Snakes, Giant 351h Rodents that Consume Human Flesh, Big Hairy Flys, Packs of Coyotes/ W erewolves, Rabid Dogs, Bears, Mountain Lions, Fire Breathing Lizards, Walking Dead ZOMBIES, Purple/Orange Time Warps, Reverse Polar Magnetic Forces, Flash Floods, EDDY Cur-rents, Min/Max Calculus limits, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series applications, High Frequen-cies, Truth in Trigonometric & Stress Calculations for Welded Components, Quick Sand, Coils of 460VAC ELECTRICALLY CHARGED BARBED WIRE, ACID RAIN STORMS, Spiders, Plasma Arcs in the Sky, Lightning Bolts, CHUPACABRA, Pelted by Sharp Rocks as you get passed by faster drivers, Motorcycle Riders get run over by Trophy Trucks that just hear a Thump as they keep Racing, shredded tires, booby traps that can stop a $500,000.00 Race Car, dirt humps that rip out whole sus-pensions, Big Boulders that punch holes in your Engine/ T ranny Cases, cursed sections of the UNDEAD, Speed TRAPS on the Local 60MPH Paved Roads -LOCK YOU UP GRINGO!!!!, Total Darkness, False Triple Moons in Space, Bats, and Muddy Dirty, Filthy Water YOU don't want to drink. So please have expe-rience and! or be a Baja Survival Course Graduate, Paris-Dakar Racer, BAJAPIT CREWMAN, Fireman, Medic, ZOMBIE, Off Shore Oil Rig Operator, Death Row Inmate, Psycho Racer, DEAD MEN WALKING, Certified High Pressure Pipe Welder, Navy Seal, Superman, Superwoman, Superdog, Captain Kirk, Spock, Army Ranger, Top Gun Pilot, Bounty Hunter, Vietnam Vet, 007, Prisoners of All Wars Now let's get smart and Run the Baja 250 next. Which Mr. Solo racer did. We determined to prove to all that this Solo Racer could finish a BAJA, he entered the BAJA 250 in San Felipe, Mexico in March 2008 , Signed up with BAJAPITS, Drank Gallons of water months before the race, filled his Camel back pack with water, DID NOT STOP TO TALK WITH ANYONE, fell many times in the whoops, stalled the bike over five times and took a few min-utes to start the engine and screamed as this exercise was completed, fell very hard and had pains never known before and Finished SOLO with and Hour to Spare. Man that felt goodttt 51 Year Old SOLO RACER FINISHES BAJA 250!!!! Then the June 1st, 2008 The Baja 500. Wowllt What a trip to deal with that. Gringo SOLO RIDER came back to Ensenada with a determination to finish. Signed up with BAJAPITS, Rode the bike from San Diego on the road to Ensenada. Started at the Line and crossed that same line to finish in under Twenty Hours. A finish SOLO is just like a win!!! Eigh-teen and a half hours later, Solo Racer crosses the finish line to see Sal Fish. What a great feeling to cross that line. Then onto the US Border crossing with the same bike. NO FIATS, XR650R ran Great!!! And at the Age of 51. Also we just had some BAJAPITS for CODE -JACUME RACES and The upcoming SNORE KC LIGHTS MIDNIGHT RUN. BAJAPITS are all over the place to help you get through the races you attend. Please submit sto-ries as our readers love this race stuff data on your experiences out there on the course. ~ Page 51
