Craig and his band of baja brothers are going for a repeat! Something that is very hard to do in desert racing. The ATV team races a very well prepared Honda TRX450r. Leonard Duncan from Duncan Racing does the prepwork for this championship team. His co-riders include Steve Abrego, David Scott, current BITD champ, GNCC racer Andy Lagzdines. They have been down in Baja pre-running all week. Tommorow is contingency and tech inspection and hopefully some relaxing.
Here is the Spot tracking link for Team Christys Racing.

The 42nd annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 is this weekend in Ensanda, Mexico. NASCAR racer Robby Gordon will look to earn the overall series title along with a 1000 victory, but there are a number of great teams that will be looking for that ellusive 1000 victory. Anyone planning on going this year? What are your thoughts on Baja in general with some of the security issues in recent years. I started a discussion on the message board here. Hop on and give your two cents on the race and Baja in general. I'm curious to hear what the off-road community thinks of this changing off-road locale.

Other udpates to follow when they come in....
Right now there are 50 plus pings on there......Looks jumbled.....I will hide the pre running data on race day, this saturday.
Update 1117/09
Prerunning went well. Jason says the course is a bit harder than he anticipated. Not sure if its the equipment he isnt used to ??? So far he is getting used to the Arctic Cat Thundercat. Handles a little different than the Can Am Renegae he has. The Mikes loop is tough and the road out of Matomi Wash is tougher than it has ever been.
Once again the Vegas Valley 4Wheelers "got it done right!" The 29th Annual Hump 'N Bump was a tremendous success with over 200 rigs registered and several wonderful wheeling trails on the menu. Stacie and I were able to recruit several new BlueRibbon Coalition members, and we represented BFGoodrich Tires in a tire give-away to support the raffle. BFG kicked in five (5) tires up to 37's for one lucky winner. Awesome.
Hump 'N Bump supports the Southern Nevada Trail Fund which helps support groups like BlueRibbon Coalition and United Four Wheel Drive Associations and others.
Some businesses supporting the cause at the event included Ted Wiens Custom 4x4 from Vegas, Genright Off Road, Go Treks, Superchips, Findlay Toyota, Olympic4x4 Products, Maximum OffRoad.com, OptimumGear.com, Magnum Ink, and others. Tread Lightly (and BLM) were also on sight with a very nice display and friendly folks to help answer questions.
Notably, we found nearly NO trash on the trails and EVERYONE was courteous and smilling the entire event. I did manage to scare my better half (Stacie) with a few tail-walking airborne Jeep episodes, but no damage was done and my Jeep is ready for another adventure.

Hey everyone, I would like to know what your opinions or comments are pertaining to this years Off Road Expo. What did you think?. I attended, however, I was disappointed to find out that there were only 3 buildings to view (Building 4,5 & 6), last year it was great...all buildings were up and running!!. This year not all that!!!....even though there was a lot to see I was a bit unpleased. There were some good booths and some nice vehicles on display, not to mention some of the cute models....but where were the Off-Road.com girls??; they were not present, which was a bit sad!!. All I'm asking for is your opinion on the matter, whether it's good or bad. What did all you who attended think of the expo? Where you content or disappointed with this years show?. Thanks to all who respond!!. Late.
