Anyone else watching this race? I don't know much about Baja 1000s other than I wish I could go see a finish line event and it seems like this one would've been a good one since it ends in Ensenada, which I think is a first in Baja history but I can't make it, ah well. 

The team I'm looking at is the trio of Bryce Menzies, Andy McMillin and Tavo Vildosola in Trophy Truck class but mostly because my friend is pit crew for the Vildosola team and my Facebook gets all the spam. It's definitely eye candy when it comes to the machines they are now running. When 2wd was thought the most efficient and effective, they bring the 4wd to play now and they dominate! 

The other thing is the terrain, I've seen some of the stuff posted by FishGistics and certain ruts in like the Laredo area, those are deeeeep! Quite challenging I'm sure. 

With technology today, isn't it possible to watch the run live? I know they are running starlink systems, isn't that as good as high speed internet to transmit signal at 4k lol 😆 I'm asking a lot, I know hahaa. Anyone know where to watch? I usually just watch Fish do his updates live on FB, but I want to see more action in real time. 

How many Speed UTVs in there? Haven't heard anything about that. Not being douchy, just curious. 

Flag drops tomorrow! Can't wait to see some stuff. Good luck to all teams!

No on track video but you can track racers on the Score website. Lots of info and easy to navigate. They will have video of the start and finish line

They are the team to beat.  If they have no issues they will win the race.  My friend is down there with team.  

Going to be a long race.

Fishgistics does hourly update shows.  Best way to get caught up with the action.

Definitely! But the drivers are only half the battle. Truck has to hold! Can't wait to see. They are absolute monsters out there though. Drivers and machines become one! Most intense race and all happens right here. Love it!

That is the Proctor racing truck.   It is super impressive in person.    Not much Ridgeline, but it is a Honda motor.

Hopefully the truck holds up.    They are due for a Baja 1000 win.   

 
Bryce in the physical lead at mile 430.  Going to driver change at 520.  Not sure on corrected time.  My buddy is helping them with the race.  He just texted me.

Nice to have a person there giving updates.  He sent me some pictures today.  About to do a driver change. 

If the car holds together they will win.

Yea! Menzies did his thing now time for Andy McMillin to take over but Alan Ampudia is right there with them. I think Tavo will finish up that stretch from San Felipe and he's got the experience there. It's going to be good! 

Also, there is plenty of live feeds as I wanted, so freaking awesome to see. I couldn't last 20min in that truck let alone a dirtbike. Sheeeeesh!!!
