Doesn't look like we're going to make the race. Too many commitments. I'm bummed that we can be putting some dust up for the black bronco to drive through. The new heads have really awaken the motor. There are six hundred little ponies for giddy-up now. It's really fun to drive. Oh well....

But the rest is Completely up-in the air..
One of our chase trucks have dropped out. :bangdesk:
I might be taking Blanco to Chase or Might not? :shrug:
Being I have no race radio or GPS or Sat Phone etc etc...
Its not the best plan but its all open as of now.:6:

> Brian Collins/Larry Ragland [vehicle No. 12] powered

> a seven-minute, 16-second win over Monster rival
> Alan Pflueger. Ragland
> notched his fourth overall SCORE Baja 500
> championship, tying him for the third
> most all time. In addition to claiming the overall
> titles in 1982 (Class 1),
> 1984 (Class 1), 2000 and this year, he also won
> class championships in 1991
> (Class 8) and 2002, giving him six wins here in
> three different classes. Since
> SCORE Trophy-Truck debuted in 1994, Ragland has
> logged nine race titles,
> trailing only Ed/Tim Herbst’s 11 wins. Eight of
> those nine wins have come in Mexico,
> with the lone exception being last year’s SCORE
> Las Vegas Primm 300 with
> Collins. He has the distinction of winning at least
> SCORE Trophy-Truck race in
> eight of the 13 years, the most of any driver,
> although he has never been a
> season champion in the featured class. Collins
> claimed his third SCORE
> Trophy-Truck victory, while he was also victorious
> in Class 8 in the 1997 and 1998 SCORE
> Baja 500s.

> “We are very happy Larry Ragland took the truck
> home,” Collins said. “He
> had wonderful day. I had a great day, not a flat
> tire all day long; the truck
> ran perfect. It’s nice to have a day where you
> have no problems - it makes
> it look easy but we put a lot of work into it, our
> sponsors put a lot of work
> into it. We are very fortunate to get to win. I
> drove the first 155 miles; it

> Larry Ragland drove the rest

> Alan Pflueger [28] finished second, just as he did

> SCORE Baja 500 as well as
> the SCORE Las Vegas Primm 300.
>
> “I wish this was just half way!” Pflueger
> proclaimed. “The course was
> good. The biggest challenge that we had all day was
> just slow drivers holding us
> up. We bumped some guys that didn’t get out of
> the way and to me, that’s
> unfortunate because there is a little bit of honor
> in this sport and I lost
> respect for some people out there. But that is ok;
> we will just hit them harder
> next time and send them off the trail. Our strategy
> is to attack every
> opportunity we have, that’s what we did all day.
> We never hold back, we soloed this

> Josh Baldwin [86] finished third ahead of B.J.
> Baldwin, (97) (No relation)
> for the first time this season after placing higher
> each race last year.
> “It was an awesome race,” Josh declared. “We
> had to change a drive shaft,

> we had a stellar day; we were leading for a while.
> Just an awesome day, couldn’

> B.J. Baldwin, (97)
> “It was really dusty and bumpy,” B.J. observed.
> “We had a handful of

> Overall it was a good

> Garron Cadiente [38], the winner of the Tecate SCORE
> San Felipe 250 in March,
> placed fifth. He was 52 seconds behind B.J. Baldwin
> and just over 34 minutes
> behind Collins and Ragland.
> “The race was good but it was tough,” explained
> Cadiente. “We had a few
> problems; we had four flats today so that slowed us
> down quite a bit. We had a
> flat at mile 40, we lost a lot of positions. Later
> we had another flat and we
> were missing our jack so we had to drive on a flat

> PROTRUCK
