2013 Baja 1000 Carnage

Phyguy · Nov 16, 2013

Overdrove my truck deep in the desert of mexico at around race mile 460. Broken knuckle, LCA ball joint, IWE, brake cable, speed sensor and half shaft. Only stock parts broke. I was working the pit with locos mocos and a couple of their fabricators did a crazy awesome job on a trailside fix to get me going. This is another crazy and awesome Baja story that I'll update when it's over. Note to self: stock knuckles SUCK...even with a driver that ran out of talent. Still had the opportunity to rescue an injured and broken down MX'er and take him 45 miles off road to the nearest checkpoint. I haven't looked up who this is yet, but his name is Oscar and his mom owns a restaurant in El Rosario Mexico. She fed me a great free meal that night for helping her son. Baja rocks but is hard on the wallet.

More updates to come.

Glad you're able to roll with the punches out there. Wish I had enough vacation to go down there.

For now. And a stock LCA ball joint. Just to get back to Colorado and to last me enough time to figure out the best path for future proofing my front end.
