according to his time, he finished with like 52 seconds remaining? I think they go for 36hrs and his time was 35hr, 59min and 8 seconds total time....

8125 was the black gen 1 raptor in stock full class

I looked at the times as well, then I looked at the massive array of DNF's. Fact that truck is almost stock, did the whole race on 1 set of tires, then he drove the damn thing home.

Big Big props to Greg and team.

Pretty sure they had that on a trailer and it drove home that way.

Edit: Guess he did. Heard they had to put one of the Raptor Gen2 chase trucks on the trailer, wonder what happened there.

Wow, that's amazing that they finished with 52 seconds before the 36 hr time limit!! That's cutting it about as close as possible. Also, I looked over the results list and the Gen 1 was No. 8125 and is listed as DNF. So that means that there were 6 total vehicles in the Stock Full class. Only 3 finished: Hall, Tassel, and Foutz. Just shows how tough the race was w/only 50% of the class finishing. It's amazing that the Gen 2 Raptor, which was essentially stock except for the required safety mods (and minor suspension upgrades for added weight and adjustability), was able to last through that. Pretty damn impressive (cue the claps...). Nice job Foutz and team to stick with it, literally down to the last second!!! I would like to know what caused the few down times throughout the race.

According to this article no raptors to dealerships until early December. Foutz finished Baja 1000. 2017 Ford Raptor Finished the Grueling 2016 Baja 1000 Race [News] - The Fast Lane Truck

LOL if its early Dec, that would put the OKTB today or tomorrow. Then figure 2+ weeks for them to actually show up to the dealers because of the holidays.

I don't think the Gen 1 actually competed. It doesn't show up on the map at all. I think it saw the course, got scared, and went and hid in the parking lot.
