This was the first year I took my raptor to Baja as well. We stayed all week at the hotel in Valley T and based our operations out of there. Personally I LOVE Valley T. Its out of Ensenada and away from all the "trouble" and every BIG race team stops there for fuel, tacos and occasionally stays at the same hotel. We always end up befriending the locals and they tend to look after us during our yearly visits, as long as we have ample ammounts of steekers and do plenty of wheelies. The racecourse usually stays near Valley T so its always a prime spot to stay. I cant say enough about the trucks performance. I was the support truck for two bikes but ended up prerunning a lot of the course. I see you went left onto the compadre trail, while I went right and stayed on the racecourse. Don't do that, It was an extremely narrow, rocky, and dusty ride with the occasional half a million dollar prerunner showing up out of now where in my rear view mirror. Fortunately the truck performed flawlessly and only sustained minor body scratching (exterior B pillars, fender flairs, and black plastic trim) and I think I overheated the power steering fluid. You got to love a "prerunner" with a warranty. I'll be back next year chasing bikes again and tackling what part of the course I can.
As for the post Baja squeaks, I still cant stop them. All of mine are from silt working its way into the weatherstripping and causing some of the most annoying rubber on rubber squeaks I have ever heard (it was 1,300 miles home), but nothing a good detail wont fix.
If Treypal isn't racing next year, I think he should put together another Baja run.
