I suppose its doable, time will tell for sure.

I suppose its doable, time will tell for sure.

Of course it is...

I saw it back in 2011 when the guys from indiana,missurri, and other state did the 1000..

The 3 basic steps are:

Start the savings

Start planning your work/school vacations for 2014

Keep your self motivated and in communication with all the team members..

Just see my thread of this years 500, ill pump you like crazy and I'm still missing some videos.

also tell it to your friends... HEY GUYS/FAMILY, ILL BE DOING THE BAJA 500 next year , I'm so pumped..

That will help you stay motivated...

 

[CJM]

My only issue is getting the time off work really. Vacations dont come all too easily when you work for a small company (as in less than 1o ppl). Getting a week off (like Id want) might just not be feasible IDK (I can try and make them lol..wtf they gonna do fire me?).

Its more of a money thing for me, I had to sell one quad to build another-thats how poor I am lol. I make good money but got alot of bills.

Anyways we got a year to make it happen, and Im gonna try mamito but I cant promise anything right now.

Ugh! Wish I had a real job and money!

That's great man that ur on the works for this adventure... and were all old guys, ill be35 when I do this..

The $ again its only a matter of savings, that's why we do it with a lot of time, to save just a few per paycheck.

Also we need to also consider the tax return just in case every one wants to have their own emergency $ as personnal backup.

Again you just need to have a working quad for prerunning, we can race in mine. Its not its firts or its last..

So let do the list:

1- me(rider of record/ team captain)

2- CJM…

3- ???

4- ???

5- ???

Ill make an email today for the pp acct.

Its just so far! I have given a little thought about it.. If I am to be interested it depends on what the NorthEast guys are doing, the more of us that go the better the trip would be financially and 40 hours of driving is a lot for anyone lol

40hrs!! Wtf!

Ur not that far. Ull make it to my house in no more than 2 days, I drove from Miami to California in 2 days, almost non stop(but I do admit I was in a Skyline R33)

There u go.. we got our 3rd guy..

Just ask anyquestion you guys would like answered and ill do my best to explain it and brief you on the adventure

Also were going to be racing on Class 24, Pro 450 or less

 

[CJM]

So far is right, you got maybe 10+ hours over me Dave lol.

In my eyes we need at least 4 of us to do this right, that way costs, ride time, etc will be minimal. There is still plenty of time to plan however.

Marc... You should do a bikini car wash fund raiser!!

5 will be perfect, 100 miles each its good for me...

 

[Baileyguns]

That's fine too! As long as your gettin that dollar! lol

 

[El Mamito USMC]

:gr_wink:

That's fine too! As long as your gettin that dollar! lol

So what up any more takers?? We got 3 so far...

I got 90% of the adventure in the books. Just need to see the carpooling part of it.

You guys need to work that out. Once u reach NM, ill take over..

 

[El Mamito USMC]

C'mon guys.....

2 more SERIOUS RIDERS and we start the count down....

 

[El Mamito USMC]

update we got out 4th rider...

 

[El Mamito USMC]

I am very interested in racing the baja 500 with you guys. This has always been a dream of mine. Roughly how much would it cost per person?? Let me know if you get this and I would like to discuss this more with you.
Thanks

Thanks for your interest.. well I calculated about 1K per rider... because we need to pay: housing, food, baja pits support, gas and food for prerunning, entry fee+membership. Gas to get and return from Baja.

So if we get at least 5k, I'm sure its more than suficient to cover these cost.

Where you located? What's you ride? Do you have a truck to bring your atv to my house or to Baja?

I am 97% in!! Other 3% just in case something happens. I have already spoken with a company that is willing to support us with a few$$.

Not sure what route you guys from the NE would take. I am just outside of Las Vegas, NV if it's better for you to come this way...meet up and then head down. Just throwing that out there.

We can do this guys! Like Mamito said, $50-100 a month is doable. We throw that away each month in BS.

[El Mamito USMC]

ok guys now that we have 6 riders 500/6= 83 miles per rider or 500/5=100 miles per rider

its still a nice amount of miles so its good for all of us..

so far ill need to know each riders HONEST skill level to try to determine who will do what section.

me probably will just start the quad , since ill be the rider of record, and hand it down to the next rider before heading into the arroyo. ...

and then ill probably take one of the last sections since im the "most experience" one riding a nigth and with Trophy Truck catching up to you..

if any of the riders like mawest or tkup is experience riding at dark or semi dark (i got some nice led bars in my quad so ligthing its not a problem) they can take the last sections, since i do want to get in and out as soon as possible to ensure a good chase for the quad.. illl probably take the summit and "el saldana... "

we should be able to do it in 10-14 hrs that would put us on a 35mph average.. not bad really.. we migth not even have to use the ligths at all.. but its always better to be safe than sorry...

im leaving here a map of this years 500 so you guys have an idea of what the next years course migth look like..
