Zorros Racing taking on the Tecate Score Baja 500, 2014

Alright guys I have made 2 phone calls this morning. I have 2 buddies that are not racing at the time but have raced in the past. They are going to mule it over and talk with their better half and get to me. I will keep you posted ASAP.
 
Specialist on Saturday. I am hoping for good news. On the bright side the knee is feeling ok right now, and the swelling is going down. I'm hopefull, I really want to run baja.
 
Ok the doc says if I want to continue doing all the fun things I like to do, I am going to need to get operated on, or put my life on permanent hold and get fat, and do nothing that I like to do. So my choice is the surgery and rehab, because sitting at home is a waste of life. So unfortunately I am going to have to bow out regretfully. Again any monies I have thrown in I do not want back at least a piece of me will be there. Do you guys need another radio, I did go out and buy an icom like mamito was talking about. I'll send it out to whom ever, it will not get used by me anyway. I'm sorry guys, I can't sit on the couch the rest of my life. I need to fix this problem. Good luck boys.
 
Mamito I have a few questions for you, (I tried to read the most I could but there is 24 pages of post), just to sum up.

How much is needed per rider? (~$1500)
Days planned for pre-running? as team or individual?

I am interested in joining I am in the process of determining days I would need off from work to see if I can make it official.

Background:
6-01" 185 lbs
Raced: Quads, Jeep Rock crawling, Jr. Dragsters and Mountain Bike
Bike: 07 TRX450 - Desert set up

ok Medina... heres the basic brake down..

1- yes 1.5 K is the basic fund. with that is to cover the rooms, gas, 3 meals a day, membership, Baja pits, entry fee, tracker fee. its highly recommended that your guys bring your own money just in case we do run out of money from the main pot. any left over money from it will be divided in 4 to the riders..

2- travel day is may 31 , saturday. if you live in Phnx, youll meet us in the I-8 and I-10, near casa grande. there you join us and drive with us. its going to be a few vehicles since we also have a team from Hermosillo Sonora, joining us and traveling with us.. ill have an open 16ft trailer with my quad and chirs quad(he comes from Dallas), the other rider Mark is from Vegas and he'll drive down directly... there. soin total will be 3-4 chase trucks, yours , mines, chris and my wifes cherokee if needed.

3- pre running will be as pair or team if any one wants. so if all 4 want to go and get some by all means ... the more the safer ill be ..

4- so days off its from may 31 to june 8th

5- paypal for the deposit: zorrosracingbaja5002014@gmail.com



ok heres a few questions of mine:

1- have you ever race Baja or district 38 or any desert race? where? when?

2-how smart and safe rider are you, in total honestly? reason is that we need to take care of the quad so we can deliver it to the next rider,

3- one of the conditions of being a team member is that if parts are need to fix the quad are you willing to "brake apart" your quad to fix mine or use yours to keep racing..

4- are you ok with twist throttle? since its whats on my quad ...

5- are you mechanicly inclined ? so you can do the basic repairs on it and know what your doing.

6- are you willing to accept the uniform fees and get the uniforms we already ordered to be made? your about Vasilios size so you should be good..





post some pics of you and your quad, so we can see ya... and accpet me with my Zorros RT fb acct so we can talk..

any questions????
 
ok heres a few questions of mine:

1- have you ever race Baja or district 38 or any desert race? where? when?

Desert race with AZOP, chased in Baja 2012, 2013, Riding since I was 7 yrs old mostly desert and mountains.

2-how smart and safe rider are you, in total honestly? reason is that we need to take care of the quad so we can deliver it to the next rider,

It's an endurance race should I say more... been around desert racing since I was a little kid.

3- one of the conditions of being a team member is that if parts are need to fix the quad are you willing to "brake apart" your quad to fix mine or use yours to keep racing..

Not a problem I would suggest replacing a few of your bike parts with mine before the race if everything works out.

4- are you ok with twist throttle? since its whats on my quad ...

I prefer twist throttle, actually I have a dual gasser if necesary.

5- are you mechanicly inclined ? so you can do the basic repairs on it and know what your doing.

Yes I am mechanically inclined.

6- are you willing to accept the uniform fees and get the uniforms we already ordered to be made? your about Vasilios size so you should be good..

How much is the uniform fee's? and what does it include? Can I order more?

some good pics from Laguna Salada... in this past San Felipe 250 , if every thing goes the same , this should be Stinky section..

I have a ton more of them but here's a selection of the motos & quads zipping over the lakebed at Laguna Del Diablo. Super flat, super straight so they were really hauling ass coming across.

4x coming past, running 2nd.

702x, Tony Gera out of Santa Cruz, working on a shoe-string budget, running 4th across the lake and making time on the leaders. He ran out of gas later on and had to push the bike for 2 miles but had a great race overall.

Hey guys...

well I got the days off from work and should be able to join the adventure.

Not good at intro's but ill give it a shot

Ive have been ridding since I was 7 yrs old with a Yamaha blaster Funnnnn....Born and raised in AZ (speak fluent Spanish)
Been going to baja for the past couple of years. Recently graduated college from UofA.
So far a friend is joining to help out he will also bring his quad to prerun.
6'1" @ 180 lbs ok shape but need to work on endurance training, idea is to train as if I was going to race the 500 Ironman.
Being on such a short notice I will have to save like a mad man to have enough money for the trip (just bought a house).
I will also leave Saturday May31 with the team.
