2015 NORRA Mex 1k, Vintage Chase for a Vintage Race

[1leglance]

I thought you guys might enjoy a look at one of our vintage burbs out playing in Baja.

Well I have been back home safe and sound for a week now so I figured it was time to post up some kind of trip report.
This is also to encourage anyone interested in getting down to Baja either for fun or to chase for a race team.

It all started in 2012 with a friend ToddZ who co-owns the 1969 Baja 1000 winning Bronco and his effort with friends to race the Mexican 1000. I had a blast and this year it worked out that I could chase again. However the vehicle this year was a different early Bronco and some new friends along with part of the previous cast of characters.

Friday evening found 3 of us in my 1970 Suburban in route to San Diego fighting some insane fog...Here is a shot out my windshield and my Burb at the hotel the next morning. Pics are mine, Todd's, Andrew's, and my wife Veronica's....not going to hassle with more credit than that


This was about as clean and shinny as my Burb was even till today


Saturday am found us up early on and the road. The crossing in TJ was a breeze and $20 USD got us all 30 trip permit for Mexico. The permit are easy to get and Mexico is starting to ask for them more, hey it is the law and worth following.
Tech inspection was the insanity is always is and registration as much so. NORRA does an amazing job of herding cats/racers. As is my norm I get into Comandante mode making sure we make drivers meetings, Rally Nav class and actually get our vehicle through Tech Inspection.


It was nice to see another Chevy, and of course it was the BFI guys who are a hoot and always fun. Everywhere I went folks thought I was either them or chasing for them


more to come.....
