ANDY MCMILLIN, No. 31 (First in class and first overall four-wheel vehicle. Andy started and drove to Race Mile 200, Scott McMillin drove from RM 200 to RM 511 and Andy drove from RM 511 to the finish.) – We started 10th. At the Baja 500, Bryce (Menzies) started in front of me and put a spanking on me so I didn’t want to let that happen in this race. I got a pretty quick pace off the starts and splashed fuel at mile 77 and by the time we got to the summit, I nerfed Larry Roeseler, got around Rob MacCachren, passed Curt LeDuc, Jesse Ashcraft. MacCachren got me back later in the summit and we were battling back and forth off his bumper until he pitted for fuel. Menzies was out front and I got by Kory Scheeler on the silt bed and I just started putting my pedal forward. I knew we were going to change drivers at Borrego and put my dad in so I wanted to get a couple of minutes on everyone just in case. Read the rest of this entry »

Baja 1000 best story in a long time. Kane Fraser, a paraplegic watched the “Dust to Glory” movie last year and said to himself “I can do that”. So he gets a UTV (Razer 900), pimps it out including hand controls and heads to Baja and the start line for the Baja 1000 2011. Out in front in the middle of the night he misses a turn and heads off towards the Mike’s section without doing the San Felipe loop! He figures out his mistake (awful fast race vehicles as of Trophy Trucks coming in FROM BEHIND), got an access road back to Valle de Trinidad and then the highway back to Borego. Doing so he does about +/- 100 extra miles at night, at Baja. Read the rest of this entry »
