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. Now – not confirmed -, this Canadian did a) never race before, b) never been to Baja Mexico and c) never been to the desert!! Is that guy one of the famous “Crazy Canucks” out of the late 70′s – early 80′s ???? 
One this is sure – he is the hero and emotional winner of the 2011 Baja 1000!! At 3:30hr Sunday morning the social media is buzzing about #1802 and Kane Fraser finishing the Baja 1000 almost 2 days after he started!! Trophy Truck #7 Team, themselves timed out of the race after problems most of the race with technical problems gave some support and follow #1802 in to the finish to Ensenada as rolling back-up just in case…. Lot’s of folks been following the progress all night at several discussion boards and on Facebook.
