Ok guys - multiple times announced - I really tried hard to make it for the 500 but: I failed!! It was more convenient at the time of the Baja 500 in Ensenada to go "quick" live with this domain - www.bajaracing-live.com - for the Baja web Race casts and take the time to iron all kinks out at PURO OFF ROAD. Our www.puro-off-road.com is now online for the 4th year and we're glad it's on its way up again. "We" and "us"?? - well there are 3 guys working on it who do the brainstorming: "Memin" is sitting down in the Baja in the La Paz area then there is a "race-nut" somewhere in the southern part of Germany "Schwoisfuss" and then we've got our buddy in RSA - Southafrica that is, doing his part. (and again to make sure you get it, still seems there are lots of suspicious people out there: NO M.O. involvement at all here or anywhere else, not even with one of the @#&% a.k.a.'s. Hey, we got cleared.... :-) It's funny how time spreads people out all over the world but racing and the love for the motorsport keeps them connected. Baja ...

Robby Gordon’s Response to SCORE’s Alleged Accusations - Charlotte, NC (June 12, 2009) – We are deeply disappointed with SCORE’s decision and reject their claims in the strongest possible terms. We plan an immediate appeal of this unjust decision. First, SCORE assessed a speeding penalty because it claimed that there was no IRC data between kilometer 77 and kilometer 78. The IRC device on our vehicle worked properly during all other sections of the race course, and Steve Myers from IRC has no explanation why no IRC data exists from that section alone. Our race team has footage of the entire race, and the video below proves that we were not speeding during the section in question (see the link below). Further, the No. 77 Trophy Truck has a speed control device connected to the engine management system that does not allow it to exceed 60 MPH. [singlepb]r0HG8Wwk9PQ[/singlepb] This video shows that it took the No. 77 TT longer than 72 seconds to travel the 1.2 miles of highway between km 77 and 78, which is less than a 60MPH average allowed by the rule. Please note that you can hear the pit speed control set at 59MPH. The pit violations claims are ...

It's not all that bad - Robby Gordon always will be a winner with the Baja Racing fans - yet from winner to position 7 in the race standing is the "verdict" by SCORE. SCORE Intl. released the official results today for the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 this past weekend, and there's a huge shakeup for the Trophy Truck class, with Rick D. Johnson taking the win, while Nick Vanderwey moved into second overall. Robby Gordon and BJ Baldwin moved down to seventh and eighth place, respectively. The overall win for the race went to Class 1 Harley Letner, who finished with the best time. The changes to the official results come after review of the tracking devices used by each driver, and penalties for speeding or missing/cutting parts of the course are imposed. it will be quiet interesting to get the first response from Robby Gordon in that matter. There truly (for good or bad) is no one else in Offroad Racing quite like Robby Gordon. A look at his career suggests he was meant for the path of a lone wolf! To me he's the kind of "old" racer - go out at the green flag with the knife ...

READ THE COMMENT BELOW IN REGARD UPDATE - BAJA 500 RACE RESULTS.Hey folks up there in Escondido, I been watching you, as many others also. Great job for second place for Armin Schwarz, Germany/Martin Christensen, Escondido, Calif. (Denmark), Jimco-BMW and third place to Armin Kremer, Germany/Andreas Aigner, Austria in Class1 SCORE off road racing. Martin and I talked only a few times in the past - I was looking for the contact last year with AGM... I just get a kick of you guys. It's to sad that Mario Theissen at BMW Motorsports don't support you at all. Hey, maybe we should ask them direct?? Let's make it a competition just like racing - last year we posted an open mail to VW and the diesel TT story, Mark Miller, the VW factory driver, second place this years Dakar and Clark Campbell VW motorsport North America went back at us at www.puro-off-road.com within just a few hours - should we do a race for that also?? VW versa BMW?? Well, it's no the reason we do this post here so let's stick with the principals of just saying: great job, super team result and after the race is before the race.... ...

General Tire Burnouts at the Baja 500, BJ Baldwin and Jason Voss making some smoke! This is soooo sweet. I real like the sound of B.J.'s Chevrolet, (hey no offense Jason Voss, ok) There will be never a replacement for some serious Detroit V8 power and the sound that comes with it. I assume down the road Baja Racing, Offroad Racing, heck even most of the motorsport will change for many reasons, we are in that situation already with reduced starter fields, teams downsizing for $ reasons, large companies like Chevrolet and Chrysler going broke. Companies with a big history also in motorsport and desert racing, this is all very sad for a race fan to see but it's the reality. It will be hard for any car manufacture in the world to justify to the mainstream Joe Dow that millions are spend in the sport while 1000's of workers get laid off. It will be hard to justify to run engines that burn huge amounts of gasoline while somewhere else the ecologic / environmental point is taken a bigger impact on our daily life as in saving energy. And no - I'm not a tree-hugger or green environmental ...

Baja Racing News and Baja 500 disappointment - this is on a personal level + everybody else I think feels the same - and it has nothing to do with the sport. For me, as  a website admin,  today's Baja 500 was a huge disappointment. This disappointment is not based on the racing or the quantity of website visitors but based on what you can read here. I mean i am real huge disappointed!! We've been building this website and that needs time and effort, no matter how or what. You may not  like the looks, heck often we don't like the looks also. We are not web designers at 100% - talking about the looks and colors and so on- but we know our "shit" in the background pretty good. It is probably just a coincidence that this domain we have - and several others - have a similar name as a person known as Baja's Offroad Racing most hated person. We do not go out and buy domains looking first who else maybe has a similar looking one. We buy a domain based on what we want - anyway that does not really matter. The domains were available ...

This is just a quick update for the "real" baja race fans out there. These results are in no way official and we get them at CoverIt Live while there are still tons of guys out there racing. So without disrespect to them as we could not confirm the results as such.  Spending actually a lot of time getting the site working as well as tried to get our "mother website" www.puro-off-road.com back online. Long story, even more work to do so and we did not make it at Puro Offroad yet we believe we maintained a reasonable service here  . Why otherwise would all the people have been visiting here. We will write about that all in detail at the next post within the next hour or so. According to CoverIt the result for the trophy trucks and top Class 1 finishers are: Trophy Truck: 1.) Robby Gordon 2) BJ Baldwin 3) Norman / Roessler 4) Pierce / Julson 5) Herbst 6) Collins / Julson 7) Rick Johnson 7) Vanderway In Class 1 Armin Schwarz - All German Motorsports was first finisher yet on corrected time is the overall winner at Class 1 at the 2009 Baja 500 Harley Letner. We will post more and detailed as soon as we get ...

At 6 a.m. Saturday for the motorcycle and ATV classes in the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 got left of the leash, followed by the car and truck classes three hours after the last ATV at approximately 10 a.m. With vehicles starting one every 30 seconds in the elapsed-time race, it will start and finish in front of the Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center on Boulevard Costero in the heart of Ensenada, leaving and returning into the city through the spectator-laden Arroyo Wash.

Good morning race fans! It's a beautiful morning in Ensenada and just like in Indianapolis and the 500 at the brickyard the call for: "Racers - Start your engines" is here! We at BajaRacing Live, your Baja Racing News Webcast source wishing all racers and race teams a great race. We are looking forward to watch you guys dicing it out at the race course fair and square. We believe this years Baja 500 will be more watched as ever before just alone for the reason that many teams been forced to cancel the plans to participate for economic reasons. To bad, it's also sad for all the La Paz folks and the Baja Sur race fans since this year would been "our" race with the finish line in La Paz. We gonna get the race another time - today it's Ensenada and Baja desert Racing with all them race pilots - the racers in the 4 wheel car classes have a little more time while the 2wheel artists are living right now from the starting grid. Good Luck, good Speed and make the desert rumble!! The weather is great and for more information on Baja Weather visit the Baja Weather ...
