Didn't they say it was a few miles in? Really rough? I have no recent news on 10x, but they may not be using BJ pits, which was about the latest accurate report. edit: this is where to listen, click on stream 4, though it does take a bit to get going, and long silent periods. http://www.race-dezert.com/home/baja-1000-2010-2
I think its about 30 something kilometers from the highway to San Javier mission, on a very rough road. Turn off to San Javier is about 7 kilometers south of Loreto proper. Lets hope they take full C-spine and neck precautions and get him packaged very well. Thats going to be a rough ride out of there in the back of an FD pick up truck, back to Loreto.
Johhny Campbell himself just came up on the air to talk with weatherman. Johhny said hes been down a long time. Damn, not good...feel so helpless up here in SD...wish I was there to help out

very happy to hear this, My comment on Baja and other rally type racing.even if no one asked I would race any of these events, but never on a bike, especially knowing that 800hp trucks are on the same course, behind you. Racing in a truck, car, buggy OK. This is a huge event and is racing so I do have interest. However any offroad open course moto race that has a winning speed average in the 60s (average ) is nuts and really with no real gain except a claim of a finish, again cars/trucks thats ok. That is a very basic idea of my thoughts on this type of racing. Glad justin is OK I hope all the competitors are OK and are satisfied with their own finishes or endings. my 2 cents.
That is great news about Justin. If anyone has anything they want to post by all means feel free. Apparently 153x (Anna Cody) is about to finish for instance, read that somewhere... I am continuing to look for info on 5x, 10x, 305x...
Apparently 10x is the only with no recent news at this point. And 305x seems to still be out there somewhere. from tt: Team 153X just crossed finish line. 2nd Class 20 151X appears to be about 100 miles behind. Anna had to push the bike the last 3 miles! That's BAJA TOUGH! ........................ 5x just finished -- also anna cody's team
