Another local Hare scramble type event, south of the border, this one from ZR Promotions Racing. This group usually does more open "Baja" open Dez type races (ie Dirt Roads, High Speeds). This event is sponsored By DP Racing. I'm in. Aug heat and dust can be a factor and I'm still in summer relax mode, but what the heck it's for fun anyway. This starts in the field and into the woods across from Hacienda Santa Veronica (like more than one of Los Ancianos Tecate HS races of the past, in 2005 East Coaster Nathan Kanney won the event that took place from this location). Organizer/Promoter of event http://www.zrpromo.com/index.asp?Modulo=0&Subseccion=56 https://www.facebook.com/events/1712353795696030/ That's what I like.
Just saw the sign up, preregistration list, I asked for it, I got it. 6, 50+ open class guys so far (1 is 60+) , all appear to be Baja open course racers (SCORE guys). The map of the course looks like 30% single track 70% fire road type stuff=fast. Not my fave type of racing, but I will feel it out and ride in comfort/safe mode. Its seat time and there is a good old guy class competition level for this one. I bet I will be the only 2 stroke guy in class and most will be on CRF450s (SCORE guys) and some Katos too I'm sure. Will reinstall big tank and go for a non stop ride for 1.5 hours. Loop is @ 10 miles. I'm thinking 5 laps, if its more I will learn how far I can go on the IMS tank- I will start in the on position for reserve insurance if needed. Already hydrating and RynoPower carb loading. Because of potential speeds I am taking this more serious to be safe, rather a fun slower single track trail ride/race like I take most of the other local HS/XC races we do .
Ron, This is also well put together by ZR Promo, but this org. is much more "Baja" style than the Los Ancianos and PuertaMX "eastern" style. Even the sign up sheet tells that, it looks a SCORE registration card.

That was hot......by the time we finished it was balmy 102 in the sun.......but its a dry heat....... course was fun except some sections of very deep sandy whoops....not my cup of tea, overall the course was challenging and was fun, some good trials sections, not big hard sections but good ones. Oh and did i MENTION DUST....until it spread out it was blinding. Nate Husky Graham (Jarvis) did 5 laps and won the 40+ open class on his sjhowroom fresh 2016 FE450 Robert (Robertaccio) Nantista won the 50+ open class and thankfully was lapped by OA winner Justin Morgan so I did 4 laps @ 40 miles.
Nathan is like this...my race bike is still my TE300, this FE450 is my do all bike. For the multi day and point to point Baja stuff. As usual for Nathan he ripped on it, he did a few pre race mods, GPR GPR top triple, his trademark Blue hubs with some spacer modification for his model, oh and he made it loud- mexico loud, no insert, the thing rips. 40+ class was loaded with fast guys he won class, I was also glad when Nate lapped me as well. He can tell you what happened to his 300, shes having a rebuild
official results http://zrpromo.com/index.asp?Modulo=0&Subseccion=56 Husky FE450 wins 40+ (Nate Husky), Beta300RR 2nd (Steve, Beta dealer C&D Cycles) Husky TE300 wins 50+(Accio), mi compa Hozkar (Oscar) 2nd he is the PuertaMX racing owner/ promo guy. and jeez the entire top 4 pros are all DP Racing crew members. interesting and cool is that the Ochoa clan 1st and 3rd in experts , son first dad 3rd always both on KX green, great people.
