1030 start. 8 mile loop. 2hr + 1 lap. I think for me 6-8 laps tops. OEM peanut tank on the TXC450 1 fuel stop after 3 laps to be safe(maybe 4), check time at fuel. For me this is a no "race face" event, just a fun/careful loop ride (open road Mexico races are dangerous). The $1000 pro purse will have the fast guys going for it, I am counting on being lapped by the fast guys. Just want to participate not spectate! R
Classic, only in Mexico, race time change......(pre race "spy" video has us not only crossing but riding down the middle of the active track as part of the loop) Update: Start time has been changed from 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM. This is due to the fact that the train will arrive at 9:50 AM in Tecate. We want to make sure we have extra time to double check the railroads are clear before the start. Regards, Bebo.
more Tecate GP course pre-ride video added, this looks more in the comfort zone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UYuJNYASVI dust is definitley on the menu....
Only Husky represented, 46+ Masters Class, 2nd Place. 8 mile loop with endurocross infield section. Completed 5 laps, gas and break after 3. Bike worked great, course was challenging(very dusty at times) and was super cool starting on the street in the middle of town the Mayor waved the start, lots of spectators, lots of fun. Our San Diego crew all finished well and with no injury.
My machine post race #506. Note GPR pin fell out, I felt it on the fast stuff, but I did not know what the issue was until the morning foto session. Also Cafe crew note that Husqvarna NA pitched in for event sponsorship and the trophies came with Husqvarna labled on them. http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e338/robertaccio/Tecate GP 22OCT2011/
