    I will be out of country until May 3. Driving in the Norra 2010 Mexican 1000 Rally. This is truly OLD SCHOOL so just couldn't miss it.
    www.norra.com Tells the history lots of different things of intrest
    Will be able to track it on 2 or 3 sites www.racetheworld.net will have links. www.trackinginternational.com there go to TI all access will have live feeds and vid's and interviews, along with sat tracking.
    Thoes who did the Baja ride will remember much of it south of San Felipe to Bay of La. Those who did the ride to cabo is basically the same. Except this is on and in Vintage vehicles.

    My race #is, #63 am sharing driving duties with and old friend Mike Shatynski whom I am very proud of as he is now a 2** Navy Admiral. So we have an old Marine Sgt. racing with a ** Navy Admiral," how bitchin is that"( old school term 60's).
    Later George

    Bet he's got a masseuse waiting in Cabo. He will be one sore dude.

    He's certainly going for the win, he doesn't know any different.

    Good luck...

    They're about 2 hours from the finish in LaPaz as of 11:45 am PDT.

    Looks like they've progressed with little trouble, but who knows ...?

    Haven't tracked the motorcycles, just the group George rallied with.
