My friend Luke decided to run the Mexican 1000 on a frakenbike this year. The Mexican 1000 is a 4 day 1200 mile race down the Baja peninsula. It starts in Mexicali and ends in San Jose del Cabo. So Luke builds a Honda CB 550/650 with a DRZ 400 front end and a homemade swingarm and subframe.

This will give you an idea, taken just a couple of days before packing up and heading south.

Well Luke needed someone to drive the Chase vehicle and I volunteered me and my 4Runner. You can see it here loaded up sitting in the parking lot at the border. You can also see my other buddies 99 Subaru outback that he is racing this year.

Some of the stuff you see while wandering around the tech inspection area. This is a very different race they have everything from modern Trophy trucks to vintage bugs.

So day one of the Race, we are up at 04:00 and are soon driving through ...
