Hey Vince, post up some pics when you get a chance. They have good wi-fi at that Starbucks in Ensenada.

Traffic in Baja... Our quad went down at race mile 127. This is the back up on race mile 107ish going through the summit. I brought the chase jeep from 100 to 123. Then had to tow the quad to race mile 175 for pickup.

After a 2 hour delay at the summit and 20 miles, we found our rider who had been stranded for 5+ hours

That totally sucks! But that is part of racing in Baja. You always have a story from every race down there and not all are good. That 5 hours sitting and waiting is a long time. Who was on the 66A?
