You want to start with fresh, wet erase Sharpies. Not the dry ones. Trust me on this.
60 days to the Baja 1000 and we’re in full prep mode. We’ve made some substantial modifications to 1107 and those will be completed in the next couple of weeks. A week from now the transmissions head south to Scott Sebastian with MetalCraft for tune ups.
Those papers you’re sleeping on? I’m going to need those.
I’ve also re-started listening to my Spanish language MP3s. My Spanish is passable for one month a year. Positive visualization is a big part of planning, too. I’ve got Dust to Glory, Two Roads to Baja and Born in Baja on the iPhone, which I play while driving to work in the morning.
Listening to “Dust to Glory” on the iPhone is a lot like the Dude listening to the Venice Beach League Playoffs from 1987. Visualization is key to winning.
Next up is providing an update to sponsors and working with them on what we can do to promote them at the race. Race week in Ensenada is already largely mapped out and now I’m working on all the preparation needed in the weeks leading up to departure.
We should get one of these.
There’s a good chance I’ll be LA-bound to check out the LA Burning Man Decompression and the Off Road Expo. If time permits, I might make a run to Mexicali to spend some time with Carlos Bravo, who’s interested in working with the team (and he has an awesome chase truck).
Lastly, here’s a shot from a video from the Yerington 300. We make a cameo appearance a few minutes into it.
