October 10, 2015, Felton, Calif. — Desert Dingo Racing announced today that BK Auto has signed on to sponsor the team’s sixth run at the Baja 1000, which takes place November 19-21 in Baja California, Mexico.
Brey-Krause has provided Desert Dingo Racing with two quick-release fire extinguisher mounts and other equipment for the race.
“The Baja 1000 is one of the toughest off road races in the world and the safety of our drivers and co-drivers is a top priority,” said team co-founder Jim Graham. “Brey-Krause has a rock solid reputation in racing and we’re looking forward to helping them make inroads into the off road racing world.”
The Baja 1000 draws more than 100,000 spectators to Ensenada on the Baja Peninsula for Race Week, which culminates with the estimated 300+ teams pushing their race rigs through downtown streets for a daylong tech and contingency parade. This year’s course is an 840-mile loop starting and finishing in Ensenada;
“Air-cooled has been in off road racing since Day One,” said BK Auto VP Lee Whipple. “It’s the ultimate test of your products to be tested at the Baja 1000 and we’re proud to be supporting their racing program.
