  • Francis arrives at his new home

    Francis rolls out of AWACs.

    A.J. picked up Francis earlier today. Francis, as you recall, is a Vietnam era M-274 mechanical mule. Four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, it can go just about anywhere, just not very quickly. A.J.’s plan is to strip it down and restore it to its original military look in time for the Baja 1000. It will sit inside his 28-foot U-Haul (nickname AWACs) which will be our rolling command post for all the super secret stuff we’ll be doing for the race this year.

    A.J. asked if I would post this shot of him, to demonstrate that he does, in fact, know which end of a plasma torch to hold.
