Baja Racing Adventures

I created this Unilocal page so I could tell everyone how much I enjoyed this company.
What this company is: This is a Dirt Race Truck rental company. You can rent the truck or the whole team. Or purchase one of their Race — ready Trophy Trucks for 2 different classes.
My Experience: 10 months or so before the 2015 Baja 1000 (In November) I started preparing a list of questions of things I wanted to know on how to prepare to possibly race the 2016 Baja 1000. The list was extensive by September, so I figured I better email Pete thinking maybe he would answer some of the questions within a month or 2. He answered all of them within a couple days AND said he had a truck ready for this year. Well, I wasn’t ready for that but he also had co-​driver spot available so I could sit in the truck during the Baja 1000 and help.
Jumped on that. Got my stuff together and headed down to Baja 2 days before race day. Needles to say Pete was extremely overloaded with getting his truck & team ready as well as his daughters race team & truck ready. I tried to just hang out and be available for when he had time to let me know what I would be doing and how to do it.
Race Day: If you haven’t raced any kind of off road race before and you think you’re going to go do the 1000 right off the bat… Think again. I only sat in the truck for my section which was 144 miles (3 Hours’ish). You think that’s nothing but in that 144 miles we passed a bunch of other vehicles, changed 2 flat tires on the live race course, hit a berm passing a buggy with only our 2 left wheels, went completely airborn and stuck the landing at a 45 degree angle on the right 2 wheels, made our pitstop Driver/​Co-​Driver team change and about a thousand other moments which almost included me pissing my pants. It was Fuckin Awesome.
Sum up: I lived a lifetime in 3 hours and highly recommend contacting Pete to either drive, co-​drive or be involved somehow and whatever you pay for what you do the experience will be one of the best in your lifetime.
