Thought you other desert rats might enjoy this . Found it on YouTube just farting around . Videos description says its from the 79 Baja 1000 , 80 Baja 500 and 80 Mexicali 300 . All you bike guys will like it too lots of old school bikes in it . I only recognized one vehicle out of them all . Frank Vessels in his Blazer . Hope you all like it .

Nice find on the Vid. I use to go down and help out the Saab guys.

Lmao I was only 9 yrs old then but still remember seeing them in the magazines . I thought they were the greatest thing since sliced bread . Aw hell who am I kidding I'm 41 now and STILL think that lmao

This is great mj, if you watch it again when you get to the class 8 trucks the Dodge with the yellow stripe over the hood and down the doors I think is Walker Evans and there's a black ford with 2 names on the door thats Ivan Stewart and Charlotte Corral also look for a Jeep CJ one of them is Don Adams I think he was sponsord by Don A Vee Jeep.

Found another vintage vid . I knew James Gardner drove in Baja but never knew what . OMG is this thing AWESOME !!!! Wasn't there also a 55-57 Chevy that ran too ?

mj, the 55 was driven by Larry Schwacofer (not sure on the spelling) he had a Nomad as his prerunner and eventually upgraded to a late model 57 Chevy I have pics somewhere of them at an early 80's barstow race looking for them now I also have some from a late 80's baja 500 and several years of Riverside, the SCORE Championships. I'll post'em when I can find 'em.

damn that's it knew as soon as I saw the name it would click . Thanks bud can't wait to see the pics
Just found this looks like the car was up for sale recently

Can anyone guess whose driving that 1st truck off the line #82 lol . I've got the whole list if any are interested .

haha... good ol' 5 time.. love those old trucks back in the day...

You got it bud . He actually was cool at one time lmao

he is still cool when he isnt pussified at the nascar track... im sure he would love to get out and mix it up again with robby and his brothers... i wouldnt be too surprised to see him take an SST truck out for a joy ride...

Would highly doubt that if that for the fact he wouldn't do it I doubt Mr Hendrick would let him .
