This one is going to be great. I'am really looking forward to seeing if Kurt Caselli can keep the KTM
running to the finish. This is one of the roughest races, and will be a real test of the machines.
Since returning to the local and national Hare and Hound series, Caselli has shown he has the speed
to beat the JCR Hondas, but the KTM has had problems that may surface again in a race this difficult.
I hope to see KTM get their Baja program up to the level where they can run with the Hondas.
And yes, that is a lot coming from a HONDA GUY !

An other bike to keep an eye on will be the 5X Kawasaki of Shane Esposito, with Steve Hengeveld and Bobby Garrison.
Shane and Steve have a lot of Baja experience, and Bobby is just plain faster than stink in the rough stuff.

Think I have a little wager going w/ @RobbyGordon if he beats us at San Felipe he gets my Dakar helmet, now what do I get when we beat him??

On a personal note; I will be in 29 Palms this weekend working on the race course for our GP. I will be around for the start and hope to lurk some during the day. Can one of you Bar Fly's start picks for the SX ? I should be back at my brothers house for the race.
