I watched a movie on this yesterday and was wondering if anyone has ever considered doing this on a Quad? They say Dirtbikers and Quads split the race up between a couple different riders. We should put a team together! There was one Dirtbike that had the same rider for the whole race! I bet his ass hurt after that!

Your quad was specifically designed to cross the Mojave desert so can we use your's?
I would be up for it if it were within 100 miles.
Maybe there will be a few two man teams compete in the WFO 2-man (or woman) race on September 29th in Geneseo.

I would hate to ride my short wheelbase all that distance, but you just bought the 450r way more power i would donate my truck for the chase vechicle!

I have always wanted to race that or something like that. Of course it would have to be on a Honda because I want to finish! You buy my 450 some long travel a-arms, shocks, and the mondo high power lights with a high output stator and I'll pay for our trip out there. A 500 or even a 100 miler would be fun. I dont think I'd be up for making the Baja 1000 an ironbutt race.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that a Honda 450R won one of those Baja 1000 races a few years back. I may be wrong..... I always wanted to drive one of those Baja trucks with the hellacious suspension and massive horsepower engines. Those look like they'd be a blast!

Well there is some intrest and we have some 450's that could be built to race. We should put a team together maybe even get some of the racer's sponsors to throw in for a race team. I would defintely be interested in being a part of a race team! I would race or drive the race truck!

Seeing Mojo race around in daylight for a few miles.........scary. Seeing Mojo race around in darkness for 100+ miles on a highly-modified racing quad......... Buzzard Bait!!!! P.S. Even if you drove the chase truck Mojo, it's purpose is to help the quad/rider when they wreck or break something...........not the other way around!! HAHAHAAAAA Ahhhhhhh, I haven't got to mess with my bro Mojo in awhile. That felt great!!!!

Been a while since Wait4me has messed with me I was starting to get concerend.
It is a scary from your eyes seeing me race as compared to your normal speed I am going 10 times that faster so I can see where it looks scary. I tend to ride alot during the night with my stock headlight so with some extra lights it could be interesting! If I was driving the chase truck and you were racing I problaly could just drive my Lawnmower as it would go faster than the snailblazer and I would still be WAITING4U at the finish line! HAHAHAHA
You are right, it did feel good!

What kind of parts are you thinking? Some cheap-o parts so I will foot the bill to take us out there? If I had to choose, it would be +2 a-arms, + 1 swing arm, Fox shocks, etc.. Do I get to pick the parts?

I would only buy you a-arms if you re-used the sqweeky bed spring bearings that are already in there. PS don't replace them, it helps me tell how far back you are on the trail.
And yes you're paying for the trip, you Bettendorf Yuppie!!!

I think this would be a great idea to see a Quad City Club in the Baja 1000! I vote go for it!
