Forging a Family of 5 1600 Baja Bug Racers for the Future!

WOW! What an awesome weekend of racing.

The SNORE "Battle At Primm" event held Feb. 17-19, 2006, was a 2 day racing spectacular. 14 cars entered the event with 12 of them being Baja Coalition members. What was most impressive was that every car started the race both days.

With the number of cars that we had running on the 5 lap 11 mile course, the day was absolutely non-stop action. Despite the temp being so cold that snow flurries hit us Sunday morning, the course was littered with people in the grandstands taking full view of the infield consisting of "very large jumps", tabletops, switchbacks, and more jumps. Looking down pit row all you could see were heads watching the cars going back and forth barreling down the course, racing against the guy next to him.

Which brings me to…..Race Day Results
