Baja Racing News.com has confirmed from the La Paz Automotive Club, that longtime Baja racer, Larry Roeseler, will race in the May 1 traditional Mexican off-road race, the "Dos Mares 500". The race, a traditional local Mexican desert off-road race, sponsored and promoted by the CABO 500 organization since 2005, is sanctioned by the local La Paz Automotive Club.
Cinthya Murillo, current organizer, confirmed to Baja Racing News.com of Larry's participation in the event. An unnamed source within Norman Motorsports, confirmed late Tuesday afternoon, "we are all signed up for the Mexican 1000 and since we'll be in La Paz, why not race in something we've thought about for awhile. The CABO 500 has alot of appeal, everyone in desert off-road racing wants to win that race and be crowned, the King of Cabo!"
Larry will be the tenth American led team to undertake the local race.
In 2006, Danny
Anderson won the event, received two trophies, he received the winning trophy from the La Paz Club and the "KING OF CABO" CABO 500 Trophy (pictured right) with a record breaking time. Even though no official race results were ever published from the event. Yes, it was a National Mexican Championship Mexican off-road desert point-to-point race, the only records of the event exist now in Mexico City. The La Paz Club and the CABO 500 promoters also took note of the race results. The state racing organization failed to issue results and took $1,000 in winnings, that rightfully should have went to Anderson. A felony, Pacenos remember to this day.Tom Bradley Racing of La Paz, could be considered the first international team to compete in the local race, but they're really a 'local' La Paz team, because they have a shop in La Paz and are managed by locals. Same with the Burns outfit, hell, they live down there!
Danny Andersons performance in the 2006 Dos Mares 500, was truly historic. The first International team to compete and win in a Mexican National Championship Desert Off-Road Race and also sanctioned by the state and local authorities.
The CABO 500-Dos Mares 2006 was an International invitational. Racing teams that received an invitation, replied and competed, were treated to a world class series of events. Danny winning that race, nailed the offering in the first year it was available.
Recently, the La Paz Club named PRO BAJA as their local promoter in place of the state organization, because of problems with the state body, including the 2006 race failure of the state racing association.
