Mike Johnson Comments

The way things have unfolded for our team has been some luck and lots of hard work, other teams have been faster but sometimes it’s not the fastest that brings it home to the finish. We concentrate on hitting all the (VCP’s) virtual check points, watch our speed (speed zones) and spend hours and hours of pre running. The group we have riding this year has been outstanding, Steve Garnett (The Rabbit) has come through time and time again, Brian Pinard preps the bike and races. We have not had any mechanical breakdowns! Our newest rider Craig Smith is one of the fastest off road racers in Baja; he was outstanding for us during the Baja 500. We have a great management team that helps organize pre running, gets parts, equipment and sponsorship. Our goal will be to over all the 30 pro class and see were the other class leaders end up and hope for the best. The Baja 1000 is double points, that means every position counts for overall bike. This is the one every racer wants to win even if there’re not in the points race, that means not only battling the course, but ever rider and position out there counts!
