Here's where FORD Performance Bronco car show was this weekend, instead of racing in Baja Mexico, as promised in all their public relations marketing. After last years Baja 1000 ABORTION, FORD (Fix and Repair Daily) decided they needed a nap and they nappy napped at their car show while the racers were in San Felipe.

Because Scam wouldn't get paid by FORD, he stayed home at his mansion in the San Clemente hills and took his nappy nap.

FORD BRONCO EFFORT CRUSHED!!!

*Suddenly 100,000+ DEAD AMERICANS
from the Trump Pandemic

*FORD forced to close its manufacturing for months!  All the New Bronco launch timelines
shot-to-hell.

*The racing program with SCORE-
Rendered a complete FIASCO

What a Waste of Tons of money, the Baja 1000 2019 JOKE, the Trump Pandemic and flacid sales expected for years to come. 





Photo Above: At last years Baja 1000, the "launch" of the Bronco Racing Program by FORD Performance, the Did Not Finish Bronco squirreled onto the finish line riser and proclaimed themselves
"UNOFFICIAL FINISHER".

We are now going to report how this 'FORD Performance' effort 'stalked' the Glickenhouse entry, while the new 'Boot' fixed a mechanical near the finish line, as soon as Curt Leduc and Johnny Campbell knew the 'New Boot' mechanical was fixed and it was moving to the finish line within minutes, Leduc and the FORD Performance Baja racing team drove the DNF'ed FORD POS in front of the boot team for the FRAUD FINISH!

James Glickenhouse opens up about the World Class FORD Bronco-R FAIL at the 2019 Baja 1000.

"The pinnacle of Shit Motorsports."

"They embarrassed the desert racing community", we already know the rank ass-wipes they are and "they
shit-canned the vaunted and way-overhyped "blue oval" forever!  

FORD Fix and Repair and sham across the finish line racing!

FORD SCREWS THE BRONCO LAUNCH, Baja 1000 2019


CAMERON STEELE IS ABOUT TO CRY, AGAIN!
He can't believe Ford is going to pay him through 2022!



At first, Jackson Dawson (FORD Performance) Alters the Facebook Video (Above) posted AFTER the Fail! Notice the audio drop at the beginning of the piece! Then, after we point our finger aty the video, here online, they remove the video COMPLETELY!!!

[Audio DELETED between -1:49 to -1:33, -1:16 to -1:09, -0:52 to -0:43, -0:32 to -0:01] 

Yes, we have the original TEXT of what Ford DELETED!!!

FORD ALSO ADMITS, through factual exclusion,
that their 10 speed automatic transmission failed.

Ford states, "engine...and chassis" didn't have any problems. Nowhere in the proceedings has the manufacturer said the transmission accomplished its goal, in this project. 

The core of the problem: "Engineers with Ford Performance set up shop with Trophy Truck builders Geiser Bros Design & Development and Baja Clown Cameron Steele to create the Bronco R Prototype."

After the race fail: "Ford's team said it will return to the race, next time working up better fabricated components, and making sure to do enough testing to guarantee all the parts mesh."

FORD Motor Company won't get the chance to redeem themselves before the consumer Bronco is unveiled.




The 'Mystique' of the Bronco-R powertrain and transmission, EXPOSED!

*The Transmission- FAILED! And Switched Out! 
Not an aftermarket item, the consumer Bronco manual 7-speed is aftermarket, but not the automatic used on the Bronco-R! This 10-speed automatic, Ford factory item, to be used on the consumer Bronco, for 'automatic transmission' consumer usage and applications. 

MORE DETAILS LOADING>>>

*The Engine- Many Ford aficionados now believe under that New Bronco skin is a 2.7L EcoBoost engine, with the 10 speed automatic Ford factory  transmission. Accomplished by observing three important facts of the engine compartment by the SCG Boot team in the Baja desert.

The engine was further identified by 1. Bracket, 2. oil cooler and 3. the casting marks.

Experts have come to the conclusion that this is 
the 'Bronco Raptor' under the new Bronco R skin.

So, the Bronco-'R', has a double meaning. 'R' for Racing prototype and 'R' for Raptor.

The Racing Dealio

While the Bronco-R team made a series of disastrous decisions, a 40 year-old classic Bronco finished well before the time limit in their class 3.

The classic Bronco beat the class 2 SCG Boot by almost 3 1/2 hours coming in 96th overall out of 275 entries!

The failed Ford Bronco-R team, couldn't make the finish line within the racing time allowed, 34 hours!

"With an army of top-flight drivers, co-drivers, mechanics, engineers, media guests, PR and marketing staff, the Ford folks were everywhere in Baja (for the race). That didn’t help when myriad of apparently non-production parts and silly mistakes like too light of a skid plate (they had to fabricate one in the field using a nearby stop sign) forced the team to quit and head back to Ensenada."

*"A 4x4 f150 2.7 v6 chassis went to Geiser Bros and they bolted on a f150 long travel kit and built the rest."

*"The shell rode on top of a purpose-built, roll-caged race truck, with a stock motor, transmission, transfer case and front differential; the "race rear end" and other add-ons were not from the Ford stables. Ford confirmed that the engine and transmission in the Bronco R are the same components that will be in the 2021 Ford Bronco."*

*In Mexico, on their singular pre-run the team knew they had problems, "the(Bronco)"R" had been experiencing issues with its added-on race bits
Its first high-speed pre-run earlier in (at) "Valle de T" had illuminated the need for more time and testing. All involved knew those were a limited commodity but, as the long, mud-splattered hood was removed, tools were placed at-the-ready and a team of experts filled every available orifice the Bronco R has to fix its teething troubles. Electrical wiring was replaced in an effort to remediate issues with fuses and the cooling system of the race vehicle that was developed in skunkworks (FORD Performance) only five months before". 

*"but (I) noted that the team spent the last 40 minutes of the drive frequently instructing me to push an override switch control, as an ominous red warning light illuminated the dark.
As we pulled it into the make-shift workshop behind the La Pinta hotel, (in downtown Ensenada) where a team was waiting to apply fixes and address the overheating issues".

*"By race mile 495 the passenger-side lower control arm, spindle and CV joint had given up the ghost. Again, it was the Clown Posse, Scam Steele's Desert Assassins chase crew to the rescue, replacing what could be replaced and welding everything that couldn't [spit and duct tape]. When the Bronco R took off two hours later with Rod Hall's granddaughter and experienced off-road racer Shelby Hall behind the wheel, it had a new CV and axle, new tie rods and uniballs with welded up A-arms and freshly bled brakes. Mind you, all that happened in about two hours in the middle of the course".*

*"According to Ford, it suffered a number of unfortunate issues during the race, including being hit by a trophy truck [proven to be a lie]. The car also suffered a serious transmission leak [transmission replaced mid event], a broken lower control arm and cooling fan issues, which eventually resulted in its retirement."* 



Blogger and Ford taco eater Mike Levine:
"the factory parts on the Bronco R "performed flawlessly. No engine or chassis issues", it was only aftermarket bits that faltered."

"The bronco’s big problem was caused by the skid plate movement caused by the collision[with a Trophy Truck?]; and the transmission fluid leak was caused by the broken skidplate; it wasn’t noticed until the 2nd stop, afterwards."


"according to Ford spokesman Mike Levine, the team was able to repair a broken skid plate, a busted control arm["broken lower right control arm"] [RM480 Tie rod (maybe rack?)], and a few other unspecified issues before being forced to call it quits" AND "The Ford BroncoR had a cooling fan issue 580 miles in. The team is (was) at Pit 5 for a quick repair."

Ford Performance had no further updates on its progress following the Pit 5 information.

BajaRacingNews.com EXCLUSIVE Reporting!

At the Mike's Sky Rancho road and Highway 3 crossing, the Bronco-R pulled off the race course for an extended stay.



Reporting on site at that moment, our reporter said the FORD Performance people conducted an extensive surgery, taking hours, on the racing Bronco drivetrain.

The transmission was changed out. 


UPDATE November 27:

During that time, this video of the 'driver of record' was taken in Ensenada at the finish line, after Cameron had run the #14 into the finish:




In the video at 2:25 in, Cameron admits he needs a nap, still thinking he could get in the rig at 8PM that night, bringing the Bronco R across the finish line, to Desert Assassins glory. 

NOT. The Ford Bronco-R, crapped out in between Mexicali and San Felipe and when the team heard Scam was heading home to his multi-million dollar mansion in the San Clemente hills, they threw in the towel as well. THEY QUIT. MORE LOADING>>>

YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT THEY DID NEXT>>>

Cameron Steele took his nap and went homey home. He went north to his multi-million dollar estate, high in the hills above San Clemente, Orange County, California!


"Is it time for San Felipe yet?" Cameron Steele said, with the FORD Bronco-R still gasping for breath in the middle of the Baja desert, dying in the Baja 1000 2019. He was the driver of record. 

Nighty-Nite, Cameron. $$$Benjamins dancin' in his head$$$!

Cameron Steele had three plans for this event. He would race the #16, which failed. And, he would run the #14, which placed 15th in the trophy trucks class. Third, he would coast the FORD Bronco racing rig to Desert Assassin victory, across the finish line.

Financially, he took RJ's money$ to race the #16, he took Bobby Pecoy's money$$ as a partner in the #14 and of course, the Ford bundle $$$. 

Typical hair-brained Scam Steele planning.
He just wanted the money, NOT THE FAILS!

  

On UPDATE: CLICK HERE FOR Scam's hammers 2020 $$$Ultimate Fail Report$$$. "Hey, he's got three girls to feed, Why Not shit on all the sponsors???"

As Cameron himself states in the video above, it was not a good plan, because he failed the #16 truck, ignoring coolant loss, flubbed to 15th place in the #14 truck and never made it to the Bronco-R, to drive it to the finish line. 

Baja had taken so much out of him, he went home to San Clemente to sleep with all those Ford frog-skins, hundred dollar bills, Benjamins'. 

He's under contract through 2022 right? He doesn't give a shit, typical desert racing performance,  
"I got their money".

When the team found out Cameron had retreated home, they lost all hope at Campo SaldaƱa and threw in the towel, they withdrew from the racing event.

'OTHER' Explanations, so far

"About 420 miles in, at the Matomi Wash, a Trophy Truck rolled while trying to climb up the wash walls and landed on the Bronco R. There was no harm done, but the team had to wait for another vehicle to separate the two."

Jonathon Ramsey, from auto blog claim.
Hey 'Jon-a-thon', get your mom some phonics classes and get her out of speaking and spelling from ebonics! 


'OFFICIAL' Explanations, so far

"We had several challenges during the race, including:· Getting hit and becoming stuck after a trophy truck hit the Raptor in San Quetin (Quentin) Wash near race mile 190. That’s desert racing!· This damaged a skid plate that also led to damaging the transmission cooling lines. We fixed the skid plate at Pit 2 but didn’t catch the transmission leak until after it started slipping. It made it to Pit 3. This took several hours to repair.· Around race mile 480 we broke a fabricated lower control arm. This was replaced but took another 90 minutes or so.· Ran into aftermarket cooling fan issues around race mile 580. By the time it was repaired at Pit 5 it was about 8:30 at night. The next portion was challenging and risky to get help on the course if something happened, and we’d likely wouldn’t finish until after the official time limit expired."


Then the team spit in the face of racers everywhere

The team allowed Curt Leduc to drive the failed Bronco-R and raced [speeding over public highways, as confirmed by SCORE telemetry] for the finish line in Ensenada, at times, driving well over the posted speed limit on the federal highway and local town streets in Ensenada.

One member of the team told BajaRacingNews.com, the team manager Johnny Campbell was on a mission to place the failed Ford abortion in front of the finishing SCG Boot on the riser at the finish line.

Curt LeDuc drove the FORD abortion over the speed limit, on public highways and roads, with the goal, to get in front of the new boot.

They stalked the SCG Boot as it made its way into town.

Many members of the team were perplexed.

Then you have the paid-off, witless so-called "press".

In actuality, Mead and Hall's on the all whore crew.

Sue Mead, said,
"From there, the Bronco R was able to be driven on paved roads to the finish line in Ensenada, where the team celebrated its efforts and Ford formally announced its sponsorship of SCORE racing for the next three years."

Emme Hall, said,
"Though Ford didn't take the checkered flag, it was able to get photos of the prototype on the podium and speak to the announcement made earlier, that Ford would be the official truck and SUV of Score through 2022."


UPDATE November 26:

Continued Proof of Amateurs

Proving out the lack of professionalism on the part of the Ford Bronco R racing team, 
the action of 'racing on public roads' taking the Failed Ford Bronco-R, the WITHDRAWN Bronco-R to the finish line, then putting it on the podium right in front of the class 2 winning SCG Boot! 

Some say it was in poor taste.  Por Favor!

Others, didn't know what to make of the "PR stunt"...
"someone at Ford or SCORE or both decided it was OK to have the Bronco cross the finish line and take official photographs. While there were no checkered flags to be seen, with all due respect the PR stunt was a completely inauthentic move, and disrespectful of every other race team that had literally poured their lives into reaching Ensenada and earning their right to enjoy time in the spotlight as official finishers." 

Inauthentic? PR stunt?  You missed the 'winners flag', complete with checkers, draped on the front of the rig!

This was a classic 'DB' Douche-Bag move!

On the riser, before the SCG Boot arrived,  
"In the interview they even called themselves "unofficial finishers"... then someone draped the winners flag over the hood and it was quickly pulled off." 

That action alone, showed how unprofessional this Ford Performance Bronco R team is.

AND they took a picture, to prove their idiocy!




The infamous proof! The 'DNF' Pic!!! These guys dnf'ed and did this, put the Bronco-R in front of the finishing SCG Boot, then took pictures as proof of their 'accomplishment'. UNREAL.

Here's the video! Shame on FORD Performance.
Impossible to forget moving forward.




Oh, our mistake, that's right, these clowns are paid through 2022 to run SCORE!

That's why they have those stupid, shit-eating grins!

How much did Whore-In-Charge Roger Norman POCKET$$$ for this shit-show of desert racing?

Everybody already knows what a WHORE, SCORE operation this series is, but now we have to include, the FORD MOTOR COMPANY WHORES!

While that photo was being taken, reportedly, the driver of record, Cameron Steele, was back in the USA with his family.

UPDATE November 25:

In interviews over the Baja 1000 event, FORD specialists were asked to provided their view on the FORD Bronco-R prototype. 

Several, FORD off-road build experts in San Felipe, Baja Mexico during the race, as the FORD Bronco-R ran the course, "it [the Ford Bronco-R Baja 1000 2019 entry] didn't make the cut-off time for the San Felipe SCORE checkpoint", "the team was scrambling to make repairs and get it going again, it clearly had problems", he said. The expert continued, "the suspension looked frail, for an event like the Baja 1000, the FORD Bronco-R did not have the correct equipment".

The Ford off-road expert continued,  
"it [the Ford Bronco-R Baja 1000 2019 entry]missed the checkpoint cut-off time, it had a frail suspension, the team was working on it from the mountains down to the desert floor, I think they might have changed out the transmission on the highway after the Mike's rancho road traverse".

In Ensenada, before the race began, the people surrounding the program were questioned because of their sordid pasts. "Everyone knows Cam Steele's wierd Baja roots, like the Santa Marta money scam". Others saw how low the rig sat at the start and how underpowered it was, "the FORD Bronco-R sounded like a kids rubberband powered toy boat, pathetic", said one racer. 

A high-level American FORD dealer at the Baja 1000 over the weekend said, "The people Ford chose for this project must be questioned. Such a high profile project and a huge, dismal failure can only be attributed to the decision making of the leadership of FORD Motor Company and those who ran the rig in Mexico".

"I hope this doesn't hurt my stock portfolio"
 an American FORD dealer in Mexico. 

UPDATE November 24: 

The FORD Bronco-R Racing Prototype was driven back to Ensenada on the paved, pulic roads. After failing to finish in the 52nd Baja 1000. The 2019 effort was a partnership with Cameron Steele of the 'Desert Assassins'. Also included in the effort was Johnny Campbell Racing of Temecula, California, Geiser Brothers of Arizona and the Ford Performance office in Detroit, Michigan.




FORD Bronco-R, driven dirty and unlawfully back to the start/finish area of the BAJA 1000 2019, Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. At 8:15 PM PT, the failed racing prototype made its way through Valley Trinidad in Baja California, after failing to finish the Baja 1000 off road racing event.

From the Ford Media Center before the disaster: November 4, 2019: "The Bronco R race prototype – developed by Ford Performance in collaboration with Geiser Performance of Phoenix – was built in part to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bronco claiming the only overall 4x4 win to date at the Baja 1000 in 1969."

Interesting how key elements of the actual racing are being covered up by minions of FORD Motor Company?! Here's media hack Emme Hall's take and inclusion on wiki:

""2020 Bronco R Prototype, At the 2020 Baja 1000 race, Ford introduced the Ford Bronco R prototype with the drivetrain of the new as-yet unreleased 2021 Bronco with the thoughts of testing out the engine, transmission and four wheel drive system that will be used in the production model 2020 Bronco. The Baja 1000 was thought to be the perfect test for the new off-road vehicle Ford is producing, with 1000 miles of some of the world's roughest terrain. The 2020 race was also tougher after being delayed for 24 hours due to excessive rainfall in the days before the event. With the excessive rainfall, one of the Class One co-drivers Ford used in the race referred to it as the "Mud Bog 1000."

While the Bronco R prototype model used for the Baja 1000 shared some components with the production Bronco, Ford up-fitted the Bronco R with a rugged off-road racing suspension as well as off-road wheels and 37 inch off-road tires. The Bronco R vehicle also used a 70-gallon fuel tank during the race allowing the prototype to travel up to 315 miles of the course before stopping to fuel up. While this would have been a significant advantage the Bronco R team had, it was not taken advantage of. Since the Bronco R was a prototype, it was used partially as a way to test the powertrain of the production model and test how it held up to the elements of the race. The Bronco R team made a stop every 130 miles to swap drivers to have a set of fresh eyes as well as using the stop as a way to keep an eye on how the vehicle was holding up and making sure there were no repairs needed at the time. When it came to the engine of the Bronco R prototype, Ford did not disclose details of the engine used. The only information that is known is the engine represented the production models and was a twin-turbo EcoBoost Ford engine. When it came to the four-wheel drive system, the vehicle experienced no issues with the mud on the course of the Baja 1000. While the drivers only had to use four-wheel drive low a handful of times to get out of some of the stickier mud, the Bronco R stopped multiple times along the course to tug other competitors out of the mud including a near 6,000 pound trophy truck. While the Bronco R's engine, transmission and four-wheel drive held up perfectly during the brutal race, many of the aftermarket suspension parts did not fare the same. Around mile 495 of the 1000 mile journey, the passenger side spindle, lower-control arm and CV joint had been destroyed. While the team was able to replace as many parts as possible on the course they were able to continue the race until around mile 580, when the engine fans began giving out. One engine fan had completely seized up while the other was not working at its full potential causing the Bronco R to overheat and needing to be towed about eight miles to the next filling station. After about 30 minutes of working on the Bronco R prototype to try to get it back on the course, Ford pulled the vehicle out of the race because they were not going to be able to get it back in the race.""

Not even close to what actually occurred.
Including the replacement of the FORD Factory transmission. 
AND- Where's the 'hit' from the 'trophy truck'?
It's not in her reporting, because its a figment in FORD Communications imagination.
