Ensenada, BC, Mexico
Our blogger austin farner friend told us Cameron Steele didn't show-up for the recent 2022 Baja 500, "Cameron is having family, personal problems".
We wouldn't have even noticed PAB being a no-show if fish hadn't trumpeted Heidi's hand maiden wasn't racing the 'Who's Gonna Die' at this years 500 miler in Baja Mexico Circus-Fest.
Just think, the MICHELIN spokesmodel, for Jackson Motorsports/BFGoodrich Tires, who is the official SCORE mouthpiece on the 'X Games TV' cablecast, just didn't show up last weekend!
Get paid, don't work....oh that's right, its Cammy Steele!
Watch this space, because we've heard there's a story here and we've sent out the dogs to bring back the bones!
Stay Tuned>>>
We also have the 2006 Clown Posse Flash Back!
What an awesome gift. Nimrod and other hangers on from the 'desert assasins' BFGoodrich Tires and Yokohama Tires drama.

Here's the UPDATE from today!
Partybarge_pilot said: "Not the first guy to roll through tech (inspection) [on] the sponsors tires then run BFG's on raceday. Cough Cough PAB".
[PAB=Pussy Ass Bitch, Cameron Steele's self appointed nickname]
Nimrod, from San Clemente, responded: "We never never ran BFG when sponsored by Yokes [Yokohama Tires] intentionally." BALD FACED LIES
Nimrod continued said: "We never ran BFG when sponsored by Yokes intentionally. 1 time at the Score Primm 300 we ran out of spares and had to borrow a BFG. The guys from Yokohama were there and we told them of our predicament. We came close to borrowing BFG’s at the SF 250 a bunch of years ago but I think we made it on our supply of Yokes. I wasn’t at every pit so I can’t be 100% on that. With our budget at that time we could not have raced without Yokohama’s help and we’re very grateful to them for that. 06? B1K. After the fiasco at the 500 with 12 flats, they told him to roll through contingency with Yok's and after that do whatever. By SF (the San Felipe 250) the next year they had the 37's ready."
Thanks for the info guys.

The desert asses, MICHELIN/BFGoodrich Tires/Jackson Motorsports official spokespeople
Are they intentionally ripping people off and thinking they can get away scot-free?

Desert Assasins 2007 Baja 1000 Report
The 40th annual Baja 1000 was close to a dream race for the #16 Trophy Truck driven by Cameron Steele and Darren Hardesty. At the first major pit of the race, mile 206, the team was firmly in the lead group of Trophy Trucks and unofficially in the top five on time. The same was true at race mile 1170 along the Pacific Ocean with about 100 miles left to finish their quest.
“A combination of nearly 1200 race miles, having to dive straight through the silt at mile 1125 and having to avoid getting stuck by flogging her a little hard dashed our dream run” said driver Cameron Steele “we had a line around the silt at race mile 1175 and it was blocked by locals cars, I took another line I knew and had to get hard on the accelerator and over taxed the motor”, continued Steele.
After nearly six hours of repair to get the truck back in the race the team would take their brand new Geiser Bros. truck with trial run Yokohama Tires to the finish line. “Everyone has worked so hard for this 1296 miles of Baja and we were able to deliver a top ten finish” said Steele. “I can’t believe how perfect this truck is to drive” said first time Trophy Truck driver Darren Hardesty, “I was able to drive it with confidence like my class ten car and I think there are many wins in this trucks future”, continued Hardesty.
“Steve Allen deserves a kiss for the power plant he builds, the Caddy was rockin’ like Dokken all day and any issues were driver induced”. Next up the #16 heads to the Geiser Bros shop to get ready for 2008, the Desert Assassins will release their schedule soon but the main focus will once again be the 2008 desert series and the Baja 1000.
Coming up for Cameron
Cameron will be a commentator for two ESPN special events this New Years Eve in Las Vegas Nevada, a car back flip by Rhys Millen and a world record distance jump by Robbie Madison live on ESPN at midnight EST and PST respectively.

First lets talk about that scam party at the Bay of reams. In the press release it was noted as "Comp food and drink", "buses from La Paz". Bull Shit!
The tequila branding sponsorship. Drink it, don't promote. Don't show when scheduled, oops, forgot to bring the product to events, oops where is the rep...? Back in Tijuana? Who knows who cares.
And you wonder why the sport is considered a rank, bare-ass joke to motorsports?
Just look at the Desert Assasins, Cam Steele and his Clown Posse of offroad racing.
Just kiss it for SCORE and you're the Person of the year!

Desert Assasins Run BFG Projects on TT
Yes, its been confirmed, Cam Steele did run BFG Projects on the DA TT. Not only was it obvious to onlookers at the start line in Ensenada, you can see them online, now, at the site that has Cam leaving the start line on video. The BFG tread pattern is glaring.
[And to top off the Official 2022 Update
*"That is a personal issue between the vehicle owners (cam & clyde) and the two tire manufactures .... no need to drum up this kind of drama on this big "stage" ... maybe some other time, you'll get your question answered", said a DA source online."They haven't felt comfortable enough with the 35's & 37's of yokie and have not severed ties with bfg .... nothing against yokie, they have been absolutly awesome supporters "all year" of the da .... and yes, heidi and vano have been wearing the yokie shoe on the 7 as well as pinkie and cheater on the buggies", he continued.Another DA source, put some flesh on the DA bones story, "As of right now, the 1601 car is stuck in a silt bed.. not to mention the motor is in poor shape. I rode with trevor the first 355 miles. I was honestly impressed. I have ridden with drivers like Jamie Campbell and Cameron who are both loaded with talent and Trevor blew me out of the water.. we were first into Ojos and held third up until right befor Diablo Dry Lake when a tree stepped out right infromt of us. Caused a flat ( no big deal) but the then Altenator went. WE limped her into San Felipe where our buddys Mikey and Eric helped us change that out. Then we really wanted a new rear tire, we found a guy with a cool baja bug pre runner. Turns out he owns a hotel in S.F and we got to talking while the Alt was being switched out. He lets us take his bitchen chrome rim with a bead lock and swap it out with a crappy centerline front. That guy is my hero. We finally got her going. Just about every 30 miles after that we had to dump about 3 quarts of oil just to keep her happy. At this point we just wanted to get the car to the next driver in one peice. At CoCo's corner, the 7sx passed us while we were having the Yoko boys dump some oil. 10 miles later we nailed a 3 foot deep hole ( booby trap) going approx 40mph. Hurt my back a little. But OK. Then we saw the 7sx pulled over. I knew they had found the same thing. For whatever reason i could not hear them very well. They gave us the thumbs up so we kept going. Going through the wash i heard them asking for tools. and i told them i had them at the pit about 20 miles out . I though i heard them say ok. But i guess it was supposed to be " stop and help" haha sorry guys. I honestly couldnt hear you that well. We motored thorugh the Calamuje Wash which was by far the most insane thing ever. People were burried everywhere. HOPELESS. and we made it through. Then we lost a light and the wires crossed and we lost all power in the car. But Trevor just kept going and sure enough we were able to get our lights back going through El Cruccero. From there on till 355 we just crused ( while frezzing our a$es off.) Over all it was an insane experience and im happy i did it. we couldnt of done it without the DA."
