Thats where i 1st heard of him . That guy is tougher than a 2 dollar steak . Just hope he's still alive . Ive never met the guy but he's like another mystical legend of Baja . Hope everything is good with him Id really like to see him considered for the Off Road Hall of Fame in Reno . The guys who RACE Baja are tough , but man , this guy actually LIVES out there everyday . Hell if he were ever bitten by a rattler the damn rattler would probably die instead of him lol . They could put him in as a celebrity or something like that . He's done alot for the sport and has never asked for a thing in return .

Wow that guy is just sooooo cool . God bless his tough old soul if you should see him please tell him he has a fan all the way over here in NY . I just love the guy he's such a free spirit and good hearted . He really is the definition of what Baja is all about
