    Hey, no problem. I am not even going to send it to him via e-mail, I am going to show it to him next week on my computer when he flies into town on his way to Europe through LAX. Yes, we got some "in" and we don't want to abuse it. The video will not leave my computer! Let me know the plans on what's goiong on for Baja in June and what day we are leaving, if I don't talk to Bob first. Thanks!!
  • 1splat

    Very funny, actually it is not...the trip for the last 1000, I though Bob said it was like two weeks later than he said, he rolled by about 5:00 the night before and said se ya at the house at 6:00am.......I made it, might have been missing a few items, but it was all good. Hey, if you said we were leaving in the morning, I would be ready, trust me!
  • Becky

    I just checked and it worked this time.Must be my computer was just being dumb. Thank you very much. That was funny.
  • DBRacer210

    I Know!!! It is from my collection.
  • 1splat

    Ya, the 72 hour window of leaving...guess I will get packed on Sunday night!
    Did he mention any plans of where we are staying, are we driving cars or taking the buggies all the way? I guess maybe I should look at a course map, and that would give me a good idea.
  • Sarah

    Right now it is almost midnight Mouse Gibby and I are all in a chat room talking about our day!
  • 1splat

    If I could just find a course map.
    Score website it worthless.
    I guess I will just have to wing it again.
    The last trip, I packed light for buggy travel, but we stayed in motels!
    I really don't want to pack that light again, if we are going to do the same.
    I just need to know if the trip will be like the 250, or will we be living out of the buggies?
    Can we get pay-per-view of the "Prelude to the Dream" in baja?
    Is Rob driving another Bloomquist car?
  • 1splat

    Got the map, thanks!
    Any idea on when we are leaving?
    Are we towing the buggies all the way, or just to the ranch?
  • 1splat

    Top secret, dang...at least tell me what day to be up at the Gordon Complex!
    My guess is, no one is really sure...
    Here's a plan, leave on the 3rd from here, watch the prelude to the dream at your house, and then leave from there. Make it a night run from your buddies ranch and live in the buggies all weekend.
  • 1splat

    Bob stopped by today and let me know the top secret trip or should I say trips, in the next couple of weeks. Should be fun!
  • 1splat

    I got the..."see ya on Monday morning" verision, not sure what time.
    Where are we staying, I asked....his response "who knows"
    Same thing for next week, gotta be in town for the prelude race, and then leave the next day....coming back, who knows when....
    Sounds like we are parking at the ranch, but then again, not sure about that either.....I will just go up there on Sunday night and sleep on the trailer or in the buggy.
  • 1splat

    Ya, he tows a trailer like he is NOT towing a trailer!
    One hand on the wheel and one hand on his phone..75mph
  • Christina A

    Enjoy the celebration for memorial day!
  • 1splat

    Have not looked yet.
  • 1splat

    I am working.
    Did you check your camera yet?
    I thought you might like some documentation, since you probably weren't in the mood at the time. I will send you mine when I get around to looking at them.
  • matty

    hey no prob!!! it was an adventure and lots of fun!! see ya in a few days
  • Walt Pendleton

    I still have not made any firm plans yet. I will keep you up to date.
  • Walt Pendleton

    Looks like I will be heading down to San Felipe Friday night. I will probably be down by the Borrego at around 1:30 as you suggested. I might head up the hill a bit if time allows.
  • Walt Pendleton

    Nice job pre-running, I hope you had a good vantage point. I would have liked to be with the Team to celebrate the win.
  • Walt Pendleton

    I was with Baja Dave and Baja Mark, and some friends from Indiana. They came over for breakfast, we headed out together for Checkpoint #2. I climb a hill, fell down a few times on the way up. I got to the top and got the shots. We were having lunch and a dust devil blew the Easy Up away. Dave has had it for 30 years. We had a great time back to San Felipe to celebrate with a fire, drinks and dinner at my house. I am sure you had a blast after the race. Did Robby have to leave right away?
  • Rene Hernandez

    hey Trod i dont if you saw me in the km77 i was in the Rogers pre-runner
  • Walt Pendleton

    Only my pride was hurt, although it was amusing to watch, because everyone busted up laughing. Dave got his payback when the easy up went airborne. I met some nice people from Calexico as well. We will see what the route brings to the table for the 1000.I have not been to the contigency in Ensenada. I miss not hanging out with the team. I like the idea of being multiple locations. Let me know what's going on as things get closer to the 1000.
  • Rene Hernandez

    yeah i saw the 4 seater three times, first was at race mile 36 you were going to ojos negros i was before the highway cross and then i saw you when you took the highway going to the south, and finaly when you were in Robby's pit area
  • Rene Hernandez

    actually that video it isn't my video i took from youtube when i was talking about pit area i mean in the KM 77
  • 1splat

    I don't know what happened.
    I didn't get the call....its a good thing, as I am swamped with work....and like I told Bob this morning when he called to tell me about the race, I would have loved to gone, but I would have to pass on this trip.... have to keep the good customers happy! And, they are paying an expedite fee to get this order done!
    Got to keep food on the table and shoes on the kids feet.
    I hope you had a navigator for the trip?
    See ya next time....I still have more video to upload....when I get to it.
  • Noah Robby's Biggest Little Fan

    T rod did you take those pictures? they are really cool. Matt is my new friend on Planet Robby. he has been really nice to me. It looks like you are his friend to. Would you like to be my friend?
    Thanks

  • 1splat

    I am very fortunate to have a lot of work that is very steady / continuous....so the work is never done.
    I am just one step closer to the pre-runner I can take to Baja.
    I got the streat pre-runner, which I drove today....it was fun, but I need a true dirt pre-runner...
    I told the wife, ya wanna go to Cabo...and she said hell yes, ....
    Then I said, we are going to do it in a buggy!!!
    I guess as long as we get there, we or I am good!
    I guess Bob and Sharon are in Charlotte....since my wife is house sitting / cat sitting up there.
  • Walt Pendleton

    I usually hang out with Neil, but he was going to be down on the Pacific. I guess last minute changes put hin at Laguna Salado. I brought some friends plus hooked up with Baja Dave anf Baja Mark down so I did not look for the pit crew. I climbed up and got some good shots up high. It was great at the 250 when I got to 2 pits stops and more shots. I would like to help out more. I am a great cook , I could feed the team.
  • Walt Pendleton

    Every time I make pizza down at my house in San Felipe, I end up with 30 people at my door. Maybe its the atmoshere, maybe its the pizza. On race day Baja Dave and Baja Mark were at my door for breakfast at 8:30. They were suppose to come at 10:00 AM. Proof enough?
  • 1splat

    Nothing much going on here, just a lot of work. I feel so bad for Rob....what a gut wrenching way to loose a race. I will e-mail that picture in a few minutes. Have you sold your house yet?
  • 1splat

    I just sent a couple pictures to your e-mail.
    Let me know if you don't get them.
    Hey, did you want some pics of your busted up front end and Bob working on it for the scrapbook?
  • Noah Robby's Biggest Little Fan

    guess what'! two days ago Walt Pendelton and Baja Bill both asked to be my friend and Bill even asked to be my fan! Isn't that cool? Matt is my really good friend we talk alot.

  • Christina A

    hey t rod! it was so great to meet you! hope you all had a great time in the dez yesterday! the cloud coverage helped cool it off for everyone and it wasnt too hot out there. ;) i watched some of the race behind the stadium area and then went out to some spectator area a few miles from Pit 2 and then came back to the stadium area for the end of the race...i had such a good time!
  • Sarah

    Just stopping by to leave you a post to let you know I am still alive and well. How are things your way???
  • Christina A

    hey t rod! how are you!? this past week has been crazy.......i have been sooo busy at work, it has been nonstop but Terie and her hubby and I managed to find a few hours to go see the victory lap for the NASCAR championship and even crashed the banquet awards for the SCORE championship....it was great fun!!
  • Sarah

    Sending you Happy New Years wishes!! May the new year bring you much happiness!
  • Sarah

    Hey Stranger! Saw you were posting on the sidebar. Just wondering where have you been and how you are??
  • 1splat

    Nope, not yet...he is suppose to call when he is working on it...not sure if he made it back from Phoenix yet, probably stopped off at the river house....just a guess.
    He buzzed the house early on Friday morning and woke me up....Now that's an alarm clock!!!
  • 1splat

    I sure wish I knew what the leaving and coming home plans are for the Mexican 1000...any clue? Bob is going to Cabo afterwards? I will need to come home ASAP. Let me know if you know anything?
  • Sarah

    I have been busy. I try to get some posts in on this site as most of my online friends dwell here. I will try to get over to the other sites soon just to see what is happening.
  • 1splat

    Any word on the details? Leaving, coming home...staying the whole time, part of the time...etc..driving a rig or not? I have no clue...let me know and thanks!
