Hi Bob, I am signed up and will be taking my #8 Les Choat Burro to the event. I could use help. Steve #1949

Here are a few pics from the Parade of Champions that took place prior to the start of the 2007 Baja 1000. This event was put on by Marty Fiolka and SCORE. We met at the Bull Ring in TJ and did a photo op and then drove the old race vehicles to Ensenada and displayed them in town at the SCORE vendor...

Any one from the N.CA area going down to the 1000? I was suppose to take my Burro to the vintage display and parade to Ensenada but my traveling partener can not go. I would still possibly like to do it but not on my own. Steve Heckert I have the #8 Les Choat Burro.

Does any one know how close the fires are to Bruce & Winnie's home?

Did any one know Cozy Bob? He was a inventor of the foam can holder. He was a friend and sponsor of Les Chaots Burro buggies and others in the late 60s and early 70s. I know that Bob has passed away and that his last name was possibly Adkins. He also flew plans and helped marked race courses. Thanks...
