ATV Race Team prepping for 2012 San
Felipe 250 aboard their Honda
TRX450R ATV |
Las Vegas, NV (3/6/2012)
- Quad75Dezert once again is in the desert
of Mexico, preparing for the 44th Annual San
Felipe 250. This year's race is 248.64 miles
and has an 11 hour time-limit to complete.
Motorcycles begin leaving the line at 6:00am
Saturday March 10th, in 30-second intervals.
Trucks begin leaving the line 4 hours after
the last motorcycle has left.
This year's course has some never-before-used
sections as the track
will go through 3 new washes. This will
add a little to the typical
challenges of Baja, and participants riding
those sections will need to
take extra care during pre-running to make
notes and learn the terrain.
For Quad75Dezert, most of these sections
will be taken on by rider Jorie
Williams, who says, "The new sections
are fun, but there's not a lot of
room for creativity."
For this year's 250, Quad75Dezert riders
(Rider of Record Brandon
Brown, mechanic Kenny Sanford, and riders
Jorie Williams and Jamie
Kirkpatrick) will be competing against some
heavy hitters of the ATV
world. Racing class 25 this year (#8a for
this race), Quad75Dezert will
be leaving 7th off the line. The returning
Class 25 champions, as well
as veteran Baja racers Mike Cafro, Craig
Christy, Greg Row and their
respective teams will also be competing
in Class 25. Additionally to the
several other Mexican teams racing, Josh
Frederick, another former Baja
champion, has come out to race this event,
also in Class 25.
"We take competition seriously, but
we're concerned with what our
program entails, not necessarily what other
people are doing," Brandon
says, "We know what we need to do,
and we prepare for months for these
races, so we just have to stick to our plan
and see what happens. Our
team rides their hearts out each time they
get on the quad. I'm
optimistic."
This year again the team had planned for
a second team to race with
them as they had done in 2011, however team
2 had to drop out at the
last minute. Team 2 will be reorganized
and try to make the 500.
