Richie Brown is going to finish at Baja(Ironman on QUAD!)

[trx400exxracer]

Word in from the pit team for Richie Brown is that he has made his last fuel pit and is headed to the last check point. He will finish in approxximatly 1-2 hours. His hands are hurting and he is tired but the Dahlonega native is going to possibly be the first rider in Score-International history to IRONMAN the Baja 1000.
Richie had a flat around the 175rm marker but the Derisi suspended 450r has held up well...Ill be right back with more updates.

Just heard that Richie is 10 miles from the finish!!!

[1fst400]

1000 miles is a lot, I doubt I have that many miles on my quad all together. Hoe long does it take them? Seems like it would take days.

Thats an incredible accomplishment! I bet that Derisi suspension helped a ton!!! Santo has to be pumped!!!

You all need to watch the movie "Dust to Glory" it is a great movie about the Baja 1000.

Yeah I am definately pumped about it! It was nice to have helped such a nice person like Richie accomplish what he has! If you don't know him then you are definately missing out!!! We worked a lot of hours helping get everything ready as far as suspension goes we was even testing at night to get it all dialed in! I think that it is amazing on what Richie has accomplished and i can't congratulate him enough! Richie has done the Baja other times so he was no amature at it and he knew what he had to do.

Again ALL congrats go to you Richie on what you have done and thanks for letting me be a small part of it!!!

[Santo DeRisi]
