Great news. That machine is definately built more for desert racing than XC. Glad to hear of the success.

Yeah.....the rear does look bent, it also looks like a wider offset than stock.

Got some feedback from other forum,found out that the 450r of robles was in 1st thruout the race,had them by 15 minutes.Perhaps if they were on the 700xx the would have beaten the winning team!!
The Robles team said that the 700xx passed them on the straights,the 700xx was clocked at close to 100MPH!!!!!!

I'm not sure about the 15 minute lead. It was more like 3-5 minutes. The Robles team did give Matlock a run for his money though. I'm sure if they had the same support as both Matlock and Prather they would be able to pull off some wins.

Found out that quad 2a,got to the starting line LATE!!! and still Sal Fish put it in front of 4a!!!!that is not a score rule,you get in line late you go back to the end!!!not really sure why they would have this kind of favoritsm to the big H!!maybe quad 4a would have been in first since there was only a 21 second margin win by Matlocks bike!!!strange!

That's not good. The rule says if you miss your starting position you have to go to the back of your class. This type of favoritism has been going on for a long time and will continue to do so.

Favoratism by Sal is no new thing in the Baja. Rules are regularly bent in favor of the largest sponsors......

Even if the 700Xx was just in the top 5 in its first Baja race, let alone win it, still is a hellova feat IMO...

Yeah, it was a huge acomplishment for Matlock to win this race. And I'm sure the lead would have been greater if Matlock would of had more time to dial in his quad. Also, Matlock was short one rider (Harold Goodman).
