At this years BAJA race....

[Fred55]

Tim Farr will be racing the 450r as a part of TEAM HONDA!!


I cant wait to see how he does and the TRX does!

It should be very interesting, as good as Farr is in MX, he's not as seasoned in the race that is Baja. Conversely, Doug Eichner and the Duncan boys are purported to be campagining a 450r of their own so it will make for a great race.

Don't forget the winners of last years 1000 and this years 500....they will be running Bomb DS650's, as well as TBR Products own DS 650 entry.
Should be a great Race!

word around camp fire is my cousin Scott might be riding with Tim Farr on team Honda. Last week when I talked with him, he was making a deal with Honda to ride the baja Nothing is finalized yet, but I'll talk to him again this week, and see where he actually stands.

Listed among the other entries are TV star and motorcycle builder Jesse James of Monster Garage fame, TV sportscasters Paul Page and Cameron Steele, as well as Chad McQueen, son of Hollywood actor and former Mexican 1000 racer Steve McQueen.

Yeah it is him, I wonder what he is running or what they can run in his class? It would be cool if something he built in monster garage.

This is what I have heard so far.......very excited!!

The 450R is starting in spot #7a, and #12a. for the ATV class # 25. The drivers of record are Danny Rudd, and John Gregory.

Team Honda is spot number 7a, and my cousin Scott Callen is starting the race......so I think this is pretty sweet that he'll be the first man to ever race the 450 even before Tim Farr . Doug Eichner is is starting the 12a bike.

They were out testing the bikes built for the 1000 friday, and yesterday, and they clocked my cousin Scott on radar at 96mph....and he wasn't 5th pinned. From what I was told is they are using mainly Honda parts in the motor with a full exhaust, and I'm not sure about the carb, but I'm confident they've changed it out. The suspension is completely aftermarket. Of course the gearing was changed too. I don't know any details, since it was a five minute phone call Other than that My cousin said it's by far the fastest, and best handling bike he's ever rode......and he's rode many aftermarket Roll Design bikes, and anything else you can think of.

Only problem I see is my cousin is super hard on ATV's. I've seen him blow motors with in the first 5 miles of a race and completely fold bikes in half before the first pit stop.....this is why he's always started if it makes it past him, they have the best chance of winning.

Well That's all I've heard so far, but as I hear more I'll post GO SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
