To add some controversy to the Baja 1000 Results and "King of the Hill"

There are 3 quads entered in the Experimental class "Quads"

A banshee is placed in 42nd and has completed all the stages.

A Raptor is next in 75th and has not completed any stages beyond 11.

And finally a DS is in 120th and has not completed any stages past 6.

It seems that the tried and true is leading them all.

 

The Banshee is on top again. This is the hardest off road race in the world you even have to dodge land mines. Josef Machacek I think is the only person to complet the Dakar on an ATV.

 

I'm just wondering where you're getting your results. From TV, the web, magazines?
I'd really like to know...
Thanks

Last year, a french guy finished the Paris Dakar on his Warrior...Yamaha Power!!
It's way tougher than a Baja. 2 weeks long (something like that), fesh fesh sand...it's like riding glamis all day long (12-14h a day, even more on the hard days) with a 800 lbs quad (you have to carry tons of stock (fuel, water, tools...) and no paddles tires since the day after, you have to go through a straigh rocky section. I have seen the machines (cars, trucks, bikes...but not the quads) something like 5 years ago...it's really wild how monstruous those mahcines are!!
I miss the daily reportage on the day stage on TV.

 

I saw i on speedvision. I didnt see any quads. I had never heard of itm. I thought it was some european racing becasue al i saw was a bmw. SO i cahnge the channel
