From Breauxman: Max Eddy Jr and Ricky Brabec bring the 104x home for Jim ONeal and Shane Esposito. What's very cool about this is that Ricky and Max shared the entire peninsula from San Felipe to La Paz on a shoestring w one driver and borrowed support from Desert Assassins- and got 3rd overall!!! Their trailtech voyagerreads a top speed of 106MPH Nice
From Chilly re: Quinn: 1:48 am updates Chilly talked with Quinn, he is a bit beat up, probably a broken leg, but sitting up in his own truck on the way from Santa Rita to La Paz with Dr. and Charly.
From THR: "Well we gave it everything we had and we came up a bit short. A mechanical failure occurred at about mile 995 not allowing the bike to finish. Robby, Destry, David and Steve did their job. They had us in a position to be Baja Champions! Congrats to JCR for their victory and retention of the 1x plate. This was the most exciting Baja season for bikes in years and all of us at THR were proud to be part of it."

No sh*t man. From the thread for Solo rider "frog" on 257x : A post at 5:19am today: a few hours later: Frog is still doing fine, last I heard he plans to finish just after dark! I'm trying to find any sightings on 274x. Apparently not on this thread, but if not then does anybody know a better thread or site that is being updated with numbers that have been sighted???? thanks!
How about 201X? This is the "Race for the Wounded" entry, spot tracker looks to have quit about 7 AM near San Ignacio. Any news from anyone?

Some of the international finishers: 301X w/ Arredondo and Pal Anders (and a couple of fast guys from Southern CA) finished 7th O/A bike and 2nd in Pro 30 class 6X Aussie Pro Team w/ the Stranges and J Smith finished 8th O/A bike and 4th in Pro22 class 404X Aussie Lloyd Andrew finished 26th O/A bike and 2nd Ironman!--(Still) BADASS! (*fixed--didn't catch Kawell as a solo racer, also)
