On to the Rig

As people are starting their coundown for the 46th BAJA 1000 this November, I am getting more and more excited for an event that is more than a year away. The latest infusion of excitement comes in an unlikely form. A church bus.

My uncle owns a local service station - a cool neighborhood joint with full-service pumps and a 3-bay service station. He makes it possible for old ladies in vintage Cadillacs and Mercedes to never have to put gas in their cars, or air in their tires. It has a very nostalgic feel, and I really admire the business he has built.

Anyways, one of his relationships paid off for the BAJA effort. A local church had a shuttle bus sitting, taking up valuable lot-space. I have a feeling the "support crew" is going to grow since we have the room.

The more the merrier.
