Well we are as ready as we will be at this point! We are headed out this Wednesday evening and should be in Ensenada Mexico on Thursday at some point. Once in Ensenada we will have a few days to register, get our paperwork, go through tech for the race and of course attend contingency with all the other racers and of course fix/finalize/pack the bronco for the race. Race starts April 28th from Ensenada.

I will post up how to follow, track and even watch the race through the NORRA live stream - there should be some pretty good live video streaming throughout the race at various points.

We will have two satellite trackers on the Bronco, one on the Chase Van - I will post links to both before the race.
My wife will be posting to the Baja Bronco Adventure page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/bajabroncoadventures/) , including status updates, links to tracking and any photos we can get out throughout the race. Sorry for those who don't have a facebook account - its the easiest and quickest way to get to the most people - maybe borrow an account to check it out :)

It feels like we have enough spare parts to build another Bronco and hopefully we have covered enough bases to be able to fix most stuff as needed. Its been a long slog and I cannot thank everyone enough who has pitched in their time, money and parts to get us this here.
Of course I wouldn't have made it without the tireless - and i mean TIRELESS efforts of Mike Root, Phil (Viperwolf1) and Jeremy Johnson - without them I can honestly say I would never have made it.

In any-case here are some photos of the Race Bronco!

Yep, they are staged, the live coverage is running and there is a list on the NORRA website for the start order of the cars, Chis & Co are scheduled to cross the line @ 11: 41 MST if youΓÇÖd like to catch it on the live stream.
