The coverage of the 1000 sucks. The only way I've found to track the cars is with the SCORE race tracker. http://score-international.com/2020-Races/baja1000/livetracking.html

#1945 and #1919 are the Raceco built Talons.
The Raceco Talon that is leading the N/A class...

Where is the resident KRX nut swinger now??? 🤣
Don't know if I'm a "nut swinger" but I do have a KRX. I've driven both KRX and Talon stock and, frankly I'm more impressed with the construction and handling of the KRX......this is after pining for a Talon. Doesn't mean that I'm not happy to see Honda do good. I wish my KRX had the same type of drive train as my Pioneer or a Talon.......but I'm old enough to realize that I can't wait forever for the perfect UTV.

And most importantly..... The #1945 IS NOT a factory sponsored car. They are just a couple guys that wanted to race the Baja 1000 in a Honda and spent their own money to make it happen. :cool:

that’s what I like! Grass roots racing with people that WANT to race just to do it. I have zero experience racing or even desert riding but would love to do something like Baja or mint 400 at least once. That would be a fabulous adventure.

I cringe just thinking about running a Pioneer in a race like that. Almost as bad as the stock VW class. I bet there is a class for Pioneers though. Been a while since I've been to one, but they are a celebration of engineering, innovation, personal grit, and resourcefulness. Especially the privateers. They make something out of nothing compared to the factory teams.....It is great when they win or place.

The Proctor car is on track to win Unlimited UTV as well I believe.

Honestly I have zero interest in anything Proctor does. With the amount of money, testing and factory backing they have in those cars they sure have unimpressive race results. If Honda was smart they would start backing Raceco. :cool:

Raceco parts are super nice. I have their radius rods, trailing arm brackets right now and plan on buying their front A arms in the near future.

We've had several people tell us Proctor creates alot of his own problems, but then again he says that JR hasn't been great to deal with and they've been pretty much hung out to dry with the turbo and had to figure it out themselves. They didn't have a turbo for KOH testing till almost a month before the race.

My GM had the Raceco front arms on our race car but we had to go narrow to win races. He still runs their radius rods, trailing arm pivot braces, front shock tower brace and tie rod kit.

Depending on how next year goes, we plan on building a car from the frame up for IXCR and possibly some Tex Plex racing.
