Honorable Metions
Class 22 -Steve "Points Champ" Hengeveld and Jonah "Easy" Street - These guys finished third overall and clinched the points championship for the motorcycles. Sportsman Tomcar -These guys drug this tough-ass Kohler-powered Tomcar over the Rubicon for starters. Then to everybody's amazement, a couple of parapalegics get behind the wheel and take the car through one of the roughest Baja 1000s in history. Incredible! According to SCORE officials, they didn't finish. But, we got a glimpse of them cruising around Ensenada in the tough little Tomcar on Sunday morning. What does that mean? They made it back and the car was still in one piece. 
The Father of the Baja - Ed Pearlman Kicks Ass! He started the Baja 500 in 1967 with two racers, himself and Dick Cepeck. By 1968, there were approximately 137 race. In 1969, there were approximately 257. It was the beginning what would become an epic journey from which an entire community would develop and find itself here. Pearlman at this time contemplates why the TV, sponsors, and money aren't as abundant when the people and interest in the sport are. Present with him at the finish line as he waved the checkered flag Johnny Campbell crossed the finish line was his grandson Lasey, of Saugus, Calif.. Share Your Baja
