Probable Winners in popular classes.

Trophy Truck

This class is very hard to call with more talent ever. In our opinion it's a toss up between the following racers.

#4 Gus Vildosola - With Rob MacCachren sharing the left seat, the Mexicana Logistic team nailed a solid win at San Felipe. By record, Rob is the best, active off-road driver on the planet. If Gus holds a good pace and team Logisitics are solid, a repeat is very likely.
Odds = 1 to 1

#7 Scott Steinberger - With Jesse Jones sharing the left seat and 100 more horsepower, the PCI, Off-Road.com truck is simply overdue for an overall.
Odds = 1 to 1

#81 Mark Miller - Mark took the win last year with Larry Ragland sharing the drivers duties. Ryan Arciero shares the left seat this year. If Mark can keep his "clear air" advantage his steady hand makes for a solid chance at the class win.
Odds = 2 to 1

#8 Dan Smith and Dave Ashley - Dan and Dave seem to either win or DNF. The hi-revving Ford V-8 and "Beta Test" transmissions have let them down in the past.
Odds = 2 to 1

#1 Tim Herbst - The high tech, four wheel drive truck is a clear advantage at the hands of Tim and Ed however, the "high-tech" issue remains a gamble.
Odds = 2 to 1

#3 Mark Post - With Jerry Welchel aboard, and Mark's speed increasing this team has a shot at the win.
Odds = 3 to 1

Class 1

#100 Troy Herbst - Troy's race has been an has high odds to be "Perfect as Perfect is". Look for an overall win in cars and trucks as well as a class win.

Odds = 1 to 1

#131 Dale Ebberts - Only a back of the pack start diminishes Dale's chance at a class win.
Odds = 2 to 1

#110 Mark Weyhrich - Fresh from a solid win at Pahrump, Mark has the momentum. Odds = 2 to 1

#115 Scott McMillin - The "Baja Racing Family". They know every rock, cactus and Ranchero in Baja.
Odds = 3 to 1
