  “It was like a blackout through the fog all the way to Santa Rita and it was really difficult,” said Hengeveld. “You don’t know where the livestock is and the lights don’t pick them up. It was one of the most hectic times of the ride and then it cleared up again. I got going on the pace, and I just tried to ride as smooth as possible to bring it in safely without any mistakes. The bike ran flawless. The Honda CRF450x is an awesome machine. Without the engineers at Japan, American Honda and Precision concepts, we wouldn’t be here today. This my 10th SCORE Baja 1000 win and it feels so good.”

The Finish line is now officially open but no signs of the leader 1x coming in. We are anticipating at least 3 more hours before we see any action here. Well, I take that back, there is some action if you consider the Tecate girls shaking their booty. (Photo by Matt Emery)
