MDR CALIFORNIA 200

The Mojave Desert Racing's night race -- a 1900 start -- was blessed by lower temperatures and by an hours long thunderstorm on Friday night that dumped a lot of water on the Outlet Center course. At least the weather forecasted number of one-oh-nine was not approached.

Walker Evans
Baja and Beyond

Talk to any desert rat and ask "Who was the greatest desert racer of all time?" After some in-depth soul searching, fondly relived memories, and another long pull on his beer, you'll likely get the following response....

The Larkie 'O Show

Just riding the Baja 1000 sounds extremely serious to most riders. But riding for thirty-eight hours . . . on an ancient vertical twin? That sounds particularly grueling to almost any rider you might ask. But the prospect sounded pretty damn bueno to Larkin Wight. In commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of the Ensenada-to-La Paz race, the 34-year old Lucerne Valley (CA) Checker MC member assembled a 1967 650 Triumph - a traditional desert sled. And the test driver (he helped develop the LTV Hummer, driving it to Baltimore on the first leg of its round-the-world test run) rode it all the way to La Paz. Solo. Like, by himself. In 38 hours. With no formal pit pits and no chase crew.

Holladays in Hell - Days of Stunts,
Steve Holladay

You have seen Steve Holladay working, although you probably did not know it at the time. Sure, sure, he won the '68 Mexican 1000, one of Ed Perleman's NORRA TJ-to-La Paz extravaganzas. But you did not see him - even if you were actually there. He took over from the legendary Whitey Martino, far from the lights of the border and starting line hoorah, way down the peninsula at El Arco and won it all.
