Team Green Kawasaki Teryx WIN 2009 Tecate Score
Baja 500
DragonFire Racing Team Green Kawasaki Teryx win
the Baja 500. Winning Baja in no small
task, and I would like to personally thank my
Sponsors, Team Green Kawasaki, Fox Racing Shox's,
ITP Tires and Wheels, Gear One and Redline
Webber. It is with their support and the
support of my Family, Friends, Fans and
DragonFire Staff; we were able to but the
DragonFire Racing Team Green Kawasaki Teryx
across the finish line first. Special
thanks go out to my pit Crew. We had 4
chase trucks this year. Chase 1:
Darren and John, Chase 2: the Bi Polar Team lead
by Jim Creegan, Chase 3: on the Dry Lake Bed
Kevin, and Chase 4: Rasp, Erick, Jeff, and Fugi,
also to my wife and DD for watching the IRC
tracking and providing updates all day.
This race would not have been successful without
the determination of my two Drivers Reid Nordin
and Hans Waage. We had one issue with a
rear upright at RM 190 that cost us 3 hours to
drive in and repair, but beyond that the race
was flawless.
This year we used three new DragonFire Products
on the Car, things we learned from the 1000 and
these changes made the car run fast and cool all
day. We used our Canister air system, new
EFI and oiling system, as well as new Alternator
design. Special thanks to Darren for
coming up with the design of these new products,
and understanding what it would take to have our
cars cross the finish line.
Darren was also instrumental in prepping my
Class 1 car; we had a flawless race until RM
423, just a few miles from the finish. We
had an electrical failure that stopped the car.
We battled between 3rd and 5th all day, the guys
from COPS, Park House, the Herbst's, Danzio and
Lettner's made it a great battle all the way to
the finish. I drove the entire race with
Jack Mc Cormick at my side keeping me motivated
throughout this 8 hour battle.
Several
times battling with our Trophy Truck Team that
had a brake line get cut off at RM 20 that put
him back with the Class 1 cars all day, and was
able to still finish 10th in TT. Great Job
Pistol for keeping the truck out front and
brining her home.

Thanks for the support and See you at LOORS in a
few weeks.
