2008: Off to Chihuahua for El Expresso!

-
"Moriah"

I am stoked to report that my PanAm team, TumbaBurros de Zacatecas (TBZ) has joined forces with Todd Landon's Mustangs To Go for the Chihuahua Express 2008 Road Rally in Chihuahua, Mexico on April 11-13, 2008.

Mustang builder Todd Landon will arrive with "Moriah", his 1967 Shelby GT350 convertible with rubber toes on the starting line. The piloto/copiloto team is led by the U.S. Organizer for La Carrera Panamericana, Gerie Bledsoe (CA) and includes Vance Stewart Jr. (Zacatecas, Mex), Vance Stewart III (VA) and Brian Glass (MN).
Todd's vintage Mustang corral also includes the highly competetive "Bag O' Nails" driven by Richard Tyzack (U.K.) and "The Gypsy Wind" driven by Doug Allen (CO) - both veteran Historic C cars/drivers of ChiX and La Carrera Panamericana (http://bisonspirit.blogspot.com/).

El Expreso is a 3-day road rally covering 1,000+ miles in the Mexican state of Chihuahua where competitors will race their powerful cars, put their skills to the test and feel the adrenaline rush in places like the world famous “Barranca del Cobre” (Copper Canyon) that encompasses six massive gorges spread over 25,000 square miles of rugged terrain with elevations ranging from 7,500 to 9,500 feet and peaks rising to 12,000 feet. The lineup is stacked with many PanAm competitors driving both late model and vintage race cars. It is sure to be a fun ride!

(It breaks my heart to miss Chi Chi with this fantastic and exciting new partnership, but I had already booked a spring skiing trip at Winter Park, Colorado. Both fun - tough choices!)


!BUENA SUERTE, AMIGOS!

2007: One Less Grasshopper in Oaxaca

We were among the first to arrive at the beautiful Victoria hotel overlooking Oaxaca. Though the cloud cover was low and we got rain off and on, I could see that we were in a large valley surrounded on all sides by imposing mountains. The dramatic view and the low clouds reminded me of Anchorage. This is a beautiful city! The beautiful Hotel Victoria overlooking the city of Oaxaca We got El Jefe off the trailer and fired her up. (I know she's got a man's name but it doesn't feel right to call a car a man......like, "He's running fine today.") The sound of El Jefe always gives me the chills when I first hear her throaty growl and feel the power. I drove her through the hotel grounds and was happy to have a handle on her again. Geezer and Rene showed me all the interior improvements from last year: the new and improved racing seats, repainted and sleeker interior, hooks behind the seats for our helmets, a better clipboard for the route book, a sturdier water bot

Sorry for the lack of posts!  I am sure everyone got the good updates from the other awesome bloggers.  I will spend time when I get home writing the stories and posting the photos as usual. We got 3rd in class (Turismo Produccion) and 27th overall!!! We are so stoked! Felicidades a todo de TBZ Racing: Geezer, Vance III, Rene, Bimbo, Tonio, Imelda, Juan, Carlos, Jose Luis, Fernando, and Juanito!!!  We could not do it without the big team effort. El Jefe rolling through the finish lines and crazy crowds in downtown Zacatecas. It is our 3rd year getting 3rd overall in class and last year we were 29th overall so we are doing the slow crawl up, which is what we do.  The guys in our class ahead of us were way up there - 5th and 11th overall - so it is fun to run with the big dogs! The legendary "Cowboy" from the Australian Holden FJ team. Robert Gehlen navigating Miles Jones to the finish! El Zorro (Fernando Garcia AKA El Fer)! My dad's girlfrie
