WTF

Everything is going so smoothly we can't believe we are racing in Mexico! And then we remember we are at Chihuahua Express, not La Carrera Panamericana! This is a super well organized race with a classy and personable race director, Chacho Medina, and a great staff, and we love it.  It is so great to see our wonderful once or twice a year racing friends. It is amazing the friendships we've built here over the last 10 years; these are the tops of the most positive, joyful, spirited, funny, sassy, generous and fun-loving people I know.  My welcome crew at the airport was funny - El Fer standing alone holding a BABY CHICKEN sign, with Geezer appearing next and finally Rene. I wanted to hug them all forever.  My welcome crew in Chihuahua - El Fer - love this man! Geezer's Saleen is super cool and he loves it. He saw it for the first time in almost 9 months on Monday night. El Fer said he was like a little kid at Christmas.  Geezer sees his Sale...

Equipo Tumba Burros de Zacatecas (TBZ) is in final preparations to run two cars in the 2016 Chihuahua Express in Chihuahua, Mexico.   We will be running El Jefe for the first time at ChiX, with Vance Stewart III and  René Rodríguez N.  sharing driving and copiloting duties. El Bandido, Geezer's 2005 Saleen Mustang, took 8 months to legally cross the Mexican border so we weren't able to do a race car build on it.  As a consolation, the Geezer and I will be running it in a class called The Tour (a time/speed/distance format).  We agreed that we will probably both be horrible at this format as we are used to all out speed rallys, but also agreed we are just there to have fun! He says I'm driving and I think once he sets eyes on that gorgeous car for the first time, he is going to want to drive! I am excited to race but more excited to see all of our dear racing friends in the beautiful setting of Mexico's Copper Canyon, and experiencing with these friends ...
