Baja 1000 time

To my eye it looked like he got into it while still on the highway. Definitely really close.

People are also saying that Rob Mac was in the pits when Arciero passed him on the highway and rob somehow caught up while Arciero was doing the speedlimit, but that is all rumor.

Plus, how do you get alongside someone like that in a speed limit zone on the highway, in the WRONG lane? The rules are they must obey speed limits and traffic laws on those stretches, so there’s NO way what Rob Mac did was legit. Penalty deserved.

Good point, if these guys don't start playing by the rules better we are looking at the highway portions being untimed. Have a timing marker right before you hit the highway, then another starting line with another flag man at the next section of dirt.

Not a bad idea, but would take some serious observation. There are a LOT of speed limited highway sections. I could see a lot of racers making “coincidental” untimed stops for tire changes, water breaks, etc.

I was fortunate to pit for the Checkers back in 2007. Lots of work and little sleep, but something I will always remember. View attachment 702504 View attachment 702505 View attachment 702508 View attachment 702509 View attachment 702510 View attachment 702511 View attachment 702512

Thats awesome. I wonder if you wired my Client/friends car? Its a Lothringer also.

Doesn't look like it, but after 35 years of doing this, it's sorta blurry. Done wiring as of now, this year..been fun..another win at the 1000, all good!

There is another shot of this from the rear of the Jeep on Instagram. It’s insane. According to the recent post, the driver of the TT never even saw the Jeep. Lol...

That was Alexander Rossi, Indy car driver, not in a TT, but the Honda Ridgeline truck

Sorry but if someone tried to pass me in a speed controlled zone I would have pit maneuvered him.

read on one site that one of the monster girls got ran over at the starting line by the cops class 1 car.

Rob Mac was given a 15 minute penalty for unsafe illegal pass on the highway. He officially finished 3rd in TT and lost by 9 minutes. Doh!

Beautiful car with a plate, one more reason we are moving to Arizona...Lothringer has built a lot of cars that kick ass.
