never heard of tire johnny (had to google it) but 73 miles with no pressure is impressive. So what do you have done to your XX? what other racing do you plan on doing? what would you suggest to someone who would like to start racing? sorry you said we could ask??? lol
The Tire Johny's are a hard foam type of insert, and are sold by GBC for $487.00, and offered no discount for being a dealer or racing. You have to have something in those tires. Either Tire Balls or Tire Johny's, Slime won't cut it.
I will have to meet with the everyone to discuss the future of team "Old School". One of our drivers has no intrest in off-road racing, wants to pursue F1 or Indy racing.
I'd do it again!!!
We spent our own money for this race, for it to continue we'll need some sponsors. That could happen, since we did "finish" the race. Sure we raced to win, but a DNF was not an option for our first time at the BAJA 1000 if we wanted to see sponsors or support later.
You'll see in these posts what I did to prepare the machine. I would do most of the same the next time.
I have to say that the number one thing I'd do different next time is spend more money on a real good GPS. One of my legs of the race was at night with the trophy trucks and buggies catching while hitting the whoops. It's tough to navigate when your in a dust cloud for 80 straight miles. Our overall time to complete the race could have been much better if we had not of relied on finding race markers. One of our drivers even went off course by about 20 miles in the middle of the night.
