Baja 500 (2007)

Cool, so what's a class 7?

Looks like a certan Andy Grider (702) and Scott Brady (704) are racing in that class.

Actually the dates on the site seem to be mixed so it's not so clear what is for 2006 and what's for 2007. Maybe some Scott Brady already ran this years 500

WT, those entries were for the Baja 500 this past June (06). The two names you cited just happen to be different guys who share the same names as the two guys we know. The Andy Grider we know was in a Class 10 car. Class 7 is open mini trucks.

There is only one Andy Grider that I know of and he was DNF'd with the Class 10 #1012 vehicle for the 500. There was a driver withdrawal in Class 7 (#702) about a month before the race and it may well have been Andy opting for a better ride. Really don't know, but the Idaho spud truck driver does.

It might just be another lucid dream, but I could swear the spudman told me there was another Andy Grider - strange I know, not exactly the most common name, let alone in the world of racing.

This whole "people with the same names" thing sounds like a big conspiracy to me....

And by "toyota", I assume you mean: "A whole bunch of tube that is covered with some fiberglass that sort of looks like a toyota"?

 

[calamaridog]

I bet I know who you are racing with and what you are racing in...

...but I hate to guess right and ruin your fun:sombrero:

NOOOOO, I'm not going to change my Avatar and Name to SpudTruckDriver...but OTOH, who knows???

THE Andy Grider did DNF in a Class 10 in the '06 Baja 500. He had been "Driver of Record" with the Class 7, but that team, hummmmm, how shall I put this?...collapsed earlier in the season with some MAJOR differences between Andy and his partners. I don't think the 702 ever made it south of the border.

There is a Scott Brady driving in Class 7, but I haven't met him.

But, now back to the subject at hand....

WOW! SUPER CONGRATS, SCOTT! THAT'S FANTASTIC!

Maybe you should give some thought to coming down for this years Baja Mil. The course hasn't been posted yet, but it's a fact that they are racing from Ensenada to La Paz, and the strong (from a reliable source) rumor is that the course will again follow the Puertecitos - El Crucero (Laguna Chapala) road. We plan to be in residence, of course, I won't be doing any pit stuff. Getting too old for that. Tentatively, Andy will be in the Class 10 and is supposed to ride the Suzuki with Travis Pastrana, Mouse McCoy, and a third rider in Class 22 (not sure who yet or even if this is happening).

Two years ago we clocked RG at 132 mph on the road near the PB turn-off!:smiley_drive: :Wow1:

Sorry, I meant to tag these photos by Lee Ames onto the above post. This is the Class 10 that Andy and Kevin Curtis (his partner in Curtis-Grider Motorsports) drove in the '06 Baja 500. As far as I know they will race the same car in the up-coming 1K.

Here's an interesting link to Donohoe Racing's FJ being readied for the upcoming B1K.

A "Brady" is mentioned in Post #10 in a related link about the FJ on RDC.
