Tim and Kelsey get lost..
Okay, My names Tim. I'm a newb to the site. I don't do any one type of adventure so I really like this site because one weekend it may be mountain biking or scuba and the next a trip to Japan.
Got back last night from a little weekend adventure. We raced the Sonora 500. (500 kilometers)
I did the 1st lap of 150 miles. Everything went great. Leading our class. Averaged about 50 miles an hour. (since the cars tops out at 68, it was a FAST course)
We ran from San Luis down to el Gulfo. Then along the beach for 10 miles. (it was absolutely beautiful! and since other cars didn't air down like us I passed much faster cars in higher classes along the beach! :smiley_drive: )
The second half of the lap consisted of running through the desert back up to san luis.
My partner got in the car and did about 30 miles when the motor blew. The fan broke and a VW will overheat almost immediately so it blew a whole out the side of the motor. The spark plug was still hanging on the wire, but there was a 2 inch hole where it should go in. OOPs! It was a lot of fun though. Beautiful area. I love going down there!

Gratuitus changing shot. Stop staring!
10 minutes to go, belting up.
I basically try to sleep right before the start to get my nerves and concentration together.
And we're off. For a really fast and exciting lap!
