Robby Gordon Beats Baldwin at Baja 500

[bajasurf]

Robby Gordon beats B.J. Baldwin for 4 wheel overall victory at the 41st Tecate Score Baja 500. Link below to the Score website with details on the race under "press releases".
I am attaching 4 photos of Gordon and Baldwin taken a few miles outside of Erendira. At this point, about 315 miles into the race, they were about 5 seconds apart but when Gordon screamed by me the dust cloud was so thick it was blinding. Gordon was right on top of me and I could not see Baldwin but could hear his engine and made a instant decision to back up some from the road and then he pooped out of the dust. He had to slow down as it was obvious he couldn´t see and he was at that moment 10 seconds behind. Link to Score:

Right on, i saw them lifting the cars into or out of a container yesterday. Are they headed for a race overseas?

Penalties had a pretty big effect on the official results.. but Gordon still beat Baldwin.

Dave: You nailed it as the trucks and buggies are heading for Germany for a Baja 500 style race. Link: http://www.baja-powerdays.com

Joel, Thanks for the update and link. I had not checked Score for the final results. Wow, an hour and half penalty because his pit was within 50 feet of the road. But rules are rules.
