    Recovery Team for the Chupacabra 300 Oct 1

    I've been talking to Chris Leitner from Baja Racing Texas and they are looking for some volunteers to help form recovery/support teams for the Chupacabra 300, which is taking place September 29 - October 2. Basically this is a 300 mile closed course race on a 50 mile loop in the Texana Ranch that will be both day and night. For recovery there will be roughly 8 teams that each have their own zone and in that zone they will be responsible for keeping the track clear and aiding the racers. Each team will need a vehicle or two that can handle normal recovery stuff and will be supplied with a trail guide that knows the ranch (Ross Creek Trail Riders).

    Also Chris is planning on having a weekend of wheeling before the race for anybody who is wanting to help so he can go over details and what-not.
    - Which was Awesome

    Website: http://www.bajaracingtexas.com/chupacabra_300/

    I'm definitively wanting to go and taking the dodge so I got 3-4 seats open and could tow someone, who's interested?





    Update-
    This is coming up and I need confirmations ASAP. I've got a nearby room that has 2 or 3 beds and floor space if need be, the beds are taken but will be open for people wanting to shower or sleep on the floor. Also Sunday wheeling will be allowed.

    Things you'll get
    - Recovery T-shirt with reflective ink
    - Hand held radio to communicate
    - GPS file of race track and ranch
    - A Trail Guide

    Requirements for recovery vehicles and participants
    - Front and rear tow points
    - Additional lighting (not just head lights)
    - Sober (during the race)
    - Must have attended at least 1 TAMOR off-road trip or made other arrangements with me to demonstrate common Safety knowledge

    Recovery Teams

    Travis with the Dodge, probably towing Tommy
    -one open seat
    -Hopefully leaving Thursday

    Tommy with the Bronco

    Hudson (hudhawk) with a Taco

    Just Watching the Race

    Wants to help, but needs a ride

    Matt ?
    Sam
    Adam ?

    I'm glad there is some interest, I think this is a great opportunity for tamor and could be a lot of fun. I should find out more information next week, but if you would be interested in using your own vehicle and tools for recovery and getting more than one "recovery team" post up.

    I spoke with Chris and he said we are GTG and to let him know how many people and rigs we can get to help out. Also he is working on getting the Texana Ranch to open up the first weekend of September so we can get our selves familiarized with the place and go over what needs to be done.

    And another thing:

    Chris is having a DVD release party at some speedy shop in San Antonio September 24, might be cool if your in the area.

    I spoke with Chris again, which was excited to see our interest on the forums, and the pre-run for recovery teams is set for labor day weekend, this will be a private event so we will have a chance to meet with all the people running the event and the ross creek trail riders who will be our guides. This will be a big chance to learn what all is going down and to get a feel for the ranch and I will definitively be there. Chris has the club house reserved with probably ~5 beds open and I know me and Tommy call dibs on two (no homo).

    I think this is a great opportunity for our club to get some national exposure and should be very exciting so if you're interested post up so we can get a head count. Also we got mentioned on BRT's facebook and might even get our logo thrown in with their sponsors. Here's the link http://www.facebook.com/BajaRacingTexas so go like it.

    Just FYI RV hook-ups are first come first serve and will probably go fast for the main event, a lot of west coast guys and big sponsors are suppose to be showing up.


    The facebook page only had about 695 likes, let's see if we can get than over 700 to show a little support?

    That works dude, and for anyone else you don't have to come out on labor day to still help but at least try to let me know if your planning on making the race and or if you're going to help out so I can get a head count by labor day.
