Strobel Finishes Strong 6th Overall in 45th Baja 1000

After 1,122 miles, 8 pit stops and 4 driver changes the Strobel Motorsports #94 Trophy Truck team moved up from their 15th starting position to claim the 6th place finish in the 2012 Baja 1000. The team had an elapsed time of 20 hours, 39 minutes, 5 seconds – a mere 40 seconds behind the 5th place truck and only 1 minute and 19 seconds out of the 4th place spot. This strong peninsula run also awards the team a solid 4th place in the premier SCORE Trophy Truck class points standings for the 2012 season. Additionally driver Steve Strobel is one of only 5 Trophy Truck drivers to complete every mile of the SCORE series races to capture the coveted Toyota Ironman award.

"Super Bowl" of off-road racing - The Baja 1000 Prerunning Is Underway

The initial prerunning of the grand-daddy of all off-road races has been in progress for a week now.  Adding to the challenge and complexity Hurricane Paul strafed the center of the Baja peninsula creating some localized flooding and washing out some roads as well as many points on the race course.

More prerunning will continue the first week in November with all 3 driver/co-driver teams heading back down to complete their "homework" and marking the course.

I would encourage our race fans to become fans of our team on facebook in order to receive more up-to-date and more frequent updates on race progress going forward.  This medium appears to have broader appeal than our team blog so it receives more content.  Like our facebook page at www.facebook.com/strobelmotorsports

Thanks folks!  More to come as the weeks lead up to the start of this year's 45th annual running of the Baja 1000.  It is a peninsula run starting in Ensenada on Thursday, 11/15 and finishing down in La Paz BCS sometime on 11/16.  Go Strobel Motorsports!

Baja 500 Prerunning Winding Down

Steve Strobel and Co-driver LJ Armas have been logging the miles this week in the team's Ford Raptor prerunner.  The legendary Baja 500 will start at 10am PT on Saturday.  Be sure to track the Strobel Motorsports team progress live online on Saturday.  You can click on the tracking links here on this blog or surf to our team website at www.strobelmotorsports.com where you can find links to the various live tracking sites as well.

Chase 4 Build Nearing Completion

The Strobel Motorsports team is well into the final stages of building our "Chase 4" transporter / tow vehicle. This unit is specifically designed to tow the race truck or prerunner into Baja with enough spare equipment, tools, etc. but with a smaller profile than our existing team transporter to better maneuver the highways and conditions on the Baja peninsula. This will be a great addition to the support fleet and will strategically help in Mexico races going forward, starting with this year's SCORE Baja 500. Take a look at more pictures/slideshow here.
