Has anyone ever raced the baja 1000 on an ATC? Or is it against the rules to run a 3 wheeler?


Just thought about this the other night. Id do it! :D

Brett Driscoll and Craig Corda used to race it with a mugen 360 powered 1982 250r!

[atc007]

There have been hundreds of fellas over the course of 81-86 to race it. In 1984, Team Honda ATC took second OVERALL on a well prepared,basically stock 1985 ATC 250R. Write that down and say it again lol. OVERALL.. BEAT the trophy trucks, Beat the buggies, and Beat ALL but 1 Motorcycle.. OVERALL. I SHOULD remember the team mates,but it is escaping me and boy am I ashamed of that. It was a HUGE victory for 3 wheelers. Coe,Dickson and ? Sparks would make sense. But Dammit ,it escapes me... Google is useless lol. ATV News has the answers I seek .

I met a racer at a xc race that has raced in a Baja 2000 and 4 Baja 1000 on a 4 wheeler though. He's been racing over 20 years and is unreal how fast he is. Seen this thread and thought I'd ask him some questions on how he did it. I asked him about the chase vehicles to keep him refueled and he said he had 3 chase vehicles. It would be unreal the logistics of doing this race.

^Too cool, that was a good read and thanks for the info guys.


I wonder if they still let trikes race? I looked at their rules on their web site and I didnt see anything saying all ATVs must have 4 wheels. So, maybe?:D

William Yokley???

[stroberts22]

No, his name is Rick Stanley.

[Joseph Farrow]

William was a cross country racer from Ky that raced the Baja several times.... His brother was also a great CX racer who ran 3 and 4 wheelers. His name was John Yokley. It was some fast CX guys out of Western Ky.

dont know about the baja 1000, but i do know it IS legal to race a trike against quads at motorcross tracks, ive raced in s.c. and oregon now they just thought i had a disadvantage, and you pretty much do against a high horsepower 450 quad, those things have alot more power

That would be tons of fun too. I dont have a 250R yet, just two big reds. Hopefully later this year well find a good one. But I was wondering if they would let you race at the MX track, and in scrambles and trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro. So thats cool that you can at your track.
