So bummed that I missed the STR bbq darnit! Here is what I was doing while you all were having a good time.


Some wheeling testing out the new BFG MT KM2 tires


Little more wheeling action. I am behind the wheel in this one pic taken by another with my cam.


Group shot taken by BFG photog. Ofcourse I had to blink! This was right after we all finished driving the Wide Open Baja racecars.


Me driving the Wide Open Baja racecar... sooo much fun and so quick!


Me riding shotgun in this Pro Mustand racecar. BFG brought out 4 pro drivers to give everyone 3 laps shotgun around Miller Motorsports Track. Incredible!


Me driving the Audi 4 test vehicle on BFG road g-1 tires on a track testing WET performance. The Audi has a superb suspension system and the tires were like glue through soaking pavement.


Shot of the room at Hotel Manaco


Another room shot. Pretty nice but a little too much going on for my likes!


Finally, a shot of a little mud pit fun they setup for us to test the tires through mud terrain.

That looks like a fun trip Jordan...At least you were doing something cool....I guess you're off the hook for missing the BBQ.

But please keep your schedule open for next year.

I almost died at that ranch. My buddy and I were partying downtown Ensenada and well we got pretty hammered. Anyways he hawling azz of the main streets and a cop pulled him over. We had to pay the cop off then we are going back to the ranch and my buddy thinks he is doing the actual baja on the dirt road going into the ranch. Anyways we go down this little hill and all of a sudden their is this sudden left, my friend cuts left and we end up rolling the truck onto a side burm on my side of the truck. We were lucky nobody got hurt and the truck rolled back upright. It was kind of funny in the morning the truck was a mess and the two of the four truck tires were debeated. We had to do the old gasoline on rim trick to get those tires beated up. We actually used that truck for chase on the rest of the Baja. Mexico is crazy I want to retire out their.

Well, I have many stories much like that from Baja but we share a different retirement goal. I want to stay as far away from there as possible. I truely love the races and the race community but I can do without the ungreateful and nasty rude people including the govt and police.

26: JordansRealm has a better job than you, or me, or anyone that doesn't work at the playboy mansion.

Yup, it's true.

Nice pics, love the almost tripod shot of the Audi. That is sooo hard to do on a wet road. Was the Stang rolling on slicks or streets (tires)?

The stand was on BFG slicks g-force tires or something cant recall the name. It was a full racecar, rollcage, nothing inside but seats, new cluster, wheel, 600Hp engine, all new suspension, etc... When we first walked up to them they looked stock on the outside and I was like sheeze who cares about a ride lol.
