Last race of the 2010 Pro Baja Season / Cheers, Charity and Championships!
Yes!....it is Pink
The last race of the Pro Baja season, in La Paz, Baja California Sur was held October 31st. Pro Baja led the Charity drive for Onco Reto B.C.S., to raise funds for new equipment for the early detection of Breast Cancer. Yes, we actually painted the truck Pink! Everyone wore pink shirts in support of this great cause, happy to help! Congratulations to everyone for a great effort.
"La Cachora"
An special course lap, by all race vehicles, was dedicated to the memory of Eduardo Fernandez of La Cachora Racing, who recently passed away. A great racer and competitor and a great team.
The entire La Paz racing community will long remember the many great races and wins that this team earned over the years.
Class one
The last race of the season is always an exciting event. This year Pro Baja chose the Monroy Circuito as a venue which proved a big success. This is short course, only 1.6 Kilometers, but a great spectator venue, many who actually camped out overnight on Saturday, to secure the best vantage points for seeing the whole track.
Oops !!
A race course this tight with so many entries in each class is going to have some casualties!
Lots of bumping and grinding and exchanges in tight corners, but as always, great sportsmanship from great competitors, with no injuries except for bruised egos!
Class 5 Gladiators
Many thanks to Manolo Nunuz of Pro-Baja for organizing a really incredible season.
Even in challenging economic times we saw strong entries in every race which is a testament to the Pro Baja organization and the succesfull and careful planning of events throughout the year.
The fan support that we enjoy is successful in part because of this sanctioning organization, which offers venues that are accessible, race dates with no conflicts, advance scheduling, great route planning and a lot of hard work. Thank you Pro Baja for your great efforts!!
Happy Winner
Once again Andrea Tomba and ATR racing secured the Class 8 open championship!
It was a challenging year with many ups and downs, close races, tight competition, broken equipment, bent differentials, broken shocks, flat tires, ignition system mishaps, bent drive shafts, no brakes and hot weather. God what joy!
Andrea Tomba Racing Team Photo
The 2010 season was great fun as always and without the efforts of a great many people it would not be possible to race at all, let alone win championships.
The people in this team photos all contributed to a great season. These dedicated individuals are what Baja racing is all about. Everyone plays a part in the overall success of the team. This is a family of committed and talented individuals who all deserve a pat on the back.
A special thanks though to Andrea and Anna Tomba for their leadership and spirit. We are all proud to be involved and look forward to another great season next year.
