View Full Version : FSB Broncospeed Baja Bash October 6-7
Brokenbronco 08-01-2007, 03:49 PM What? Broncospeed Baja Bash.
Where? Baja California Mexico. We'll be doing about 140 miles off road from Santo thomas to San Quintin. Meeting spot to be determined.
When? October 6-7 2007
Who? Anyone that wants to go! This run will be stocker freindly, so don't be affraid!
What to bring? Whatever tools/supplies you think you will need to make repairs.
Recovery gear.
At minimum a cb radio, race radio would be preferred.
Fuel will be plentiful no reason to bring any cans.
Mexico insurrance, we can get it before the border crossing, i prefer AAA but the choice is yours.
AAA Baja map.
California or whatever state you are from drivers liscence, or birth certificate (passports are not required till 08)
Bottled water! You know what they say about drinking water in mexico:uke:
Bags of goodies i;e candy/gum or steekers. The kids dig steekers, but also enjoy candy. I just like taking stuff for the kids down there.
Those are the basics, there will be plenty of places to get food along the way, and there is a nice resturaunt/bar in San Quintin.
I need a head count in the next month in order to make reservations at the old mill. Most rooms are double occupancy, the rest are 4 per room, and a dorm room. So please tell me how many are in your party. I need to stress that i will need a head count as soon as possible! The old mill fills up fast.
Ok, So who's in?

Damn.....that is my wedding anniversary. She did say she wanted to go to Mexico, but I think she meant Rocky Point.
Brokenbronco 08-01-2007, 04:05 PM It's not Rocky Point, but it is pretty nice, and the old mill has a honeymoon suite!:histerica:toothless

Brokenbronco 08-03-2007, 02:40 AM There has been a date change! We will be going the weekend of october 6-7.
BajaBronco13 08-04-2007, 04:04 AM Hey guys I'm a "Maybe" for this trip since I'm going down to Baja for the 1000 and I'm not sure how much time I can get off. Though it sounds like a good time to me. If I go, I'll be taken the daily driver Bronco and it's pretty much stock so not sure if I'll be able to hang with you guys.

Joes93Bronco 08-04-2007, 04:42 PM Someone pm andy351 and tell him. His Mexico thread was awesome and he might wanna get in on this.
Nevermind I'll do it.
Pasta Bronco 08-05-2007, 05:12 AM Sounds like it should be a blast I really want in but i cant say yet about to start a new job so we'll see if scheduling will allow it. Man i wish i knew if i could go right now.
Blueblood 08-05-2007, 05:03 PM i will be down for this years 1000 so i cant go down twice in less then a month and half. wont be bring the bronc anyway. if anyone going down for the race let me know
Brokenbronco 08-10-2007, 01:35 PM Wow it sure got quiet in here...
flyinbronco 08-30-2007, 02:56 PM Damn Nick, I want to go down with you guys but just can't swing it so close to the Baja mil. I've got Autofab motor & tranny mounts to get in along with replacing the baked tranny in my ride. Tons of other prep to make sure its ready. The VORRA short course races start at the end of September and run every other weekend up by Sacramento and I want to see them too. I know you guys will have a blast. Have a couple tacos for me.
Brokenbronco 08-30-2007, 03:22 PM I'm all for re-scheduling this trip so that more can make it! It would be cool to get a whole mob of broncos going down there together!
Throw out some alternative dates.
yikesbb 08-30-2007, 04:30 PM A re-schedule would be good for me. My rigs up on jackstands at the moment. Not sure of a date. Nobody is going to sign up near the 1k, so early Dec?
Brokenbronco 08-31-2007, 12:49 AM I'd have to check the calendar, but early dec sounds good.
What should we do with this thread?
yikesbb 08-31-2007, 12:52 AM Let's settle on a date and we'll get the date updated in the sticky.
redwagon 08-31-2007, 01:00 AM A re-schedule would be good for me. My rigs up on jackstands at the moment. Not sure of a date. Nobody is going to sign up near the 1k, so early Dec?
what are you doing to it?
locopny 08-31-2007, 02:51 AM I'm still thinking about this...just dont know until everything is settled here.
Brokenbronco 08-31-2007, 03:40 AM what are you doing to it?
Tim, we'll just do like Yikkes said. we'll confirm another date, then just change the existing thread headline.

I meant his bronco....:duh
carlos_83 09-04-2007, 02:52 AM so it's moved for early dec?
Brokenbronco 09-04-2007, 03:46 AM December sounds good to me...
lilfoot79 09-11-2007, 12:32 AM hey guys ket me know wassup on the dates.i live in el centro which is 20 minutes to mexicali but can make san diego quite fast. very interested in doin a bronco trip .plus i have a few buddy's with broncs that might be interested as well.please let me know.thanxz

Welcome aboard lilfoot! Just keep an eye on this forum for updates and other trips. hope to see ya out there!
Andy351 09-11-2007, 02:38 PM i like this idea. settle on a date and i will do what i can to show up and teach you a thing or two about big dumb rock tractors that go kinda fast.
fartman 09-11-2007, 03:01 PM How many days total will this trip be?
Andy351 09-11-2007, 05:08 PM it takes about a day to get there and a day to get back if you start and end in ensenada, the closest big city to santo tomas. it would be cool to stop and stay at cuatras casas if there are any surfers/skaters in the group.
Brokenbronco 09-11-2007, 08:05 PM Glad to see you guys are interested! the trip has been postponed for now, we are looking at some different dates at this time, one that stands out is for early march. Throw some dates ot that work for you guys so we can see if they work for the rest of the group.
Like Andy said, this is easily done in a weekend, barring any breakdowns, or other emergencies. Hitting up quatro casas would be cool, but i have to say that i am gearing this trip to be more family oriented. If the group wants to split, at some point that's fine by me, i think that Andy sorta knows his way around that area.
So anyways, throw some dates out, and stay tuned for a final decision.
Wanna Bronco 09-14-2007, 07:17 PM yeah i was going to have a hard time swinging this. i am going to Truckhaven (i think) oct 20, and then glamis the weekend after halloween. so early december would be awesome. it can be my birthday present!! i will keep checking back. if i can get my bro's scout in good working order, we can bring that down also.
Andy351 09-14-2007, 11:58 PM i think that Andy sorta knows his way around that area.
yea you just drive south till you get where ever you are going. :toothless
Brokenbronco 09-15-2007, 01:42 PM yea you just drive south till you get where ever you are going. :toothless

BRETT FREDRICKS 09-20-2007, 02:33 PM I will be in san felipe from the 12th to 20th. petes camp poker run is on the 13th. if any one is intreseded let me know. As far as march for a baja run, lets prerun the baja 250. maybe camp out some where or go back to ensanada. Our team preruns both weekends before the race and the thurs/fri of race weekend. We allways have a great time (we have 2 broncos and a newer 4 seater) if your bronco is up to the task Let me know, your more than welcome to come along.
Wanna Bronco 10-25-2007, 08:50 PM so whats up guys? are we going to do this in deciembre or what? thats right around the corner........

bossind 12-02-2007, 12:03 PM I might be up for that, too far to bring my bronco though but could ride shoot gun if someone has and open seat. I'll being my camera. :)
yikesbb 12-02-2007, 12:16 PM Nick seems to be MIA. I PM'd him a few days back and haven't received a reply, which is unusual. Hope all is well. In our last conversation, he was still planning a mid December weekender down there. Hopefully he'll chime-in in the next few days.
locopny 12-02-2007, 01:01 PM I'll give him a call-let him know about this thread activity.
steveG 12-02-2007, 01:45 PM I've been thinking Nick has been a little quiet lately too....
Brokenbronco 12-03-2007, 07:47 PM Here i is!
