And 1101’s tracker miraculously worked overnight!<\/p>\n
1101 Rene Rodriguez has been the mystery man the entire race. Their tracker only worked at the beginning of the race for probably two seconds, and we the most we could gain from their position after that was only hearsay. We do know from 1116 Paul Nauleau’s report when he got out of 1116 at the checkpoint was that 1101 and 1116 battled it out for around 500 miles for first place, but they never saw them after that. Random reports trickled in that they were out of the race yesterday afternoon sometime, but after awhile no one knew where 1101 even was. Not even the other racing teams. So 1107 and 1116 continued to battle the desert. <\/p>\n
Last night, a question popped up about someone reportedly seeing 1101 cross the finish line. We already knew that 1115 had, even though they obviously were out of the race. It’s fun to cross the line and get the photos – after all, they came from the East Coast for the Baja 1000! There had been some confusion earlier about that, so we figured maybe that was just more confusion.<\/p>\n
After at least 39 hours of failure (that’s how long we had watched the race yesterday), 1101’s tracker suddenly started working again sometime last night. I have posted their course plot, and the information says they crossed the finish line at 10:02pm (well before the tracker even came back up for them). We had not heard anything about that from sources at the Baja or at SCORE itself, so I am not sure what happened. If they were not towed, and they did indeed make the full course in the time they had, that would put them in first place for the 2013 Baja 1000. Without sure and accurate reporting or the ability to track them yesterday, we still don’t know the true status of 1101 or the conditions surrounding it. We will try to keep you updated as we find out more. <\/p>\n
Seems 1101 should be named the Ghost…they appeared out of nowhere!<\/p>\n
