An update from Mike:
manxvair wrote:One more day in Mexico. We spent the night in El Rosario, if all goes according to plan we'll be back in the USA this afternoon. We are still driving the buggies and looking at the trailer queen racers. It won't be much longer and the buggies will be back in their barn. Then it will be time for another awesome adventure.
"Wow what a ride!"

We made a stop at Meyers Manx HQ to drop off Bruce & Winnie,

and then the buggies returned to their barn that we left 9 days ago,
Image We drove them to the race, raced them, and drove them home! No trailer queens here, some of us are home now yet still others will not be home for a few more days, again thanks to all the wives for letting us go play and live our dreams. There will be more to follow as we get our pictures uploaded, stay tuned.

It was a great event and something that was well worth doing.

We didn't even use smoke or mirrors to get it done :)

OK so I finally got some pictures uploaded, not to many from the preparation as there was not much time to take pictures. There was a lot of work to do I was only there 3 days before the departure date. The checklists were full, the attention to detail was important. The fabrication skills and the equipment available made it all possible.

On the road finally, on the 1 day of the year it rains in So-Cal, my C2C trip started like that and that was an incredible journey!

Later then planned we made it to Horsepower Ranch in Ensenada.
