One of the best things about preparing to race the 2008 Baja 1000 are the people you meet along the way. I’m a member of the Baja 1000 group on Facebook and have been trading emails with an Australian team who is going down in Baja in November. Their team is called Aussie Iron Rider and is comprised of two brothers, Warren Lovelace and Adrian Lovelace. The crazy part – both of these blokes plan to solo the entire race! Warren is riding a 2005 Honda TRX 450R, Iron Man in the Sportsman ATV class. Adrian is riding a 2001 Honda XR 400R, Iron Man in the Sportsman Motorcycle class. The Dukes of Flatbush will have four riders to share the pain, so we certainly tip our hats to anyone crazy enough to go it alone. We wish them the best of luck and will see them in Mexico!
