they infected it around the route.
The Protruck of Mango Racing incorporated to Trophy Truck was first in

The list of participants continued marching past, at single 6 kilometers
of "the Saladito" some of the runners no longer could arrive, the
plaintiff route was hardly beginning and already she received some of
his victims... Gabriel Garci'a was the last vehicle who we saw happen
directing itself to the section that runs by day.
In the class 22 Alex Vizcaíno and Alberto Ross they managed to arrive

in a race obtaining the first place in the quadricycle ones. Samuel
Andrade and his equipment arrived long before at the goal that closest
rival his in a good race in class 21. He is possible to emphasize the
effort made by Navarrese Raymundo, that when having problems with his
motorcycle to 2 kilometers of the goal, he had to push moto by the sandy
ways of the stream to arrive at the goal and to obtain the second place
of class 21, in a touching moment of goal since aside the way came
single with a hand center illuminating itself.
Officially starting mid afternoon, with goal in the city of Cabo San
Lucas, the winners would have a route of at least 7 hours and average
speaking of an excellent time, but Danny Anderson exceeded and surpassed
the expectations of the majority, when finishing the race in 6 hours
and 37 minutes, running all the race with light by day and enjoying the
finish line located in front of the Arch of Cabo San Lucas with the rays
of the Sun!

single-seater handling single the race from La Paz to Cabo. It spent a
considerable time, more than one hour to see arrive the following car,
and this it was Navarrese Flavio, that returned to have an excellent
participation in the CABO 500, obtaining the position of honor in the

impressive race took the class 1600 that by the way was the most
concurred of the event. Samir Creek that has had an excellent beginning
of year took to the class 8-S. To 4 in the morning it almost appeared in
I embroider of San Lucas # 1113 of Brown Fernando who with a remarkable
race took competed class 11.
Accidents and bad moments Lamentably like in all the events off road,
