Default Why can't Porche do a Baja 1000

I pitted for the BMW Moto Race team Last Fri.

We had a night pit at the end of a 2km portion of blacktop with a hard left up a 20% dirt slope.

Herbst of Terrible Herbst Gas fame had 2 top flight cars 6,000 lb +.

He and others in his class took that hard left in full power slide making it a high speed sweep. Whooofff..........

Anyone interested in throwing that up for consideration to US porche? I'll help to the extent I can. The turbo would be the truck....

They could use the promo... falling sales , etc.....

VW does Dakar with the Toureg- of course, Porsche used to do it with the special prepped 959's. I'd be all for it!

I did some research on the classes.

Hummers 1&2 run in the sport truck class. I don't know if it's brand specific. If it isn't - there were only a few entrants. so a win is possible.

Now how do you outfit a Pepper for 20" travel shocks in front & 30" in rear.
