We’re gearing up and getting organized for the 2014 season and received some “inclement” weather, for which we knew how to handle – get out the quad and pop wheelies in it! It doesn’t snow much here in the winter, and it certainly doesn’t snow much in February when it does. It was a nice treat for the weekend. We snapped a few photos while out “clearing” the yard, check them out.

Look for announcements soon regarding our sponsors for the year. After taking some time off last year we are looking forward to getting back into the swing of things!

Mowed the lawn a little too.

You have to pop wheelies…everywhere.

Maxxis makes the best tires for all conditions – even deep snow!

After a 450 mile battle with riders, dust, and heat, the Quad75Dezert team finished the 2012 Baja 500 in second place, just two and half minutes behind the 5a Yamaha team. Several competitors suffered heat stroke during this event, but the top finishers pushed through to come out on the podium. Read More

Quad75Dezert once again is in the desert of Mexico, preparing for the 44th Annual San Felipe 250. This year’s race is 248.64 miles and has an 11 hour time-limit to complete. Motorcycles begin leaving the line at 6:00am Saturday March 10th, in 30-second intervals. Trucks begin leaving the line 4 hours after the last motorcycle has left.

Jamie heading out to pre-run his section.

This year’s course has some never-before-used sections as the track will go through 3 new washes. This will add a little to the typical challenges of Baja, and participants riding those sections will need to take extra care during pre-running to make notes and learn the terrain. For Quad75Dezert, most of these sections will be taken on by rider Jorie Williams, who says, “The new sections are fun, but there’s not a lot of room for creativity.” Read More

Quad75Dezert headed south November 10th for the 44th Baja 1000. SCORE International would have nearly 300 entries from 16 countries,including entries from 34 states. The course was approximately 692 miles this year, combining the San Felipe 250 and Baja 500 courses, which made it one of the roughest tracks entrants had ever seen. Quad75Dezert conquered small and large adversities throughout the day to win their class and finish 2nd overall for ATVs, securing their Class 24 championship as well as the ATV Overall championship. The race was held November 19th. Read More

The team will be testing the race bike this weekend! We’ll have photos from the process, but in the meantime check out a few team photos from our rider support party at Pro Caliber in Vancouver (Procaliber.com)! And part of our new video – http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=699074212903

One of our pit crew members, Mary McHugh, took these with her phone while she was with us. More photos to come as well as a race report later.
