Check out the Chevy 2500. Here are the pictures from start of the build, totally stock, to mean lean veggie oil burning baja machine! Our objective was to build a truck using primarily production or bolt on parts that can withstand the punishing conditions of the Baja 1000 without sacrificing its ability to be a realistic daily driver that is comfortable, practical, efficient, and stylish. It must be at home equally serving as a Baja 1000 pit crew truck running full speed in the deserts of Mexico to catch up with and repair a Trophy truck; as it is pulling a large boat with four passengers to a fishing tournament 200 miles out of town. It must be more efficient, more powerful, and more environmentally friendly than stock. Finally, it should not require one drop of petroleum based fuel or oil, have less impact on the environment than it did at the start, and look great at any valet line.

Thanks to all the sponsors!

Coming Soon: We Return to The Baja 1000 in '07!
