Updates!

I did a little cosmetic work around here. What do you think?

I also added a few new random images for the top and side. Hit refresh a few times…

I have a ton of pics to post from Wilbur and Lisa’s visit, those will have to wait a bit yet.

Rod Hall placed third in class in Baja, not too bad considering the H2 had only one or two races under its belt. Update: Sam didn’t co-drive this race though he was originally slated to, he helped drive chase. They started out strong, staying right with the rest of the class, but were delayed when they broke a suspension piece. They eased up a bit for the rest of the race. Now they’ve gotta look into how they can reinforce that suspension piece while staying in the stock class… Their teammate Chad Hall placed first driving the original Hummer, thats a vehicle Sam has worked on quite a bit in the past but hasn’t been in his shop lately, the new H2 has been keeping him busy.

 

More Sammy in Baja!

The Baja 1000 started this morning. I snagged a couple of pics out of the Off-Road.com photo gallery, they show the H2 waiting for the race to start in Ensenada on contingency row.

I’ll be following the coverage on Off-Road.com and will post anything interesting on Sam and his team as it comes by.

Wilbur, Lisa, Jake and Levi are going to be in town for the weekend, I’ll have plenty more pics to fill up the site.

 

Sammy in Baja

My brother Sam is in Baja this week to help Rod Hall International take team Hummer H2 across the Baja 1000 finish line.

Off-Road.com is following the race and has posted a pair of articles (1), (2) on team Hummer H2’s progress on taking a stock H2 and transforming it into a vehicle capable of finishing a grueling race like the Baja 1000. What they don’t tell you is that after the engineers were done with the H2 in Arizona it has been in Sam’s shop (in between races) getting outfitted with what Sam and the Halls (Rod, Chad and Josh) feel is necessary to win races.

Sam was in town showing off the race H2 for the SEMA show a few weeks back, I got to visit and snap a few pics of their race H2.
