Jon Minor has been busy this last year racing under the Team MS banner. I asked Jon why he was interested in running the team logo and he answered that he has been fortunate in his life and he wanted to do something that would help people. We need more people like Jon in the world.

Team MS/David Bailey/Pro-Tec (264x) completed the Baja 250 last weekend, the first step in our goal of completing the 500. It proved to be a good idea to use the 250 as a precursor to the 500 to familiarize us with the logistics of racing in Baja. We learned that racing in Mexico is a whole different ballgame. The ordeal was a very exciting 5 days for our team which consisted of my two sons Dana and Cody and I. The three of us drove the couple hundred miles down to Ensenada on Wednesday pulling our toybox with our race XR650R and CRF250X pre-runner. We completed our pre-running on Thursday; on Friday we signed in, went through Tech and rested. On Saturday we raced, the boys covered the majority of the distance, I cruised to the finish. We enjoyed all the finishing activities provided by Tecate Beer and then collapsed in bed. Our primary racing goal was to finish, our secondary goal was to finish in the top 10 in our class. We finished 22nd, a little disappointing. Our time was off by about an hour because of air filter problems in a silt bed and shock problems because of a hard get-off by my oldest son Dana. All in all it was a fun, exciting endeavor, we enjoyed some beautiful scenery, a chance to mingle with the locals and some of the best riding imaginable. We endured the border crossing and arrived home on Sunday.
