> I ran them all (Pony, B-100, Gamblers, BBORR, Norc, SORC and La Carrera) and would  put the Mexican Road Race / La Carrera as most challenging and The SORC as the the most challenging ORR in US….I never had a ZF issue as I never checked the temps 😂😂
> 
> Now the La Carrera outside Ensenada had Mexican girls on the corners flashing drivers on race day and then add up to 1,000 foot drop offs on sides of the  hills….and a LA Pantera racer who was killed there a couple years earlier. 
> 
> The day before the ORR there was the La Bufadora Hill Climb. How well you did in your class on the hill climb  determined where you started in the grid. 
> 
> And the fastest car and driver in each class won period……The night night before the race there was lots of FREE Tecate Mexican beer. Found out later the Mexican hot shoes paid for that FREE beer to get as many Gringo’s drunk as possible the night bebore the race. 
> 
> Luckily I drank vino which is why I won my Vintage Class. 😉Yes, a Vintage Class!!. I loved the Mexican racers until the Cartels started shooting each other making it harder then dodging Mexican Girls.
> 
> Dick Drenske went down to Mexico with me and he was going to co-pilot with me but he got so drunk the night before on the free Beer and had such a bad hang over the  next morning he decided to sit out the race.
