ActionfigureJoe Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I recall the year Johnny Campbell entered Dakar. He’d won numerous times at Baja. He said nothing could prepare a person for that Dakar race. Johnny was probably the best desert rider ever. He placed 8th, but 1st for a privateer that year. I think it was his only try at Dakar. Tough race. I’m thinking it’s even worse now with terrorism and shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have set booby traps for the racers for years in the Dakar...terrorism had nothing to do with it....its also prevalent at Baja... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baja has always had the problem with bandits and booby traps. Nothing new about that. The Dakar was cancelled in 2008 because of terrorist threats. It’s route/location is now picked carefully to avoid terrorist situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
