SAN JOSE DEL CABO, Mexico — Team 603 has completed another NORRA's Baja 1000, bringing two cars across the finish line of 1,400-mile, six-day rally race down the Baja Peninsula last Thursday.
The Conway team of Chuck Sutton and Mike Petell in Car 603 in their fourth time at Baja had their best finish ever, coming in seventh in their class and 62nd overall. In the final day of the National Off-Road Racing Association race, they drove about 180 miles from La Paz to San Jose del Cabo. It was the shortest day of the race, and followed the longest at about 270 miles on Wednesday as they traveled from Lareto to La Paz.
