eric3579 says...

Mexican journalist Alfredo Alvarez, reported on his website that the shooting stemmed from a confrontation between active members of the Arellano Felix Cartel (CAF) and the Sinaloa Cartel.

According to local reports, the group of alleged hit men were targeting a member of the CAF cartel who was being investigated by the U.S. for drug trafficking. He was reportedly among those killed Saturday.

KAMAZ Dakar Truck's Insane FOS Run

Mookal says...

Yep, the name comes from Dakar, Senegal (In Africa), when the race, the Dakar Rally, was originally ran from Paris to Dakar. It's now held in South America, yet retains the legacy name.

These are specially built off road vehicles, Kamaz is the manufacturer in this example. Like many races, there are different classes of trucks that compete in the Rally, alongside dirt bikes, quads and cars.

It's basically Mad Max and I encourage folks to check out highlights of it, or the similar Baja 1000 race.

Interestingly, the truck class includes support trucks that don't actually compete, but assist competitors stranded in the middle of nowhere.

This Red Bull sponsored Monster (energy drinks!) has right around 1000hp and a 265 gallon fuel tank if I recall correctly. Road trip!

Is Dakar the name of the model (type) of the truck?

(edit) I see Dakar seems to be the name of the race and the city?

Formula Offroad Iceland, Akureyri 2016!

I used to do desert racing (before I broke my back and wallet), and this makes Baja look like a flat track race. It was awesome in person...I think we were the only non Icelandic people there. Good times, good times.

Recoil 2: Unleashed in Ensenada

newtboy says...

It didn't look like anyone or anything was hurt or damaged. I would bet that Ensenada was happy to have this filmed there, free publicity (and they need all they can get after the hurricane). It looked way safer than when they run the Baja 500-1000 through there.
Those 'disadvantaged peoples' likely were also paid for the privilege (the town anyway).
Sometimes you should because you can...sometimes you should to learn if you can. My only issue was that the 10 seconds on the beach means hours and hours of cleaning and changing fluids for the crew. He should have stopped at the stairs with the bikini girls.

So I guess Monster Energy has a new moto?: "Endangering the lives and property of disadvantaged peoples". Just because you can doesn't mean you should. But hey, bikinis make it all good right?

If you live in California and have never done the drive down to and through Baja, you should-Gorgeous and surprisingly free of people and plenty of places to camp out in seclusion, surf, eat, and it's cheap.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God said, Let there be the Baja 1000: and there was Baja 1000.

6 And God said, Let there be cameras: and there were cameras.

7 And God said, Let there be tripods: and there were tripods.

8 And God said, Actually, fuck it, I take back the tripods.
