Baja
As you know , sponsors are th e life
blood of many a ra ce effort . In the
recent Baja Int erriacional , the fifth
place Open bik e was incorrectly listed
as spons ored by PJ 1. T he correct
sponsor was Long Beach Honda , a
lon g time supporter of off-roa d event s,
with th e bike prepared by noted tuner
Bill Bell . A Baj a effo rt is both
ex pe nsive and time co ns u m ing :
sponso r recogn ition shou ld be a n
im porrant result of that effor t.
