Streetwise supporting JT Taylor in running the 2017 NORRA Mexican 1000

JT Taylor will be taking the Powertank / Rugged Radio Ultra4 car back down to Mexico to compete in the five day 2017 NORRA Mexican 1000 Race.  JT has participated in this race every year since it was reintroduced in 2010, winning the Ultra4 class in 2016.  “This will be the second year I have driven the entire race myself,” said JT Taylor. “but with the new structure of splitting day 1 into 2 days, it makes it much more doable.” The OG13 King of the Hammers racer was last behind the wheel of his car last year at the Mike’s Peak Hill climb, where he won first in his class and fifth overall. JT Taylor #13 will be running in the Evolution 4×4 Class, where he will drive the entire race himself, switching out co-drivers, Doug Nagy and Terry Madden, during certain legs of the race.  In 2015 JT Taylor was the driver in the #13 Powertank Pioneer Bug where he placed 1st in class.            

The 2017 NORRA Mexican 1000 is a five day, five stage race. “This really is the most fun race of the year. The format is a blast and racing with the vintage cars makes it that much cooler. The saying is true, it is the happiest race on earth,” said JT Taylor.  Sunday April 23rd they will start in Ensenada and go to San Felipe.  Day 2 they will continue to Bahia de Los Angeles.  Day 3, April 25th, racing continues to Loreto and on Day 4 it continues down the coast to La Paz with the final Day 5 taking them to the tip of Baja at San Jose del Cabo to the finish celebration.
