ACART adds basic human aid training to their animal skill set.

ACART is Amador County’s Animal Response Team

During the Sand Fire, ACART established and operated a shelter for evacuated animals. It was there we realized there is not always someone to help if a human injury occurs.

ACART would like to thank Coyote Creek Training for conducting classes, testing and getting the ACART team certified for CPR, AED, First Aid, and Blood Borne Pathogens.

A Thank You also goes out to the American Legion Ambulance Service for use of their facilities.

If you would like to become a member of this highly trained and professional volunteer team, please contact us through our Web or Facebook pages or attend one of our meetings held the 2^nd Wednesday of every month in the training room at the American Legion Ambulance building.

NORRA's "Happiest Race on Earth" Takes Shape for 6th Annual General Tire Mexican 1000 Rally

- More Than 80 Pre-Registered Teams are Comprised Of

Legendary Names and Unique Machinery -

(Agua Dolce, Calif.): While winter still rages over much of the greater United States and Canada, for a special group fun-loving competitors, adventure seekers, crew members and families, the dream of spending a sun-filled week rallying down the Baja peninsula is starting to become reality.

For the past six years, the National Off Road Racing Association (NORRA) has set into motion a powerful yearning to enjoy a new motorsports passage of spring, and it appears 2015 won’t be an exception. While the 6th annual General Tire NORRA Mexican 1000 may be three months away, many of NORRA’s unique racing family are already making plans and prepping their two and four-wheel machinery.

Boyd Jaynes and co-driver Brian Godfrey will be piloting their revamped "Caballo Del Diablo" (The Devil Horse) at the 2015 General Tire NORRA Mexican 1000. Jaynes and Godfrey will be joined by an impressive line-up of early vintage Ford Broncos in Baja this year.

In keeping with NORRA tradition, official registration for the “Happiest Race on Earth” and NORRA’s new Cortez Rally Raid opened precisely at noon Pacific Standard Time on January 1, 2015. This year’s General Tire Mexican 1000 rally is scheduled to run from Ensenada, Baja, Mexico to the sands of Cabo San Lucas from April 25 – 29, 2015.

While new entries being submitted on a constant basis, the current list of 2015 competitors already includes some of the sport’s most notable superstars, including Walker Evans, Rod Hall, Larry Ragland, Brian Collins, Jimmy Smith, Michael Gaughan, John Swift, Mark Stahl, Randy Wilson, Clark Gable, Buddy Feldkamp, Brad Lovell, JT Taylor and many others.

Recognizable names, however, are only part of the annual NORRA Mexican 1000 story. As has been the case since the first event in 2010, the true heartbeat of this vintage-flavored on and off-road rally lies in adventurous men and women taking on a true “bucket” list event with a wide variety of trucks, sedans, dune buggies and motorcycles.

An early sentimental favorite is a three wheel 1985 Honda ATC entered by Brian Wilson, Craig Saxe and Tom LaJoie – otherwise known as “Dynamically Unstable Racing.” In reference to their rather unusual (and now illegal) choice of vehicle, their motto is in perfect keeping with the fun-filled spirit of NORRA. According to their entry form; “Three-wheelers are outlawed in the U.S., so why not race one in Baja?”

It's a mechanical flashback to the 1980s! Brian Wilson, Craig Saxe and Tom LaJoie will be racing this restored Honda three-wheel ATC at the 2015 General Tire NORRA Mexican 1000. The effort by team "Dynamically Unstable Racing" speaks to the very essence of the rally's fun-filled nature.

As was the case in 2014, leading the online registration process was veteran rally racer Dave Sykes, who will once again race his 1972 Ford/ Dodge hybrid race truck fondly referred to as the “Super Fodge.” Sykes will once again be entered in NORRA’s Vintage Open Truck

Sykes will run in NORRA’s popular Vintage Open Truck/SUV category that already includes seven entries. The Mexican 1000’s Vintage 108” Wheelbase 4x4 class (pre-1978) is also seeing strong early interest, with seven vintage Ford Broncos scheduled to take on the 1,200-plus mile adventure. Leading the motorcycle categories is the Modern Open Motorcycle/ATV class, with both KTM and Husqvarna-built bikes on the entry list.

“While we are expecting many, many more entries before we arrive in Ensenada for the Mexican 1000’s opening night welcome party, we are really excited about the fun and colorful group of race teams already signed-up,” explained NORRA President Mike Pearlman. “All of our guests have a great story to tell. NORRA's goal for 2015 is to communicate the tales of hospitality, competition, history and commoradire that separates this event from any other on the off-road landscape.”

The Mexican 1000 rally is building a growing reputation as one of the world’s most enjoyable and accessible motorsports adventures. Given that momentum, NORRA is also expecting to host a large contingent of national and international media, as well as various automotive and off-road industry VIPs.

In addition to General Tire, NORRA is also supported by General Tire, American Racing Wheel, Azunia Tequila, South Point Hotel and Casino, Walker Evans Racing, Bilstein Shocks, KC HiLites and MasterCraft/Impact Safety.

ABOUT NORRA

Beginning in 2010, the National Off Road Racing Association (NORRA) began promoting a rebirth of the NORRA Mexican 1000 rally. The unique off-road rally was co-created by promoter Mike Pearlman to consist of special stages (unlimited speed timed stages in the dirt) linked together by controlled speed liaison / transit sections (highway). The one-of-a-kind, once-a-year, four-day rally includes vintage off-road vehicles and motorcycles, as well as modern desert Rally Raid cars, pre-runner trucks, buggies and motorcycles.

Pearlman’s late father Ed and others established the first running of the NORRA Mexican 1000 off-road rally in November of 1967, which eventually became internationally recognized and evolved into the Baja 1000 in the mid-1970's.

The General Tire NORRA Mexican 1000 is supported by General Tire, American Racing Wheel, South Point Hotel Casino, Walker Evans Racing, Azunia Tequila, KC HiLites, Bilstein Shock Absorbers and Mastercraft/Impact Safety.
