Marc and Kurt kicking up first dust in Mathilda
On a cold, clear day outside of Jean, Nevada, Marc and Kurt light up the tires on Mathilda just a few hours after Canguro Racing took possession of our new Class V VW. 11 short months until the Baja 1000 and we couldn’t be more excited about the adventure in front of us. The powerline road may not have been the best place to learn the dynamics and performance characteristics of a brand new vehicle as each pole cast a literal and figurative shadow of fear over the day. Mathilda would definitely lose if the two were to do battle. Actually maybe it was a good thing. It kept us on our toes and our toes more on the brake pedal than the throttle.
