PCI THE “OFFICIAL RACE RADIO”
WILL COVER AVE/BAJA PROMOTIONS
FOR YET ANOTHER FULL SEASON
California City, CA – January 8, 2016 – Lou Peralta, head of AVE/BP announced today that PCI Race Radios will once again be the “Official Radio Communications” Company for the entire 2016 season, including the PURE UTV Series, the SuperCourse Series and the newest events in the AVE/BP’s schedule, the “Drone GP Series.”
PCI has long been a sponsor and supporter of AVE’s and BP’s racing event since the organization started back in 1986. One of the first calls Lou Peralta made on behalf of Baja Promotions was to the then fairly unknown, Bob Steinberger the “Weatherman.” Bob took on the challenge and for a number of years was the voice over the radio for all of Baja Promotions events, then in SCORE and HDRA, plus others.
Today, no major off-road event takes place without the “Weatherman” being there to assist not only the organization itself but every single racer, whether that race team is using PCI communication products or not. You do not run a race without the “Weatherman” being on-air helping control the entire organized mayhem. Bob has been know to stay up twenty-four hours plus during one of the long races, making sure everyone is accounted for before hitting the sack. Today he still manages to make most races and has developed excellent assistants to handle races communications.
Peralta commented; “I don’t think I’ve ever put on an event without PCI being involved in some way. Even when we started the Off-Shore Series for personal watercrafts, The Weatherman was there several times to help, especially the first two Long Beach-2-Catalina & Back Off-Shore races, we’ve always used his equipment.”
PCI will post the following Contingency plan for the 2016 PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES:
- pay 1st Place only in ALL Classes
- $50 credit towards and PCI retail product r service
- Racer must use PCI decals on both sides of vehicle, in a visible location
- Racer cannot run competitor’s decals (Rigged, Parker Pum per, etc.)
- Racer must register ith Sanctioning body’s Tech/Contingency
- Must meet all requirements
- Call PCI or e-mail Maura at [email protected] to claim award
Race Director, Alan Bell quipped, “Heck, PCI has been with us longer than I’ve been married and I’ve been married several times!” You can visit PCI’s website for great reace deals at www.pciraceradios.com or call them at 800.869.5636.
The 2016 PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES consists of six events, from which the top five finishers in points by race are used to compete for the Overall and Class Championships.

2016 PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES
California City, CA – January 5, 2016 – Lou Peralta, owner of AVE/BP RACING announced today that Baja Designs has signed to become the “Official Light Source” Manufacturer for the 2016 PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES.

They are as pumped-up as we are about our series and not only producing the products that most racers would love to have, but they, too, will field several teams to compete throughout the year.”
Race Director Alan Bell also said, “Besides these guys are racers. They know what the racers want so there’s no bull behind what they offer. They test, they race and then they make it available to the racers. That’s a good comination to have.”
Baja Designs will be attending every event of the series and will be on-site not only to offer great deals for their lights to racers but they are also committed to posting contingency throughout the year. Here is their Contingency Program:
Contingency payout for winner of each class noted during the season.

For Twenty-plus years Baja Designs has engineered revolutionary ways to stay at the forefront of motorcycle and automotive lighting. The first product developed was a Dual Sport kit that made a pure off road motorcycle minimally street legal. This intimate knowledge of motorcycle electrical capabilities led to a natural evolution to engineer the first HID motorcycle race light. Owner/Lead engineer Alan Roach and Product Development Engineer Stephen “Tex” Mitchell were avid Baja 1000 motorcycle racers who were able to fine tune a motorcycle’s limited light optics to maximize rider comfort, speed and safety. As a result, BD Lights have won every professional and amateur motorcycle and ATV Baja 1000 class for over 15 years.
Racers can visit their site at: https://www.bajadesigns.com/led-light-bars-led-lights where they offer technical support, discuss the “science of lighting” and of course sell you their great product. And by the way, if you are looking to hook up with a great company as a dealer representative, they are up for that as well.
The 2016 PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES consists of six events, from which the top five finishers by racer are used to compete for the Overall and Class Championships. All races will be in Southern California, primarily in California City, CA at the Alta Vista Ranch. Although we have been informed that there may be a mid-year surprise of a different race location. Just saying.

BOLD STEP FOR AVE/BP RACING
BUT “IT MUST BE DONE”
California City, CA – Ave/Baja Promotions took the first step (some may call it a bold one, while others may say foolish) in announcing that the entire 2016 PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES will be a totally GPS-based series, meaning that all courses will be marked by GPS only, with little or no actual visual course markings on the course. This is something that race promoter, Lou Peralta has been touting for years, trying to encourage the “big boys” to do likewise, but to no avail, until 2016, that is.
Peralta was contacted to explain further; “I believe that time has come for every promoter to start thinking that way, and certainly for us. Last year we were saddled with what I would call (to be gentile about it), “stinkers” who seemed to come out Friday nights and disturb our courses. These creeps could be anyone, but we have our own suspicions of locals who may drink a bit too much and then try to create mayhem. Environmental Zealots, I call them. We can’t go on and continue to put on great and safe events without trying to mitigate the situation.” Peralta concluded.
To be entirely correct, Peralta has been using GPS and giving the courses to the racers for years. AVE/Baja Promotions has reported that perhaps as many as 95% of the racers in the series already use the GPS file that AVE/Baja Promotions provides. Those who fit into AVE/Baja Promotions’ classes of “Bone Stock 1000” and “Bone Stock 900” – both Sportsman classes with mostly entry level racers, will have to learn to use GPS quickly.
According to Race Director, Alan Bell, “We will lay out the course weeks in advance and make sure to go through it several times, and then release the actual race course to those who have signed up, at least one weekend before the event. Thusly, we are prepared to give racers more than just a day to pre-run, which, in the past has been restricted to only on the Friday before the race. To be sure we have to improve our GPS plotting to make sure everyone can read the course. Moreover, we now know that the second most important person in the team will be the “Navigator” because it will be up to the “Navigator” to help the racers stay on course.”
Peralta also added, “I believe now that the task of the “Navigator” is as important as that of the “Driver” in the team, both Racers and Navigators will earn points towards class and overall points championships.”
Racers will now have a whole week to pre-run but only if they are signed up for the event. We’ve also learned that AVE/BP Racing will, nonetheless, have some course marking along the way to reassure racers that they are on the course. What type of markers, has not yet been announced, but according to Peralta, “They will be unmistakable and easy to find and unique to us.”
A new era, at least for AVE/Baja Promotions, begins in 2016, on how their courses will be laid out. Peralta was asked what effect he thinks this new move will have on his entries? He stated, “I will have either stepped on my ‘Johnson’ big-time or might have made the right decision, at least for our races here. I believe it will help tremendously our series because it will avoid the shenanigans we have been encountering here in the past six to eight months. We have to do something. I’ve also been suggesting this to other promoters to do likewise because I can see where they could solve a lot of their problems, especially when dealing with heavy spectator traffic. I know BITD and SNORE and MORE and others have one set of problems while SCORE has others. This GPS racing, I think will help.”
The 2016 AVE/Baja Promotions Series begins January 23, with the running of the PURE #1 – “150” in Cal City. Other dates are March 19, April 23, July 16 (a night race), September 10 and the PURE #6 “200” – October 22, all in California City, at the AVE Ranch, 138th & Proctor.
The best five (5) out of the six finishes will be computed for year-end championships in the Overall points and by Class p[oints championships. One requirement; a racer must compete in at least three (3) events to qualify for championship titles.
Two other UTV races are also on AVE/BP schedule but do not count for the Series points. Instead, they count for the ENSENADA CUP. These two events will run in Punta Banda, Baja California, Mexico, inside Ejido Coronel Esteban Cantu. The dates are; May 28 and October 1. Course marking and GPS will be used for that event, which runs in combination with the Motorcycle and ATV Gran Prix events also on the same date, but at different times
