2026, King of the Hammers, Desert Challenge
2 Years of Hard Work, 2 Hours to Finish
Finished 5th in class.
After the Baja 1000, the 4runner was totaled. The front fell off, the back bent in four directions, the frame was twisted, and the engine was clogged with sand. 4x4 was smoked too. Two years of late nights, sleepless side hustles and networking brought this 4runner back from scrap.
The Desert Challenge was our test, the proof that this 4runner could be raised from the ashes. It was too short and too sweet, but the 4runner is back in the race.

2023, SCORE, Baja 1000
Tactics win Battles, but Logistics Win Wars.
Did Not Finish
In our first year of racing, GMR tackled the longest, non-stop desert race in North America in twenty-three years. 1210 mile long race. We crashed at Race Mile 366.6 with mechanical failures. For all the prep we did, replacing 25% of the truck with spare parts wasn’t gonna happen. 30 miles deep in the mountains of Baja Sur, we dragged the totaled truck back to safety, and then the long drive home began. The damage was widespread and catastrophic. It would take us two years to rebuild.
But hey, we started. We built a race car, a team, and actually raced in the Baja 1000!

2023, STORR, Cinco De Baja 300
Crawl, Walk, Run
Finished 2nd in class.
In May of 2023, we attempted our first race. With a surprising turn of events, we finished second place. In that moment, we realized we don’t suck. This gave Nathan and the team at Good Mayhem Racing the confidence to go for the Baja 1000 later that year.
Only time could tell, that confidence was misplaced.
