Do you remember Glen Harris and the California Gold-Team Mazda off road racing team? They raced some desert races, but mostly the Mickey Thompson MTEG stadium races. They were a force to be reckoned with! Do you have any photos you would like to post?

Did you know that there was a few AMC Pacers that were raced off road in the 70′s? Have you read our article on the AMC Ramblers that raced in the 1969 Baja 500? There is a ton of photos and information about these cars and others on the Class 6 thread on Race Dezert.

Off Road Action reader Rod Hafner sent us this great photo of the Condor off road racing motorhome. He took the photo in the 1969 or 1970 Mint 400. I have seen a few photos of the Condor, but have very little information. This is probably the best photo that I have seen. Can any of you tell us about this oddity? According to this photo, Wes Thomas and Don Bass drove it. I assume that Condor sponsored it? What running gear did it use?

Earlier this month, we wrote a short article about 3 Ford Edsel that used to race in off road desert races in the 60′s though to the 80′s. With the Swift’s racing their restored Ford Edsel off road race car in the NORRA Mexican 1000 this week, we have been coming across more photos for your pleasure. Thank you to Class 3 Racing.com for most of the photos in this post. So what do you think? Personally, I think it is so ugly it is kewl!

The NORRA Mexican 1000 vintage off road race is on this week, so expect to see a lot of photos of vintage desert race vehicles over the next few days! This first group of photos are from this post on Race Dezert, along with this and this one from Off Road Mexico. You will recognize a lot of the vehicles below from other Desert Racing related articles we have posted on Off Road Action in the past.
