Jim Ober from Trackside Photo sent me a selection of photos and notes of Baja Bob Gordon’s racing history to share with our viewers. Bob was recently inducted into the Off Road Motorsports Hall of Fame earlier this year so I also included the ORMHOF video which includes allot of great vintage race footage from his racing career.
