They will ride a Kawasaki KX450F prepared by Bob Bell of Precision Concepts. Precision Concepts tuned bikes have reached the checkers first in numerous Baja races.

The THR Motorsports Team:

Shane Esposito, fresh off of his 2011 Vegas to Reno win, has a long track record of desert wins on both sides of the border.
Robby Bell has filled his resume with numerous Baja 500 & 1000 wins as well as being a formidable WORCS racer.
Hengeveld, a Monster Energy supported rider, is also no stranger to victory as a seven-time overall winner of the Baja 1000 as well as numerous other triumphs.

Garrison is the youngest member of the team, but he is a proven winner, both in motocross and WORCS.

Bell and Hengeveld each know the path to victory, having ridden with the coveted “1x” plate of the Baja champion.

The THR Motorsports Bike:

The fuel injected Kawasaki KX450F is a solid and versatile platform. It has won offroad races from the deserts of the west to the mud and trees of the GNCC series. Bob Bell believes that its strong power and light weight give it a distinct advantage for this year’s event, which will feature one of the roughest courses in recent memory.

THR Motorsports also supports a Class 1 car driven by Monster supported Mike Childress, who recently won the SNORE Mint 400 amongst other successes.
