Searching the web here is some more info on Mr. Overcast with links with the scams he tries to pull! ENJOY!!! These are taken from the baja.net forums!!

Watch out for this clown, his various aliases and business entities and scams.


Mike Overcast has taken the prize as being the one person "most banned" from Baja and Off-road oriented websites worldwide.

His many aliases include "Gary Newsome", "Joe Martinez", "Cabo 500", "Speed Mex", "Janice Gilmore" (fitting), "Hollister", "andymeyer", "Garner racing", "aj racing", "Baja Brad" etc.

He is the sole operator of bajaracingnews.com. bajasafari.blog.com and bajasafari.com.

Overcast has a patent modus operandi of slamming anything and anyone that he cannot become or will not bow to his demands.

Under the pen name "Gary Newsome" on the Blog "Baja Racing News" he has attacked some of the most contributory and influential people in the Off-Road Motorsports to include:

Sal Fish
Bob Steinberger (Weatherman)
Cameron Steele
Klaus Rausch (RDC)

....as well as many others, to include myself - in his laughable article all he could find fault with was my posting of passing times at Ojos Negros at the Baja 500, communications that Bob Steinberger acknowledged and recorded and a protocol that Bob and I discussed at contingency the day prior.

Overcast, his aliases and his Web Blog have a long history of plagiarism, unfounded personal attacks and most of all, threats of bogus and concocted legal action to any challenger. It is all one ball of putrid manure at the hands of a deranged, egotistical lunatic.

Anything and everything involved with Mr. Overcast and his pen names and aliases should be widely avoided at all costs.

It looks like Overcast was trying to extract money from US racers by calling a race promoted by Baja Locals "The Baja Sur 500" his race of the name "Cabo 500". The Baja promoters are calling Overcast on his scam.
