Recently I have been contacted by Andrea Tomba. He asked me to help him out about a story Mike posted on his site. He wanted to use my site to tell his side of the story since this site is used to spill the truth about Mr. Overcast. So below is the story that was on Mike's site and then Andrea's response below it!!!

CABO 500 Sponsors ATRacing for 2008
CABO 500 Sponsors Andrea Tomba and ATRacing
The CABO 500 is sponsoring Andrea Tomba and ATRacing for the 2008 race season. Andrea ran into hard times recently, when the State Baja Sur taxes he was paying became so great, he no longer could keep his family small business going. Andreas ATRacing cant express their gratitude enough to the CABO 500 sponsor supporting us in 2008.
Andrea Tomba said, "The Governor of Baja Sur is corrupt and the rest of La Paz cannot be trusted". Thanks CABO 500 for bailing us out!
ATRacing would also like to welcome some new sponsors whom have joined us for this season: Laboratorios Armstrong took the step to run the first Super Motor Sports sponsorship Program this year through CABO 500. Also helping are SPARCO Race wear this year, as style and comfort go hand in hand in their products. OGIO Racing is also participating in this years race program, and we are happy to have their support this season.
The whole team currently has their hands full with getting ready for the Baja racing season. Everybody at Banda Race Fabrication are busy making some changes to the new addition to the ATR fleet, the ex-champion Class 6 FORD Bronco, previously raced by our friend Filli Diaz from Loreto. The truck is being fine tuned, and having some suspension changes, so that it will be ready to give our new driver Bert Tjeenk a chance to clench the victory in Class 6. Class 6 will be the team's main goal this season, with Andrea & Bert signing up as joint drivers in the Bronco, and Andrea will most probably pilot the truck in Short Course races whilst Bert will tame it in the Desert races.
The FORD Explorer known as "La Iguana" will be competing in Class 8 in most of the Championship races, so we will see two trucks sporting the ATR and its sponsor's colors this season. Russ, our ProBaja President, has also been working overtime, rebuilding a whole new website to make it more user friendly, and more attractive. It will be ready in a few months. We will be participating in the ProBaja Southern Baja Off Road Championship and State Association again this year.
There are two of the races that will be shared between both State Association and ProBaja, the 2008 Dos Mares CABO 500 and the CABO 500 in the Fall, so the turn out on these races is bound to be huge, so book your stay early!
We have also invested in a FORD Ranger CLASS 7 truck, which will be used for pre-running, but may also compete in some of the National Mexican races depending on their schedule. Our super nice wide open Offroad Cabo $100,000 race buggies are ready for you! Call us to book your tours at 619-251-9486 or eMail caboclub@cox.net

Baja Sur Blows Chunks with five destroyed race trucks at race
At the recent race in Baja South, Andrea Tomba blew his season by reportedly turning over his Explorer, when he totalled his trashed Explorer. Two more former American race trucks, destroyed in Mexico, by Pacenos.
Atr racing crash story
FROM OUR REPORTER AT THE RACE:
The report from the team: "Andrea was driving down a narrow straight away at around 85MPH, when it seems that the steering reducer broke, and they lost the control of the vehicle, flipping very hard and several times into the banks, first sideways before gathering inertia to continue end over end. As proof of the great fabrication of Banda Jr. Race Shop the cage remained intact and driver and co-driver were intact, however the truck suffered unrepairable damage. The chassis broke front and rear, broke the transmission, pushed engine into the cab, broke the front coilovers, both fuel intakes were ripped off, and a LOT of bent tubing."
Another report: "Just outside El Rufugio, there was head problems with the Ford race motor, the Class 8 Explorer slowed to a crawl and Tomba started partying with the locals watching the race, thinking he was out. The problem was fixed after x beers and on a straight section at great speed, Tomba at 80 miles an hour, turned upside down, a very bad wreck, the truck wasted. Tomba and his co-driver, not hurt. But, it was obvious after the motor problems, Andrea was drunk when the crash hit him."
The former Class 1 Steve Barry rig was also destroyed, the frame bent to hell and totaled motor and tranny. These were two notable destructions out of five reported bad crashes. With Tom Bradley out of the race season, the race teams in southern Baja are running out.
From La Paz:
Pepe Lopez
FYI... their were Pictures attached to this story to show the damage to the truck but I could not attach them (damn 2002 computer) but you can probably check them out on Mike's site.
Here is Andrea's side of the story about this!!!!!
It is sad that anyone can feel the need to lie and distort posted newsletters, especially when these lies are really detrimental to a race team’s efforts, and even worse when these can damage a person’s image in ones local community. I have been living in Southern Baja for over 15 years, and am very grateful to the local community to have welcomed me with open arms, making me one of their own, as well as various government bodies, whom not only I work with on an almost daily basis on a professional basis, but whom also do an enormous effort to support the local off road activity. Lies such as those posted in these articles do nothing but harm people involved, however fortunately the source has become so know globally that there really isn’t a need for a explanation.
And if Cabo 500 sponsored ATRacing, where is the Cabo 500 presence on our vehicles? Or even better, where is our check??
I don’t think that there is anything wrong with people having disillusional dreams of greatness, however please do not have them on other people’s expense.
So a few truths:
ATRacing is not sponsored or has any affiliation to CABO 500
Andrea Tomba has never expressed anything negative about local government.
In the race where Andrea suffered the crash, the Class 8 never broke down prior to the crash ( although the Class 6 truck and never continued), and at no moment did Andrea stop, or drink before crashing. Again, I really can’t understand why anyone would want to say something so low, when loosing a race vehicle is an expensive and tough reality for a race team, especially when you have a co-driver who also has to suffer an accident, why dream up something about drinking and driving?
I understand that some people feel that lies and embezzlement is part of their daily business, and I guess that is a choice that each person makes, however if this is your M.O. ( in this case modus operatis) why would you want to do so at the cost of other people’s hard work or effort?

Enough is Enough mike!!!
In Mikes current story about the Wilson Class 1 car hitting and killing a spectator at the SCORE San Felipe 250 earlier this year, He quotes post from RDC that make it look like the comments made were after the spectator got killed. The comment From Bob Bowers on RDC says " Good work Boys were proud of you" Were made after the race when the Wilsons crossed the finish line.
Mike, A race team can't be held liable for killing a spectator during a race when the person crosses the race course during a race (especially at Zoo Road) when pretty much most of the time they are drunk and can't stand up straight. Another thing about Bob's avatar is he had the bloody knuckles before that post was ever made and was not trying to make a comment with the picture.
another thing Mike is WHAT IS THE POINT OF POSTING THIS STORY IF YOU HAVE A QUOTE FROM A EYEWITNESS!!!!
From Eyewitness: "I was just a few meters. may be 40 mtrs. From the accident at Race Mile 55 aprox. I saw this guy trying to cross the road and he was hit, it for the 1rst class 1 #109, may be the car did not saw this guy, definitely was not the racer car's fault, but I was an eye witness."
Then you have another quote just below that with this statement.....
No denial from anyone has been received as of today, Saturday, June 27, 2009 Since March 17, 2009 no denials. In one interview with a seasoned American desert off-road guy, he said the victim "deserved it".
NO ONE DESERVES TO DIE MIKE, NO ONE!!!!If your gonna quote someone Mike put who said it or else it is a completely false or made up quote!!! I know you want to make race teams that don't like you or have made comments about look bad but that means your gonna have to write a story about everyteam out there. No one likes you mike Except maybe your son!!!
We all wish you would catch swine flu and never be seen or heard from again. You are not wanted in our sport. You bring our sport a bad name and you have taken money from people for all the wrong reasons and not what you said it was for. You have taken money from companies and racers without anything in return and everything you have done online has been linked and kept track of on this site!
I have gotten in contact with everyone you have quoted and posted about in your stories for the past couple of months and have gotten some great emails back but some people don't want to give you the attention and have asked for me to not quote them and I now know you have another alias as Joe Martinez from what I have been told in a email I got back!!! So Mike you might want to start making sure the stories you are posting are backed up by actual quotes cause i will check them!!!

Once again Mr. Overcast has nothing better to do but keep updating untrue stories!!!!!
Once again Mr. Overcast is redoing old stories saying UPDATE in them when actually there has been no real update!!
HERE IS THE STORY ON HIS SITE!!!!
NOW! Currie Enterprises couldn't care less if Bryant Layton rips off the CF charity. From an email from the company, they know the charges and dont Give A Squat.
"No comment", is all 'Lucky' from 'Scam Scene' can muster, with the established facts that Bryant Layton has not denied, he attempted to use non-profit solicitations to fund his motorsports fun on a major radio broadcast, last week in San Diego. And his Baja 1000 in 2006 is also suspect.
Lucky and Currie Enterprises may not care about the false solicitations. Hey, its racing! At least these scumbags are consistent. Who cares if they rip-off a not for profit!?
The Currie Enterprises sponsored Lucky media show will showcase Bryant Layton, again. Layton could have produced any evidence of support from the CF people, for his recent void solicitations. He hasn't even answered the charges of fraud.
Confirmed, Currie Enterprises couldn't care less, that the scumbags they are sponsoring, support the fraudulent solicitations of Bryant Layton, their off-road reporter. Laughable. But, common in the off-road industry.
All the while, the Layton Racing solicitations mentioning the'Cystic Fibrosis Foundation' have been found to be unauthorized at best and fraudulent, at worst. All depending on whether Bryant Layton collected any monies from the lies and intended to keep all the monies.
Even Bryant Laytons Baja 1000 2008 Cystic Fibrosis Non-Profit Solicitation and collections of funds at very least was, "Highly Flawed". This conclusion from an experienced racer and committed CF non-profit money fundraiser.
That brings up KCEO in Carlsbad California. The "highly flawed" Bryant Layton CF fundraising that scammed dollars back in 2008, was supported by the FCC license holders. KCEO has a history of allowing scammers on their public airwaves. Hey, just pay 'em and they'll let anyone pimp o'scam! KCEO has a history, check out this scam.
Anyone affiliated with Bryant Layton supports ripping off Cystic Fibrosis and has no regard for not-for-profit efforts.
I have done several rebuttal Stories about this topic and he just can't let it go even though I have contacted people in the story and have their emails still to prove it! What is the reason for all this Mike. ARE YOU BORED??? For once right something positive about our sport instead of once again trying to bash the people that make this sport for what it is!!!
You can check posts below this about Bryant Layton and how he is involved with Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the support he has done for it and also the comment I got from Scott from Speed Scene is also in my last story! I will write Currie tonight ( i should have done that when he updated this bullshit a second time) But I have a real job outside of this so I have limited time to keep up with his bullshit and rebuttal it! I won't let you put people in the wrong light anymore Mike!!

Once again Mr. Overcast is stealing pictures and claiming they are his!!!
If you happen to glance at bajaracing news He has a couple of pictures near the top of his page!
The screen shot on the left is from his page!!!
He took the pictures from this page.. http://www.race-dezert.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62369&page=2
After taking the pictures from Race Dezert he then put his Mark on them which means they are his with out giving credit to the actual person (who did not give him permission)! Mike is using pictures from cancinoj. The pics that cancinoj took are the ones of the Riviera Chase truck with Rob Mac and the one picture with the dead bird in the grill. I am still trying to track down who took the one of the MX guy on the beach. PLEASE PEOPLE WATERMARK YOUR PICTURES SO THIS GUY CAN NOT CLAIM THEM AS HIS OWN!!!!
I hope Mr. bullshit Overcast is not at a place I am at cause I will point him out and let everyone know who he is!
If you happen to know who took the pic of the MX rider you can contact me on RDC under the name Cadwell.

More Bullshit being spewed Over on Baja Racing news!!!!
After Checking what is happening on Baja racing news I saw a article about Bryant Layton and this is what it was about......
Fraud Alert posted for Bryant Layton over non-profit solicitations
Bryant Layton needs to cough up some answers to a national non-profit, over accusations of Bryant Layton scamming off-road business for his own racing ventures. Layton, who claims to be an "off-road racer" and "media person", has never won a race or even gotten close. But, he is using other peoples money for his fun.
Possibly by a fraudulent non-profit solicitation.
A San Diego radio station may have perpetrated the fraudulent non-profit solicitation. The national non-profit is now on the alert for the operation. The FCC has stringent guidelines on such solicitations. The station is owned by Salem Communications, Scott Hunter at 4880 Santa Rosa Road in Camarillo, California. Calls to the station office went unanswered.
The radio station staff and Layton refused to provide any contact information for the non-profit solicitation for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation had no contributions from a "Bryant Layton" and the foundation said, "until Mr. Layton proves his taking monies in the name of the foundation, we prefer he not use our name."
Baja Racing News.com
Here is the article...
Friday, October 24th, 2008.
Issue 43, Volume 8.
Soon after his birth in 1987 Alex Ramirez-Lawritson was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (also known as mucoviscidosis, or CF for short).
A hereditary disease that affects mainly the lungs and digestive system, CF causes progressive disability, thick mucus production and a less competent immune system, resulting in frequent infections.
He lost his battle of a lifetime on Dec. 8, 2007, four days before his 20th birthday.
“Alex was our diehard, all-American, flag-bearing family pit-crew member,” said Bryant Layton, owner/driver of Layton Race Team of Wildomar. “He left our team in a very short period of time – snap, like that. We didn’t know what to do. It was so quick.”
“We really didn’t know anything about cystic fibrosis; all we knew was that Alex had health issues,” Layton added. “We later found out that a cure for CF could have been possible within his lifetime. Alex and 30,000 others diagnosed with CF, along with their families, shouldn’t have to suffer in pain.”
“The Alex Project is all about Alex and how we plan to never let him be forgotten. We want him remembered forever,” Layton firmly stated. “I keep reminding people that it’s not about me.
“Alex’s goal in life and ultimate dream was to race the Baja 1000 and finish in a limited class Jeep Speed vehicle. That’s all Alex talked about.
“So, out of our love for Alex, we’re going to make his dream come true and take him in spirit on a memorial ride – ashes, American flag graphics and all.
“We usually race this race in a class 1 car with all the comforts of advanced suspension [and a] powerful motor to plane on top of the terrain. It’s a cushy ride. We’re leaving the class 1 Orange County Pools car at home.”
The fundraiser
“Our team and volunteer sponsors from the racing industry are building the Alex Project Jeep Speed class car from the ground up to debut at the Baja 1000,” said Layton. “Everything from labor, materials, components and team supplies is being donated, with 10 percent of proceeds to go toward the CF Foundation, including cash contributions to the team.”
According to James Goodson, director of special events for the Orange County chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, “This fundraiser is legitimate. We’ve met with the race team and have partnered with them on their mission.”
“The [race] team doesn’t need to bring us lots of money,” Goodson continued. “What the CF Foundation needs is a whole new market for awareness. The motorsports community has been accelerating at this and we’re looking forward to gaining the necessary public awareness with the help of the Alex Project.”
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the leading organization devoted to curing and controlling cystic fibrosis.
Headquartered in Bethesda, MD, the foundation funds CF research, has more than 80 chapters and branch offices throughout the country and supports and accredits a nationwide network of more than 115 care centers, which provide vital treatments and other CF resources to patients and families.
From the fan front
“From phone calls we’ve received from people concerned about CF, it’s amazing how far they call from in the US,” said Layton. “We’ve gotten calls from people in Maine to Honolulu. They deeply regret, ‘I don’t have money to donate, but we’re so appreciative of your efforts and responsiveness for our family’s ongoing mission.’”
More team discussion
“I’m going to have to be really careful how I navigate by really slowing down my customary race pace to get a spec 10 inches of wheel travel to the finish line. [However],” Layton hooted, “this car will make it. We have to – not a doubt.”
“Eight of our team members will be taking turns on the duty of co-driving [in the passenger seat] the 280-horsepower vehicle throughout this year’s 634-mile course, starting and finishing on a loop at San Felipe up each mile marker in this order.”
The team’s already got their driving lineup: Richard Patterson from start to mile marker 40, John Patterson on a very technical section up to mile marker 147, Evan Sterling to mile marker 210, Heather Phan to mile marker 300, Mark Mason through the silt beds to mile marker 400, matriarch Debbie Patterson to mile marker 500, Shaun Oschner on the inland portion of mile marker 565 and patriarch Russ Patterson, per his insistence, the final co-driver.
“I’m the rented mule of the team,” Mark Mason boldly stated. “If this car gets stuck in the silt beds I’ll wrap a rope around me and pull Alex’s memorial car out with my bare hands.”
“Our team consultant and instigator, Cameron Steele, convinced us to let me solo-drive the entire race,” said Layton. “This has never been done in a Jeep Speed class car. I’m so screwed. Even Ivan ‘Ironman’ Stewart thinks we’re nuts to have a driver solo for what could be up to 40 hours in the driver’s seat.”
The national tour
“We’re currently working with Greg Adler at 4 Wheel Parts on a schedule over the next two years for the Alex Project CF awareness vehicle to visit all 62 of their retail locations across the United States,” said Layton.
Current sponsors include 4 Wheel Parts, 4130 Clothing, Alpine Star, Amsoil Lubricants, Bully Dog, Baja Fool, Barnett Racing Products, DanZio Performance, Brian Deegan, Desert Assassins, Gibson Exhaust, HJC Helmets, Jaz Performance Products, Ricky Johnson’s Perris Raceway, Inland West Video, K&N Engineering, Locos Mocos, Metal Mulisha, MME Aluminum, Orange County Pools, PAC West Motorsports, PCI Race Radios, PB Racing, Regan Construction, Rockstar Energy Drink, SignTech, Cameron Steele, T&J Performance, Twisted Stitch Seats, Slime, Smith Designs, Termin-8 Pest Control and Totally Off Road Radio.

THE ALEX PROJECT – 1000 MILES FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS
Baja 1000 Racer Seeks to Raise Money
for Life-threatening Disease
(Ensenada – Baja California) - The team members of Layton Racing are happy to announce their entry in the 2008 SCORE Baja 1000, taking place November 20-23, 2008. This is the largest and most well known off-road race of its kind. Layton racing is also proud to announce that they are racing for a cause: Alex Ramirez-Lawritson and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Alex was a valuable member of the Layton Racing family. Alex was also very sick and lost his battle with cystic fibrosis on December 8, 2008, shortly before his 20th birthday. The members of Layton Racing count Alex as a family member and have all come together to race this Baja 1000 solely for Alex.
Bryant Layton of Layton Racing has taken on the challenge of driving solo in the Jeep Speed class. Bryant will be in the drivers seat for the entire 1000 miles, an extraordinary effort never attempted by any other Jeep Speed driver.
“This may be the most difficult 40 hours of my life, but the memory of Alex and his 20 year fight with cystic fibrosis will keep me going,” said Bryant Layton of Layton Racing.
The members of Layton Racing will switch places in the passenger seat throughout the race, however the team made a unanimous decision that only Alex’s name will be emblazoned on the passenger side of the Jeep Speed.
Layton racing has partnered with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the leading organization in the United States dedicated to cystic fibrosis research and care. Layton Racing has set up a website to encourage visitors to pledge donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in memory of Alex and to keep Alex’s fight against cystic fibrosis going.
About the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the leading organization devoted to curing and controlling cystic fibrosis. Headquartered in Bethesda, MD., the Foundation funds CF research, has more than 80 chapters and branch offices throughout the country, and supports and accredits a nationwide network of more than 115 CF care centers, which provide vital treatments and other CF resources to patients and family

Some news reported on baja racing news website!!
Currently on baja racing news site, he is posting a story about a robbery in Baja. here is what posted on his site.....
Robbery Reported
Mike Wilson from
Another Report: "I parked in front of that same hotel and had a spare c-6 transmission stole out of the pickup in broad daylight. I was inside the hotel for about 20 minutes."
Another Report: "We had the same happen to us a couple years ago,they took our radio antenna and a bag of about 50 shirts we had just got made with our team logo and stuff."
Another Report: "Had about 10 chase vehicles outside the gate (to be 'WATCHED" by the paid guard but apparently $aid big brother$ were $leeping on the job?"
This story is a post he stole off of Race Dezert without giving credit it to where it is from. This low life loves to take posts off of sites and give no credit to where he got it from. If any story seems to make someone look bad or seems to weird it mostly made up and should not be taken seriously. After the 500 I should have more stuff about him cause after races he post alot of stuff that is not true. So visit my site after the 500 for updates on all the false stories or for me telling you where he got his stories since he gives no credit to the right people or places!
