El Paso, TX. native, John Warren (aka “Wolverine”) smirks at danger, never backs away, but will politely encourage you not to fight him…as his list of wins is beyond counting.  Applying his expertise in hand-to-hand combat to racing, John is precise, powerful, aggressive, and easily endures to the end.  Having completed the Baja 1000 on his first attempt, John asked if he could loop it again “just to make sure”.  When not off-roading, you will find John at any road track on the West Coast or wondering through an endless journey in the desert, mountains, or sea.  Also an expert craftsman and musician, the sound that resonates from his custom build amplifiers is perfect pitch, just like his attention to the throttle.

In the stressful heat of race battles, Emily’s
words reflect her personality… ”Bailamos”.
