from Slow Baja · host slow baja
Curt LeDuc is a salt-of-the-earth Baja racer with an impressive record of DIY accomplishments in off-road racing. When asked about his approach to building winning racers, LeDuc said, “I’m not an engineer, I’m an imagineer” He’s built and raced his own vehicles at the highest levels of desert racing for decades. He’s won championships in desert class 8 five years in a row, and has two Short Course Off-Road Drivers Association titles. He's won the Governor’s Cup, a rare and valuable Borg Warner Cup, and has driven -and won at Crandon, Pike’s Peak, the Dakar Rally, and Baja. Inducted into the Off-Road Motorsports Hall Of Fame in 2015, LeDuc, through all his successes, is revered for doing it, achieving it all, with his own hands. He is a blue-collar racer who earned a reputation for fixing anything with almost nothing. His mad fab skills got him hired by racing icon Walker Evans. LeDuc is the guy you want with you in Baja for his mechanical aptitude, but more importantly, he knows every mechanic, welder, and taco shop on the entire peninsula.
