Here are some information on the content and bandwidth thief. It will help more to understand that con-man.
So 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. 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". It is widely known the guy has nothing - let's make that correct: NOTHING to do with that event!!
A well done action by Pirate4x4.com several years back: Overcast/Newsome was challenged to produce the winners of his spam-advertised, "Cabo 500 Giveaway".
More news tp come - we take the thruth and find the rumor!!
