With an MBA in entrepreneurship from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California, Manny Bojorquez is an accomplished business professional. Manny Bojorquez also has varied experience spanning the automotive and healthcare industries. One of his favorite trucks is the Ford F-150’s Raptor series.
The first F-150 Raptor was unveiled at the Specialist Equipment Market Associate (SEMA) show in 2008 in Los Vegas, Nevada. The first raptor had a huge 6.2L V8 engine with the performance of 411 horsepower under its hood. Even at that time, many owners of the first line of F-150 Raptors customized their trucks with aftermarket parts, which allowed more off-road capabilities that inspired Ford to put their first F-150 Raptor into the Baja 1000, held in Mexico in 2008.
People ranging from veteran racers, celebrities, and unknown newcomers all participate or watch the Baja 1000 every year. For the first F-150 Raptor, it would forever tie into the Baja 1000 event, which is a staple race held in Mexico, with the experience best described by people as a sort of mix between Mad Max and the Dakar Rally. At the 2008 Baja 1000, the first unproven F-150 Raptor proved its racing chops in the competitive off-road circuit. This ultimately led to Ford putting the raptor into every race after that year.
