Drag racing has been such an important part of Baca’s life that the second-generation Top Fuel driver proudly proclaims, "I came from the womb to the drag strip; when I came out I was smelling nitro."

BRISTOL, Tenn. - Tweaking, tinkering and testing continue to be vital parts of David and Dennis Baca's agenda as they scrutinize the tune-up of their Baca Motorsports Top Fuel dragster.
Nonetheless, Dennis Baca, who is co-tuner with Larry Meyer, isn't ready or willing to throw in the proverbial towel.
Baca's best run at Las Vegas was 4.662 seconds at 300.40 mph in qualifying, but it could've been much better.

 rpm.espn.com: Baca can't do much better
On Friday night, Baca again stole the thunder, literally, of the more established teams of defending POWERade champion Larry Dixon and four-time 2003 national event winner Doug Kalitta when he roared to another career-best pass, a 4.499 shot and another 326.32 top speed reading.
All three have roots that are deeply sunk in the Alcohol Dragster class where both Baca and Henkelman campaigned A/Fuel dragsters while Cory Mac won his first career national event start in 1989 in Denver aboard his alcohol-fueled machine.
But for David Baca, it would be hard to imagine things improving very much over what has already happened to him at the sport's most important event.

The Baca Ranch is what is known as the Valles Caldera, which is a large depression 12 to 15 miles in diameter and circular in shape that was formed when the volcano erupted and then sank back into the big hole in the ground.
The Baca was heavily logged in the '40s and '50s.
Domenici also wants the Baca Ranch to be run by a nine-member board of directors--New Mexicans with expertise in things like recreation, wildlife and grazing-- so that it won't be subject to normal rules and regulations that govern the operation of other federal lands.

But when all was said and done, Baca and Bridges—in concert with their prime contractors—called the shots.
Baca plunged into his “program manager” role, vetting and hiring contractors; handling communications; troubleshooting legal and insurance issues; acting as a buffer between his incident commander and the rest of the inquiring world; and doing whatever else was necessary to get the job done.
Although Baca says the engineering innovations pioneered at the Brentwood cleanup will eventually be turned over to the government, he is proprietary about the devices, explaining that there is still intellectual property issues to be worked out among the contractors.

Baca said that there was no risk that a spark from the equipment would ignite the gas, and tests have shown that the gas would not harm the machines.
Baca said the Postal Service has obtained data on spring wind currents in the area from the National Weather Service, so it will know how escaping gas might move.

Placed in the custody of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the $250,000 was given the same decontamination treatment as mail recovered from Brentwood: irradiation at a private facility.
And Baca said the Fed was not alone in seeking explanations from the Postal Service about what was being done with tainted checks, money or mail.
So Yates has been trying to get a letter from the Postal Service about irradiation, so she can give it to the Fed. She is more than a bit frustrated that postal workers are handling irradiated mail every day, yet the Fed wants written details in order to destroy irradiated money.

A test at the quarantined Brentwood Road postal plant intended to make sure everything was ready for full fumigation was described as a success by the U.S. Postal Service, although equipment failures and minor gas leaks occurred.
Some postal workers did not share his optimism, in part because earlier this month cracks were found in several thousand feet of piping and the piping had to be replaced.
Some postal spokesmen described the equipment trouble Thursday as planned, but Baca said yesterday that only the test of contingencies was planned and that he was happy with the responses to the problems that did crop up.
