Jonah Street was a 'revelation' in the 2006 Dakar.  In his first Dakar Rally, he competed with and beat some of the big factory teams.  He placed in the top 5 in three different stages, and announced his presence to the world rally community.  In the 2007 Rally, he was running in 4th position overall when he suffered engine failure and was forced to retire.

 

In the 2009 Dakar Rally, Jonah again showed his toughness and talent.  Riding with a previously injured wrist, he spent the first week of the rally in the top three overall, and won stage 5 by over five minutes.  Unfortunately, he was forced to retire on Stage 8 due to the injury.

 

He has been racing for years, with many race wins and championships in the SCORE and Best in the Desert series. 

 

He is now looking forward to heading back to Dakar in 2010!
