Who is going?
Where would you be catching them?

I am, I will probably be around Ojos Negros, and then by the coast.

 

Here you go...

 

one year... i will be there!

 

We had fun helping at a pit for the 2006 Baja 1000... Made it a trip to show Josh some fun Baja places in addition to helping with communications for Baja Pits at El Crucero... about 1/3 of the distance to La Paz (finish)...

I plan to go this year to relax and be a spectator, I don't think I'll be chasing for anyone this year, so maybe if a group gets together to go I'll definitely will caravan down.
The coast is the best way yo see the race, great views!

 

Caravan is always fun, this year I'll be driving down there the night before (thursday night) if anybody is interested. I'm thinking about going straight to the course and camp for the night.

 

Thanks for the map David K.

 

De nada!

Remember that it gets dark soon after 5 in November... The Trophy Trucks (leading 4 wheeled racers) will be racing in the dark after Race Mile 300 to 400... between Matomi and San Felipe.

 

I wanna catch them at least twice. Do you think I could make it from llano colorado to Santo Tomas, or maybe farther south and catch all cars??

 

The ultimate place to see the racers twice (and not need to move) is between Borrego Wash (#5 on map) and San Matias Pass... this is the only section of the coarse that is run twice.

You could watch near Agua Blanca (Llano Colorado) then head down Hwy. 3 to the Borrego/ San Matias section. Santo Tomas will be crazy... with so many spectators and few parking areas... also just back tracking through Ensenada will be a major ordeal, I think.

If we go, we will be at the Sulfur Mine, south of San Felipe... as we have friends who live on the beach near there. I kind of doubt it at this point.

My son and I watched the Baja 500 near Agua Blanca (Llano Colorado) back in 2003: http://vivabaja.com/500

 

Get a taste of the Baja 1000 from start to finish in 4 1/2 minutes... turn up your speakers for the tunes... from Dust To Glory... see Mario Andretti, Andy McMillin, Mouse McCoy, and more...

I will be there.

 

i love the movie dust to glory

 

Always was my favorite movie to watch in auto shop when we had a sub and couldn't work...

 

You guys know I an on being there and as always I will start a thread in the Socal section to try and get a group trip down.. If we head down thursday morning we could catch some of the pre race festivities and then go camp out in the desert

 

I'm with you I chased last year and although the team is asking for me to chase again I like relaxing and enjoying the race better.. I will most likely be heading down with some cousins and hopefully a TW group as well look for a thread in the Socal section soon

 

Where at?

Cool, where do you plan to go this time?

 

The race Map was just posted by SCORE:








If you want to see any of the four wheelers before it gets dark find a spot well before Mile 300. Word is the Trophy Trucks won't be starting until 11:30 am, and the rest of the 4 wheel classes are after!

 

I haven't decided where to go yet, we'll see.

 

Wish I lived out west, that would be a sick to see on my birthday (nov 17)
