    this year the race starts in ensenada and does a huge loop and comes back to ensenada, once you cross the border ensenada is 1-2 hours, oh btw we dont stay in a hotel, we stay in our uncles mother in laws house so dont expect some luxurious place, but we are just gonna sleep there and the whole day we are gonna be watching the race out in the desert

    if your gettina a hotel start looking now


    honestly the the media blows it out of proportions just like the whole swine flu thing, if you mind your own buiseness and are respectful you wont have problems but if your looking for trouble your gonna find it, and unless your involve with the cartels you dont need to worry about the killings since its the cartels killing each other for turf and buiseness so dont worry about it since they arnt interested in killing a couple guys in a tacoma

    Thanks!! I'm doing what I can to make sure I'll have what I need before I hit the road but I'll definitely let you know if something comes up. :thumbsup:

    I don't have the vacation time or the budget for other races this year. I'm trying to be somewhat realistic with things. This being my first race, I'm anticipating breakage and that the truck won't be in shape for a second race without some rework. The testing I can do here in the northeast isn't anywhere close to the real thing but it's all I've got at the moment.

    im not going to primm unless i go with the team, the blm screws it up for the spectators, theres no place to watch the race from except on the main pits wheres its flat and it has a speed limit so its pretty boring to watch them cruise 50mph on a flat dry lake bed, unless they open a spectator spot?
