Got to Ensenada about 11 A.M. Friday....found parking and followed the LOUD booming music to the inspection area...lots of food being prepared in the
area...but I don't eat in BAJA anymore...at least anything that I didn't bring with me...last time I got food poisining there it was terrible and it
wasn't worth the 70 cent for the tacos no matter how good they taste....went to see the cars....especially what they call CLASS 12 as I just got mine
finished in March...no I don't race just like to pre-run and play....wanted to check suspensions to see how they set the shocks on race cars...saw
about 10 cars like mine so I got some ideas on what to do.....also checked out the COCA-COLA dancing girls....nice....saw my friend PEPE from the BAJA
SHOP ...they built my car.....after a couple of hours was time to go to find some surf down at CUATRO CASAS ...near Colonet....

Northbound on I-5 Sunday afternoon, I saw a racer (#300) and a few chase vehicles returning from the Baja 500. Last year, my son and I watched it...

Jim, how was the surf? I heard that the swells in San Diego were big, especially on Sunday.

Surf this weekend
Yep, we had a swell but not huge here in Rosarito. Heading north on Friday night, I have never seen so many surfers heading south so I assumed a swell
was headed our direction.
Then, we realized too late that it was the 500 weekend and had to spend about 45 minutes getting through side streets in Ensenada because the road
was closed.
Had we not spent the day driving from Concepcion Bay, we would have stopped and joined the party. A home shower and bed was the top priority at that
point.

4baja....saw them on the beach a few miles north of Enrendira...looked like they had a good crowd with them...didn't stop to visit...wasn't sure if my
VIVA BAJA sticker would be welcome there and didn't need any issues...saw the 4 seater driving around giving rides......
went to CUATRO CASAS to surf but didn't like the waves...not breaking in the usual area and tide was dropping...so it was a no go ....never got into
the water all weekend even with waves around.....

Very true Jim
The farther north we got, the better the waves were.

Surfer Jim you can't be serious, we would have all had a good laugh about it and then given you something to drink. You don't seriously think we take
that mierda south with us?

Me-No...was good to hear you say that...no I NEVER expected "problems" but didn't want to feel like a party crasher either....saw the banner and
almost stopped...wanted a ride in the buggy...I drove that area in my buggy two weeks previous....where you there Friday around 6 P.M....?....
Side note: PJC wrote some articles called "with age you get a cage"...very good and gave me some direction as to my current buggy...(build it for
comfort and reliability)...
