An interesting loop. One of the most northwestern 1000 maps that I can recall seeing.

Please post when you have a Google Earth overlay. The latest Score map is such low quality I don't want to even bother trying view it.

I like the course. The far south route I have not been on for a very long time and some areas I've never been on so I'm think of running it from RM265
to RM465.

Yes, they're going to remove the up-Summit part of the course (probably a good idea). I will change this map as SCORE releases changes.

For those that wish to view the course in Google Earth, it is simple. On the SCORE web site click on the KML file. Tell the response you want to
open it with Google Earth. Or Save the file. and open it with Google Earth. Either way, very simple.

What a joke Race on the highway at 60MPH just because someone said the summit was hard. FYI, the summit is easier than ever before due to the new road
that Bypasses all the hard stuff on the N side.

Last June 2015 we drove over the summit east to west and it was a piece of cake and we were all in basically stock vehicles with a lift except Roy in
his Rover, it was all stock.

Tom, From the sound of the problems they had I suspect they were using the old SCORE track. As you know that is the two tracks on the left as they
were going up. They probably were not even aware of the new road that bypasses all the washouts. To late to change they rerouted.
All because the marking guys that had never driven the summit since the new road was built.

Merely FYI, I overlaid the two different courses on top of each other - you can see the the faded old loop on the north. It will be interesting to see
the difference in mileages.

Thanks for the two track overlays
Just curious I cannot get the SCORE LV4 USR file to open. Do you know what it is about?
I want to drive the summit in my latest baja rig. V Trinidad up & over and to the bottom to Arroyo Saiz and back. I will be available to do it on
the 30th or later. Send me a U2U and we can get together.

So Hwy. 3 from the Mike's Sky Rancho junction to San Matias Pass will have TWO-WAY race traffic (plus the public) now, that someone thought the Summit
is too difficult for the race machines!
There is another road over the mountain between Valle Trinidad and Rancho Arroyo Grande, as I recall?

More opportunities to kill spectators and general public!
What is the average number of deaths per Baja 1000?
