That might work. Let me talk with my group. If we're coming down that way, I'll let you know.

I know Trophy Trucks should average about 50 mph.
How about the motos? I'm especially interested with the first 300 miles or so.
Thanks!

There are places where a Trophy Truck can hit a top speed in the 140mph range or more for short periods. Usually a dry lake bed lets them run fast for
a little longer. They have to be very careful at that speed because the truck is not as aerodynamic as a NASCAR or Formula one car and they could get
airborne or drift sideways with bad results.

It is on the SCORE web site. They are labelled Pre-running, start finish and total course.
http://score-international.com/2018baja1000/gps/raceweek/sta...
Pre-running is the loop course from Ojos Negros and back.
Start finish is just the course from the start to Ojos Negros which is also used as the course back to the finish.
Total course is the two above put together.

And they use the south end of Pioneer road, and they get there by another new road from the west leading to the general area of the mine (south of the
mine).

"new road from the west" has been there for a long long time
used it often - very scenic drive
