Just Baja 1000 course and map discussion, please. If you hate desert racing, then this isn't a forum you will enjoy.
=============================================================================
On topic posts from the first thread I made with this map:

| Quote: Originally posted by PaulW | It is hard to do 1000 miles without doing the same tracks each time. Especially without a peninsula run. Racers will have a bit of cost savings for a

They could have added more tracks in the south to extent the miles |

Goat it is either 1000 miles or 1000 KM or anything in between, don't be so picky. |
| Quote: Originally posted by TMW | | I think it was the early 90s the race was in the 600+ mile range. Danny Hamel raced most of it solo. I think Jack Johnson did a short section for him
but Danny did almost the whole race. Danny was a great racer. |
| Quote: Originally posted by baja-chris | The 1000km loop 1000's are typically tougher on equipment/body/mind than the 1000+mile peninsula 1000's. Nobody wishes for more abuse at the end of a
loop 1000, even if it's only 700 miles.
Reason, on a peninsula run there are many sections of sustained high speeds that eat up the miles quickly and are a bit easier than the pounding jeep
trails around Ensenada.
Opposite is true for the crews. |
| Quote: Originally posted by SFandH | THE RACE COURSE
The 828.25-mile race course for the BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 1000, presented by 4 Wheel Parts, runs in a clockwise after the first part to and then
back and back from Ojos Negros. It goes up and over the Cordillera de Molina to drop into the desert around Rm 115.
After hitting the Ventana area it will run south to the El Chinero road crossing highway 3 at Km 192 and will keep going south to Matomi wash. Halfway
into Matomi Wash it exits and goes north to Azufre Wash, then to Huatamote wash, Chanate Wash and up to Morelia Junction.
From there the course will exit the desert and go to San Matias Pass road and Mike’s Sky Rancho, down to Rancho La Jolla and will run on the San
Pedro Martir road to Meling Ranch. After Meling it will run to the Pacific Coast to Ejido Jaramillo and north to San Vicente where it will cross back
to Valley de Trinidad then back to Ojos Negros and onto to the finish line in Ensenada.
For safety reasons, all of the Sportsman classes along with Class 11 and Class 7SX will run a reduced course of 782.49 miles.

Looks like you just combined all the posts here.
We're still planning on heading down, thinking of camping somewhere near RM150/165, then try to catch again after 420.

Drove from town via Morelia Jct and used the high road past Diablo lake bed to Hwy 3. The south end of the lake does not have standing water, but the
north end is very flooded. That high road has many washouts that could ruin any rig if hit directly.

I can't find the official schedule for 2022. The start times. Do the trophy trucks start at 8am Saturday morning? Do the Motos head out at 4am?
Are they going up the creek bed, then up past the parqe ecological?

What's up with 344x? It's a moto, but can't be at mile 700 yet? Did he make a wrong turn and now headed opposite direction?

While the Score website may have crashed, the live tracking and video feed is still working for me. The three lead bikes are 10x, 3x, and 7x. They are
between RM 205 and 215... 20 miles north from San Felipe.

"SCORE Baja 1000 2022 live tracking app by trackleaders.com" http://trackleaders.com/baja1k22f.php
What time are the leaders expected to finish?
One truck was claiming 2:30am. The announcers seemed sceptiy.

7x & 3x are the lead bikes... 10x fell way way back.
Lead bikes are over halfway home, nearing 550 mile marker. at 2:40pm.
The 4 leading Trophy Trucks are between San Felipe and the Sulfur Mine, with Luke McMillin in the lead (#83), followed by Bryce Menzies & Andy
McMillin (#7), Dan McMillin (#23) in third, and our buddy, Cameron Steele (#16) doing 120 mph on the old Puertecitos road!
Edit, Cameron just moved into 3rd place by Race Mile 250.

Thanks for that direct link, verichip!
Figure the fastest racers average between 50 and 60 mph and divide that into the total miles (830), so approx 14-16 hours for the leaders. Bikes
began, at 3 am... so if the first bike was the fastest, about 5 pm+
The first Trophy Truck began at 10 am... so if he was the fastest, about midnight to 2 am tonight... ?? Just an estimate for the fastest... if one of
the first to start... Adjust from starting time since they leave one at a time each minute (or was it each 30 seconds?).

At a glance, I see 7x as the lead bike at RM 775 and Dan McMillin #23 as lead Trophy Truck near RM 555.
Cameron pushed his truck too hard, perhaps... Out before RM400.
The course is way tougher than in the past with the longer times, especially for the bikes??
Again, I just came in to take a glance and may not be seeing the full picture!
