As I never get these things ....I was wondering what is the max length you can get? Is there any problem getting the longest stay possible ?( Looks
like I will go to CABO in November for BAJA 1000 )toneart - 8-16-2006 at 11:13 AM
Jim,
The maximum length for an FMT is 180 days. How have you managed to travel without one? Enjoy the BAJA 1000!surfer jim - 8-16-2006 at 11:38 AM
Nobody ever checks for them while driving....but I will be going down with 1 or 2 other people and just want the peace of mind while traveling this
time....Hook - 8-16-2006 at 01:35 PM

Nobody ever checks for them while driving in BCN. But, unless you happen to travel thru the GN checkpoint at times when they are closed, they ask for
it about 90% of the time there.Bruce R Leech - 8-16-2006 at 03:29 PM
dose the Baja 1000 go to Cobo?surfer jim - 8-16-2006 at 04:37 PM
It will this year.....BajaGeoff - 8-17-2006 at 02:15 PM
Paying the extra $20 is worth it, especially if you are going that far south. It is a really easy step to take to ensure a hassle-free trip.Sharksbaja - 8-17-2006 at 02:19 PM
Although I have only been chkd once at the GN a coupl yrs ago. I am always glad I have one when chkd by the military in remote areas because they
might ASK to SEE IT!

And if you don't have it, it could be a cluster flock, and make your day (week) a very bad one. But if you want to gamble to save $20 have at it.
Doesn't seem like a wise move to me though.gpm414 - 8-17-2006 at 03:50 PM
Not sure where surfer jim got his info about the Baja 1000 running to Cabo, but the SCORE web site says it runs from Ensenada to La Paz. The 1000
only runs the full length of Baja every other year, with a 1000 mile loop starting and ending in Ensenada the other opposite year. Check the SCORE
International website for information, maps, and dates: http://www.score-international.com/baja1000/index.ihtml
We've been in La Paz for the past two races (will be for this one too) and its a fun time and party that lasts for 3 days. Americans only think they
know how to party, the Mexican parties are off the scale for days...it's a guaranteed great time.David K - 8-17-2006 at 06:28 PM
The ONLY time it went all the way to Cabo San Lucas was for the special BAJA 2000 in November, 2000.
Anybody know if that 'Cabo 500' off race that Mr. Overcast (of baja ******) promoted (or wanted to) ever went off or was successful?BajaGeoff - 8-18-2006 at 11:57 AM
I would be very curious to know about how that event went too. Very interested indeed....Martyman - 8-18-2006 at 12:22 PM
The one time I was asked for my tourist card in GN I couldn't locate it and they waved me through anyway. I found it later but it does seem as though
you could get by without it, if you were slySharksbaja - 8-18-2006 at 12:24 PM

Heck yeah Marty but if you find yourself in a legal predicament without one you will soon wish you did!comitan - 8-18-2006 at 12:51 PM
