Thanks DavidK for the map visual, I tried but I am computer retarded.
I might be spectating from the Hotel Erindira that week, anyone else?
I'm still craving the best torta's and a caguama lunch,dinner,breakfast or late night leaving Coyote Cal's I have ever had from there.
Hope they get the water turned back on.
Leaving for Gonzaga this friday and be back hopefully before the race or whenever?:biggrin:

I am happy to help Ed! Have fun at the race...

The last Baja 500 (2006) we watched, we also helped with communications for Baja Pits, south of Valle de Trinidad... helping Roy 'TheSquarecircle': http://vivabaja.com/606

In 2003, my son and I watched the 500 near Agua Blanca: http://vivabaja.com/500

You can listen to the Weatherman during the race at http://race-dezert.com/radio/ and there is usually a link there for live tracking. If not then go to www.score-international.com and they will have the live tracking link.

Erindira for the race

That was a good spot for the last 1000! I will be north about a mile from you. What kind of rig will you be driving?
Esteban

for the 1000 2009.
hope they fix it. the only link worth a crap for the 1000 was the feed from Wild Bill on top of a mountain.

i wonder where he and Elana will be this year for the 500??

Paulclark - 5-18-2009 at 06:48 AM

If you are referring to the live tracking and weatherman broadcast they worked fine for me.

Looks like it runs right through the Rancho Santa Marta orphanage and school grounds.
That is interesting.
Bill Lawrence, who runs RSM with wife Kaye, has been running events since the NORRA days.
Wonder if he will drag the old buggy out of storage for this one?

I think you'll find that it runs just north of there;D

I think you are correct

There is a dirt road that runs along the north side of the ranch (which totals about 400 acres) and over the top of the hill to the Mormon community.

Rumour has it that there are a few "interesting" family components in that little place.

hmmmmm, just what I hear, that's all.

Has anyone heard how they will be dealing with the all the bridge construction that's going on in town? We usually camp out in Erendira,,,but after last year I'm not sure. From Erendia you on see maybe 50% of the race field go by,,,had a much more exciting time outside of Ojos Negros. I have not missed a race in over 6 years,,,LOVE IT, and we eat like pigs. I imagine we'll be taping the race and throwing together a video of it---getting a handle on Final Cut Pro.
You all have FUN!!! and who knows maybe EnseNADAslim will catch ya on film.:cool:

EnseNADAslim - 5-25-2009 at 10:04 PM

Speaking of Erendira...Baja 500 2007


A different look of the race that many never do see---racing during the blackness of the night

David K - 5-29-2009 at 09:00 AM

Besides TunaEater (Paul), any other Nomads in the race?

EnseNADAslim - 6-5-2009 at 10:01 PM

Where is,,or where did everyone camp out at to watch the race? We were at about the 48 mile marker. I'll have video up in a couple weeks, wish I had all day to work on it,,,

capt. mike - 6-6-2009 at 07:29 AM

EnseNADAslim - 6-10-2009 at 08:08 PM

A great 500! Made it out to Ojos Negros by 6:30 and hung out there for a bit, then headed out to the 80 mile route marker +or-, then in the afternoon headed out beyond and to the west of the Dump to watch some of the return. We ended the day with Fish Tacos downtown. Robby was hooked up good, but sounded like he was Missing something horrible at the end of the day, but he did what he had to do to get 1st.
