We are headed to Ensenada to take in contingency and the race start. We will stay with friends at Punta Banda. After the start, we will return to near the sulfer mine to watch. Who else is coming down?

I've had the pleasure to meet and work with Mark in the last month. I hope he does well, as well as his brother.

Is there a schedule of events for Wednesday in Ensenada? I'm going to drive town in the early afternoon to check it out.

The sulfur mine

Yeah...they're open, from around 1 PM.
Something else...one of the teams is displaying their truck out at the Old Mission Brewery, the new place out on the spit. Normaly closed on Tuesday but open tomorrow. Normal start time there is around noon.
Try the place. It's a great venue on a sunny day.

Hey Rob,

today is Tuesday and I'll be down tomorrow about noon for 12 days so I'll get with you for the race on Thursday...

Probably 18-20 hours from their statrting time, for the fastest racers (open bikes and Trophy Trucks and Class 1.

Pacific Time the first bike starts at 6:30 am... so 12:30-2:30 am Friday Pacific/ 1:30 am to 3:30 am Mountain Time...

Maybe starting 4 hours later for the first four wheeled V-8 racers (5:30-7:30 am Friday morning Mountain Time)... This is a complete educated guess, as conditions will determine if they fastest racers can maintain a 55-60 mph average.

All racers have 45 hours (from their start) to complete the race to be considered a finisher.

If the last racer to start begins at 1:30 pm Thursday... then the La Paz finish line will be open until 10:30 am Pacific Time (11:30 am Mountain) Saturday morning... provided there is still someone in the race, as reported by previous check points.

Hey Chuck

We did the obligitory Hussongs stop yesterday, (2 for 1 ) and Monster had the street in front closed with 2 wheelers doing jumps. We are going to Contingency this morning and then back to the beach. We are going to watch at the chili dipper at KM31. CU soon.

Hi Rob,

just got back tonight after a 12 day stay. Thanks again for the good company and delicious food at the race.

We'll be back on December 18th for about 16 days, can't wait!

Yes Rob, I would be glad to do that and the 29th is the perfect night for it, everyone who is coming down will be down by then...

I meant to ask you about it but was also surprised to not hear it on the general announcements this past week.

David K - 11-29-2010 at 04:39 PM

"Yes Rob, I would be glad to do that and the 29th is the perfect night for it, everyone who is coming down will be down by then..."

Won't be down until after the 29th, sorry!... work you understand (Baja Angel's), but she has the 31st off so we are coming then... just like last year. Rob, did you get the location for that mine for this year? :light:

Oh, a reminder for anyone using a Toyota Tacoma's 110v outlet, in the bed: While driving, the output is limited to 100 watts (in Park, 400 watts). So, use LED lights!

I remember someone last year or before had over 100 watts worth of lights strung, and as soon as you put the truck in Drive, they went dim.... :no:
