Thanks TW... looks pretty close to the same course, overall as before...

TMW - 5-10-2012 at 04:57 PM

I understand it is the same as last year except they don't run next to the highway from Borrego but take the power line road to San Matias pass.

That power line road has some deep whoops for a long way...It runs near a beautiful catcus garden..good race watch area.

The top three bikes were very close, especially the top two. Expect more of the same at the 1000.

David K - 6-7-2012 at 06:26 PM

Anybody with a Baja 500 trip report to share?

Trucks were closer than the bikes!!!

Did you check the difference in TT???
11 seconds, now that, my man, is close!

Desertbull - 6-7-2012 at 09:52 PM

Cerveza was cold.

Lots of DNF's.

Perfect crowds.

Baja racing season is on hold till October and November.

If anyone can find me at a beach on one of the coasts and I'll buy.

David K - 6-8-2012 at 08:07 AM

The Ensenada to San Felipe RECORD off road race is comming up soon!
