Being that the 27th is my 6th wedding anniversary, watching will be a stretch. I'll talk Leidys into watching with me! :cool:

Looking forward to seeing the 1000 tomorrow afternoon - as remote as we were at the race, it will be fun to see what actually went on at other places than RM4435.

Mountain biking on Sedona slick rock today (while trying to avoid tourists)!!

Feliz!

Happy Anniversary to you both!
I guess when you camped with us in July 2010, you were newlyweds?
Get a DVR record shows, watch when you can.

When we camped with you and Baja Angel we were married 1 1/2 yrs, and more importantly, had the resident visa to finally travel outside of the U.S. Colombia recently voided all of their citizen's passports, requiring them to get updated passports - no travels until the backlog eases. No Baja until 2016...

On DirectTV, they list it as the Baja 500. 6 pm and 10 pm, 2 hour showings. Ch. 221.

TecateRay - 12-27-2015 at 08:27 AM

Cox San Diego also lists it as the 500. I recorded just in case.

No doubt it is the 1000 because there still hasn't been a 47th Baja 500, as they called it in the listing. The 500 is a couple of years younger than the 1000 (although in 1974 there was no 1000, but there was a 500 and an 'Internacional'. Another point, the Baja 1000 began in 1973, not 1967 which was the year of the first Mexican 1000. :lol:

Here is the short video I took (I was 16) at the first Baja 1000:

TMW - 12-27-2015 at 11:10 AM

The 2015 1000 was the 48th.

Next year the 2016 will be the 49th (a loop race) and the 2017 Baja 1000 will be the 50th and word is Norman is planning a very long race like the 2000 was. Also the new Dust to Glory type movie with scenes from the 2016 season will be released as part of the 50th anniversary.

AND....8 days till dakar and 13 days till Anaheim one!

TMW - 12-27-2015 at 11:57 AM

Yea this could be one of the better Supercross seasons if all are healthy. Some fast new guys and some fast older guys and we may see a girl racing in the 250 class.

See the way the "500" is listed. I think 47th would be correct? There was no 1000 (by any name) in 1974, so in 2017 it will be the 49th running of the race, 50 years after the first one.

I do see Roger Norman is indeed going to call it the 50th.

Very cool video Dave, some great old cars!

David K - 12-27-2015 at 11:07 PM

I think this was the first time 2 hours for a Baja race report on TV?
I am sure glad I DVR'd it and began watching when it was almost over (live)... and could zip through the 30 minutes of commercials!

I think it was a good show, covered many racers from start to finish including the motorcycles. Again, not all the classes were covered but did see Trophy Truck, Trophy Truc Spec, Class 1, Class 10, and UTV Class 19 as they progressed around Baja. Time during the show was included talking about Cameron and Heidi Steele, as Cameron was a co-host beside his racing. He sure looked beat when he took the microphone after finishing the race.

Did anyone else notice how it was shown as the 47th Baja 1000 at the beginning and then described as the 48th at the end? Perhaps it is all in my head? LOL

Meany - 12-28-2015 at 08:20 AM

It was way cool. A very well done program. And yes David I did notice the same thing. Watching it again tonight I hope. :bounce:

TMW - 12-28-2015 at 09:48 AM

DK no doubt RN and even Sal played with the term running verses anniversary. In adding up the years it did run then the 2017 Baja 1000 will be the 50th running of the race and the 50th anniversary of the first race.

1967-1973=7 No 1974 race.
1975-1984=10
1985-1994=10
1995-2004=10
2005-2014=10
2015-2017=3

Total 50 and the 2015 race was the 48th running.

David K - 12-28-2015 at 10:56 AM

Thanks Tom, that clears it up nicely!

TecateRay - 12-28-2015 at 04:47 PM

Really good show. Lots of classes, good coverage throughout the race instead of just the start and finish.
