What's with BFG

On their site at http://rlhcomm.com/bfg.html they say they will have pit support at San Felipe but if you try to click on their download buttons only the Baja 1000 map comes up. Do they know the race is next weekend?

Their pit is showing on the SCORE GPS file - north of Puerticitos on the pavement, ~RM149.7.

That would be the wide gravel spot near ~KM59, just north of where the race track exits the dirt.

Hey Stuck,
What is the green track. Is it drive able?
Maybe it is starts at the well at K61?

The one into Matomi? Looks to be ~K63.6.

Sorry to hear you guys are sitting this one out.

The green lines are chase access roads. Once I add chase access roads to the entire course, I turn those routes into a GPS file for the team's chase trucks. A really helpful asset, especially at night.

I'm going to share the chase routes after Thursday morning here.

Safe racing!

The access south of K61 has been on my to-do list for quite a while. I tried entering El Canelo, but the guy I was with could not deal with the deep sand. Pretty close to K63-64. Eventually I will explore that drainage. Its a huge one. I did not expect to see a path back to Matomi. I would like to see your chase stuff when you get it together. Thanks, Paul

When was the last time you went to the arch? I always wanted to see it since BajaLou showed it in his photos. Here are some by 'Bug':

Where's that arch? I might have some down-time this Friday afternoon to check it out.

I will send you the location when I am back home.
