A Memorial Poster to be displayed at registration for written memories and given to the family in El Rosario.
The entire NORRA family wishes to recognize the passing of Doņa Anita Grosso de Espinoza, known to racers and world travelers as Mama Espinoza. Over
the many years, countless NORRA racers and Baja adventurers were fortunate enough to make her acquaintance and enjoy her generous hospitality. The
restaurant she ran with her family for over 40 years was check point one at the very first Mexican 1000 back in 1967. Mama Espinozas has always been
the place to fuel up and get a delicious meal before heading farther south on the Peninsula.
Doņa Anitas son Ruben Hale, who has raced the Mexican 1000 before is riding from Ensenada to El Rosario as #109 in honor of the 109 years of her
life. As usual, Mama Espinosa's will host dinner for the bikes on Saturday April 23rd at the conclusion of their Day 1 in El Rosario.

terrible about her passing, this is the first I have heard about it. I set a birthday alarm for her so I get an email every year as a reminder. AguaDulce - 9-19-2016 at 09:43 AM

just spoke to my neighbor Mike Pearlman and he said El Rosario is not on route.
If the first night is in San Felipe and the second is in BofLA, then it makes sense to race down Highway 5, far south and east of El Rosario.TMW - 9-19-2016 at 11:57 AM
The above info was for this years race. The 2017 race the bikes and cars/trucks will over night in the same city.
