Contact Baja Pits (El Cajon, CA) as they usually get nice race map posters made. I think they come from Baja Tym's? I will see if I can find that...
EDIT:
I have a San Felipe 250 Baja Pits poster from 2011. It has this: This map prepared by Streamline forms and graphics 619-390-7007

Between mile 60 and 70 is a really bad section that turned us around. It goes down a hill to an arroyo with deep wide ruts and a drop off into the
arroyo. But a blade can fix it.StuckSucks - 5-19-2017 at 12:11 PM

We'll be heading north on race day. Ens will be gridlock so we're gonna give the 5 a try. Where is a good spot to watch for an jour or so north of SF
if possible? The 5 doesnt render well on that map. PaulW - 5-19-2017 at 03:53 PM

B500
San Felipe section will be south on Diablo then south at Morelia Jct then Chanate then Amarillas, back to west of the arches then dump road then
traditional route to 3 poles and San Matias.
The road labeled "Moto" on my previous post on Ed's thread has been rebuilt and the race will use that one. Still not info on the other washed out
track to the north of"Moto".woody with a view - 5-19-2017 at 04:24 PM
Look for dust clouds to the west as you drive north from San Felipe. There are limited roads over the race route. Then you would take Hwy. 3 just
after the military checkpoint towards Ensenada to see it closer.
Of course, you are going this way to avoid Ensenada traffic, so you will lose that time gained with San Felipe area race traffic and watching. The
race cars are often well spaced apart so far from the start. Best to just camp along the course and make a day and evening of it. Try and see which
side of the road the dust blows to, if there is a breeze.StuckSucks - 5-19-2017 at 05:43 PM

There are many places to spectate along Highways 3 and 5. But remember that the leaders won't get to the San Felipe area until around 16 hours after
they start, e.g. bikes will arrive in SF around 9pm Sat.
From ENS, if you want to see the leaders at a reasonable time of day, then it might be best to head south of Highway 1 toward Camalú.David K - 5-19-2017 at 06:57 PM
Jim, 16 hours? About 6 hours for 300 miles for the fastest racers.
Edit for Woody: If the Trophy Trucks begin at 11 am, then look for them to be near San Felipe beginning around 5 pm(again, depends on when they leave
Ensenada). If you find when they predict the first four-wheeled vehicles to begin, add 6 hours for San Felipe. They are racing the clock, not each
other, for the fastest time.

Oops, my math! I stand corrected - six hours.woody with a view - 5-20-2017 at 08:45 AM
we don't really care about the race just wanna get in front of the border line. if we happen to be there when there's some action, okay, otherwise
it's run to the border. bajatrailrider - 5-21-2017 at 08:25 PM
We just got back from Coyotes on bikes they where pre running on Friday. The route from Coyote to Mikes should be big challenge on one up hill.Ateo - 5-22-2017 at 09:28 AM

I always like watching them roar across the dry lake bed @ the 240 marker.

Watch out for Rob Mac, he's having a great year so far and his truck looked really good at the 250, definitely my pick to win!
As a rule of thumb always figure on a 50 mph average for the top motorcycle teams. The trucks typically average a little faster, somewhere between 52
and 55 mph depending on the course BajaRat - 6-3-2017 at 10:15 AM
There launching the Trophy Trucks !
How long have they had that new BFG Baja T/A tread ?
