NORRA introduced the original "Baja 500" in 1969. Fittingly, 50 years later, NORRA has decided to revamp it as the NORRA 500 - in a two day rally
format to compliment the success of its annual Mexican 1000.

"Only a $500 deposit"!!
Any idea what the total entry fee will be? Afraid to ask.
Back in the day (yeah, I know us oldtimers talk like this) we ran the last couple years of NORRA where the total entry fee was less than that.
Great fun back then, you could build your rig at home and be competitive.
