Baja 1,000

Small field means everyone wins.

I remember the good old days of BRA (Baja Racing Assoc)
I can't remember old Bill's last name, but he was the boss man.

We won a BRA race, the Laguna Salada 200 !!
OK, there were only two in the pickup class,
but hey, a win is a win,
Still have the trophy way up on a top shelf

Did the other truck get a "participation trophy"

The 1975 BRA Baja 300 at Santo Tomás was fun, the start and end was in the El Palomar campground. I went down following Class 5 racer Mark Hansen of Escondido. We did a pre run of the lap the day before the race.

One racer broke down and borrowed a rancher's horse to ride back to the start for help... with his fire suit and helmet on!

I was drove in that race

I have no idea about the management of BRA... I was 17 and there for fun... Yes, it was many 50+ mile loops to the coast and back to make 300 miles... Funny about how we were both there at the same time, 45 years ago!

Yes, up on the new Libramiento de Ensenada... Only people directly connected for the race can get in close, due to the China virus. Best to find a good location to view down the course somewhere. Since it loops around a lot, you can move a short distance to watch in multiple places... Just DO NOT drive on the course after they have passed, especially the wrong way!

Maybe you should turn off Fox News and check out the race yourself Just remember to wear a mask and social distance.

The virus is from China.

Well, it seems for some here, it isn't obvious why it was called the "China Virus", that is the point. It comes from China. Nothing more complicated than that. [Edited on 11-6-2020 by David K]

China is a place, not a race. 'China Virus' is a virus from China. Nothing at all racist, it is about geography. Do you need a map? When I was young, there was a Hong Kong Flu. Nothing racist was implied. Stop with the hate and spinning the story to appeal to CNN and MSNBC mentality viewers.

The childish bickering is why I spend very little time in Baja Nomads. I came into this thread interested to learn about spectating the B1K. A need to be down in Baja for work happens to coincide with the race and I'd like to find a cool spot or two to catch the action (likely towards the San Felipe side as I'll be camping on the beach over there somewhere).

Unfortunately it will be middle of the night viewing here in San Felipe but that can be cool too. Plenty of places to camp out on the course here. If you need some suggestions where or anything let me know, I'm always around
