2020 Baja 1000 REVISED MAP

David K - 11-9-2020 at 11:37 AM

NOV. 17-22, 2020 (Race begins Nov. 20, 40 hour time limit to finish)
898.40 mile PRO loop, 767.06 mile Sportsman loop

There markers are up from hwy 1 to San Vicente bridge. It makes hard Rt turn in sand wash. This will be a big time blockade for hwy 1.

mtgoat666 - 11-10-2020 at 07:43 AM

So the Baja 1000 is only 898 miles?

Then it should actually be called the “Baja 898”

Or perhaps it should be called the “Baja 1000, 89.8% edition”

AKgringo - 11-10-2020 at 08:40 AM

I never followed the Baja 1000 much until I started using this forum (late 2014)

It seems to me, that one year the course was around 1200 miles. Was I mistaken?

bajatrailrider - 11-10-2020 at 09:37 AM

I think correct many times they change course. Even the day before and during race.

You just can't "let it go" can you? Trump lost, fair and square.

But, you constantly accused Clinton voters of being "sore losers" in 2016?

Hypocrisy, thy name is David.

Yes, it was one or two times at least. More often it was closer to 900 miles, however... There were even a few called the Baja 1000 Km with races closer to 600 miles (1976 and 1977 come to mind).

Okay, but we all know where you're coming from. Trolling is not humor.

Why did you even bring up the election on a post about the Baja 1000, anyway? No off road racing humor you could recall?

You can say whatever you wish. And I have the right to respond as well. You can delete whatever you wish. That is your right.

John I'm missing something where in this post . Did David say anything political.

David K - 11-10-2020 at 05:17 PM

I made a harmless joke about "rounding up" the miles to 1,000 following Goat's joke. The joke was equating that to rounding up the vote numbers. John got bent, we had a back in forth, I deleted my posts asking him to do the same (to keep this about the map)... but he chose not to leading to the confusion you are asking about.

bajatrailrider - 11-10-2020 at 06:08 PM

ok I get it be nice if to keep political issues . Like US presidents out of baja off road forum .

Kind of like rounding up the number of people that attended Trump's inauguration :lol:

Can you imagine how wide the margin of victory might have been had Trump/Republicans made it so difficult to vote?

I'll be watching the race around Checkpoint 1. Anyone else going to be in the area?

David K - 11-17-2020 at 10:13 AM

New video of prerunning the course with Cameron Steele and BFG Tires... Nicely done (15 min.):

Another issue with SCORE
The latest gps file 11.06 is missing the race mile WPs, but does have the course changes.
So-- if you want mile markers use the file 10.22
Kinda late for the folks that are in transit to deal with

The Baja 1000 has always been between 1000 KM and 1000 miles. That's why they call it the Baja 1000 or Baja mil. Simple and easy.

amigobaja - 11-19-2020 at 07:43 PM

Anyone know what time the trophy trucks will be going off

David K - 11-19-2020 at 08:09 PM

10 am... One at a time... Not sure if it is every 30 seconds or 60?

SMG - 11-19-2020 at 10:49 PM

We're crossing at Mexicali tomorrow morning driving down the 5 headed towards 7 sisters. Any guess to the impact of the race around San Felipe?

The Trophy Trucks will not be close to being on or next to Hwy. 5 until after sunset... The fastest motorcycles sometime around 2 pm. The race loops back north at Arroyo Matomí (Km. 60) and passes through San Felipe again 2 hours later. So, 4 pm for bikes and 8 pm for the heavy metal racers. Then the racers will be still going for a few more hours. They have 40 hours from their start to be considered a finisher.

The top 5 Trophy Trucks now:

David K - 11-20-2020 at 03:50 PM

Bryce Menzies 197.2 mi SCORE Trophy Truck®
Alan Ampudia 202.7 mi SCORE Trophy Truck®
Rob MacCachren 225.1 mi SCORE Trophy Truck®
Cameron Steele 202.4 mi SCORE Trophy Truck®
Tim Herbst 231.8 mi SCORE Trophy Truck®

David K - 11-20-2020 at 06:11 PM

Taking a glance at the tracking map and the lead bike looks to be 1X in Matomi Canyon, Mile 582.

Dan McMillin is at Race Mile 328 and a bunch of Trophy Trucks are right behind... heading towards Meling Ranch area.
