The July 1974 Baja Internacional

Just so happens it was the first race I drove myself to, when I was 16.

Today, I made a webpage with the 20 photos I took at Ensenada, a day before the race and at Mike's Sky Rancho where every racer had a mandatory 1-hour 'down' time... It was a busy pit!

I took photos where the racers arrived to the Score checkpoint.

Here was Mike's camping area on race day:



Bobby Ferro was one of the first 4-wheeled racers to arrive:

The van driven by Mark Burke & Ron Sloan has a front Cali license plate, wonder if they drove it there like the old "Run What Ya Brung" days?

Street legal! My Class 6 race car (the one I co-drove) was also street legal, in 1979 (the exhaust was a bit noisy)!
