I understand it is the same as last year except they don't run next to the highway from Borrego but take the power line road to San Matias pass.

The top three bikes were very close, especially the top two. Expect more of the same at the 1000.

Cerveza was cold.

Lots of DNF's.

Perfect crowds.

Baja racing season is on hold till October and November.

If anyone can find me at a beach on one of the coasts and I'll buy.
