The start for the 4 wheel vehicles will be delayed to 11am or later depending on the parade for the Mexican Revolution that starts at 9am.

A few years ago, my wife and I drove up the penninsula on November 20 Mexican Revolution Parade - EVERY town was holding a parade. I remember getting
thru ENS was a lot of work.
That said, it makes sense that SCORE just figured this out - it's not like November 20 Mexican Revolution Parade happens every year or anything.

Surprised that in Ensenada, (or anywhere in Baja) Baja 1000 day doesn't 'trump' a patriotic parade!?? LOL
Maybe Roger Norman should get a Mexican calendar so he can avoid their holidays better?

Along the coast, silt starts around RM420 with a one-mile-long single-lane silt bed at RM435+. I've heard that a 6' deep, 10-20' wide rain rut
parallels the course to the left (for the entire mile) - the rut is a day-ender.

I will be looking for him Geoff and hopefully take a few photos if it's not nighttime. I'll be down by Blanco (race mile 430ish?) in a gray tundra and
will be there in case help is needed.
Watch those silt beds!

DK: I will post detailed maps when I get back, just kidding.
