Cool map.

Looks like Pete's Camp is going to be the place to be, or not.

Actually the race is on the Pole Line Road from around VP-107, on south, for a ways... Just not the part of you famous 4WD run... that is so fun to do!

Start details with WPs removed


My best analysis:
S from the EDR Pavilion thru the S gate into Petes open area. Then S on Hwy5 to the paved road going west at the storage area. Then north on the powerline road (blue)

Return from the S to the paved road at the powerline then sane track to the Petes area and finish (lavender).

The green track is southbound toward the finish

Update start finish with more reliable sources

S from the EDR Pavilion thru the S gate into Petes open area. Then South on Hwy5 paved road South to a dirt road and turn west. Dirt road just past the Llantera near the old SF Brewery. Then proceed west thru the ejido to the power line road north. (blue track).

Return from the South on the powerline road and return using the same track to the Petes open area and finish (lavender track).

Access to Petes camp will be restricted and if allowed by security then use the south road past the race track road (which will use the main road entrance to Petes).

RM 440 Azufre - eastbound

Not used Matomi and Borrego and Arrajal
