Gps files came out Thursday 10/22
Go to score to see them.
As usual the start & finish are missing and will be added before the race to avoid prerunner for driving in those locations early.

As A guy from San Felipe Nearby I see the race track using roads I have never used. Besides that the course is very complicated. Kudos to the course
designer. Now I have new places to drive. A good deal

From what I see, the start/finish is not at the usual place. Mile 0 is on the newly constructed free road just north of town, likely to keep the usual
crowds down to a smaller size. Very difficult course with several "gotcha" spots.
Comment from a guy on RaceDeZert:
"I’ve been over the summit a couple of times in races, but I’m not familiar with Cordillera De Molina. What’s that section like?"
Another guy answers:
"Like the Summit but worse and longer, and makes you wish you were driving the summit instead."
But as PaulW points out, they are using different names for the route. Like PaulW, my maps have El Mano. This route does not look as bad as Summit,
but I have not been through El Mano lately and have been over the summit in a Class 16 race car, and preran it in a stock Jeep. That was fun.

Mano is doable and just about any SUV with some road clearance. Not steep, but plenty of washboard. Route finding with regard to locating the
beginning and end is always the biggest issue especially on the Indepencia side.
Cordillera De Molina is mostly whole east side of the Sierra Juarez. From Mano beyond Cahabuzo. Includes Isabel, Palomar, Mora, Guadalupe, etc. It is
a municipality of Mexicali with very few residents and large ranches. Other than destinations mentioned above, the main feature is the road over the
(now locked) race summit past the Pole line Road and north past Cahabuzo then north to highway 2D. East of that road are Arroyo Enmedio and Laguna
Salada. Read about Molina. http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=70872#pid8666... (A very good writeup)
PS, Mono and Mano are two different landmarks. Arroyo Mono is locked up by the rancher. Nice guy but his substantial fencing is required for cattle
protection and control.
