Baja 100 and pre run
i see on the Tecate Baja 1000 site , that the route will go thru San Felipe to Coco's then south...pre running is open after Oct 7th....2 questions:
a) Is the pre running an issue for regular travelers (thinking Oct 18 and 22?
b) Anyone been down there to spectate in the Gonzaga area during the actual race?
any tips ?
Mike

the course map is not very clear that it goes thru the road at pemex and rancho grande store like 2003.
anyone with road experience can see where it goes actually and post a ref to the almanac road map? this looks like a job for DK?

Capt.Mikey
do you think the "pre-running" that opens in October will have any effect on our travels (Oct 18-23)?

Stay well away from the race. If steel doesn't get you the dust will.

Dizzy: Prerunning shouldnt present hazards for travelers, but DONT be driving on Mex 1 during the race. Nutzoid aholes in chase trucks on the highway
doing 90 with empty car carrier trailers bouncing all over the road. Ain't worth your life.

thx DK but what i was hoping for is you take the course along gonzaga and blow it up on one of your maps to confirm if it runs the road in front of
rancho grande's store where we watched TT at 100 + mph blaring thru HIDs smokin'!!

Looks like the course will remain just east of the sulphur mine south of San Felipe. That's where we'll be for spectating. 4.2 miles from our place at
Playa Hermosa.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Please use extreme caution on Mex 1 from now on...many have had close calls with pre running vehicles who tend to drive very fast on the highway
making conditions extra hazardous as they come up on you FAST and pass fast too...lots more accidents during the race with pre running trucks zooming
around and often towing trailers that weave all over the place.

Right, as there is no other road north/ south near Rancho Grande... those dumb runways cut across the older road south!
