No Rumors! It's true!
The course will be heading east, just north of fish camp and heading to HWY 1.
Then south until the cutoff.
I believe that brings the total of miles for the race to just over 800!

?Can you say Putz?

Hwy. 1 sooner. That road reaches Hwy. One, 8 miles north of Catavina. Then, it will run on Hwy. 1 for 40 miles to Chapala. |

MAJOR RACE COURSE CHANGE EFFECTIVE 11/15/03
Due to impassible silt and the western part of the Chapala Lakebed now currently underwater, the race course has changed as follows:
At mile 392.3 (race notes line #234), the race course will continue straight (NOT LEFT) and go into a different Fish Camp. There will be a SCORE
full-stop checkpoint at this new Fish Camp. After the Checkpoint, the new race course will head north and join the 1998 Baja 1000 course.
The new race course travels backwards on the 1998 Baja 1000 course for approximately 47 miles, and then turns right (south) onto HWY 1 at KM 168. The
new race course runs on the highway for approximately 41 miles and makes a left turn off HWY 1 at KM 233 Chapala.
The new race course merges with the original course at the HWY KM 233 Chapala turnoff.
Follow the original race course on to Coco?s Corner and north to San Felipe as planned.
This course change adds approximately 40 miles to the course, for a total race distance of 805 miles.

Saw some m/c racers heading for Ensenada today in Oceanside...
I hope everyone going to the Baja 1000 has a grand time!
From Friday morning to Saturday the excitement will be in North Baja for the 805 mile race.
