David U2U or email me your radio frequency and the Trophy Truck and class 1 numbers and I'll give you a heads up when they go by. After most of the
fast cars go by we'll leave for your pit.

TW,
If El Crucero is at rm 320 +/-, how can the hill you mention be at rm 221 (per your earlier post)? It must be further north?
I remember an access road that north of El Crucero that sounds like the one you decscibed at km 251. Only 5.5 miles sounds close enough to the hwy to
work.
I will be down in that area scouting photo locations before the race.
>> I have El Crucero at km 257 on the hwy.

I'm so jealous that you all get to go watch the 1000 this year. I will unfortunately be staying home and listening to the weatherman on the computer.
My husband is racing so I will be a nervous wreck as always!
Have fun all of you!

LaTijereta, I should have said RM321 sorry, and that is the access road that you spoke of.
Bajawife, good luck to your husband and sorry you won't be down to see the action first hand.

Mike, I hear there will be a new longer space between the last m/c and the first truck... increased from 1 to a new 3 hours gap.
That means the first Trophy Trucks won't begin until about 11 am!
L.A. Bay (Checkpoint 5) is race mile 377.... soooo about 6-7 hours to get there for the fastest...
Class 22 open bikes: Noon to 1 pm+ for the first...
Trophy Trucks: 5pm to 6pm and on through the rest of the night from then!

well, that may change my plans if i don't get hooked with a TT team, could just hang there for the nite i guess. if the 1st guys get there at dusk
they'll be plenty coming all night, all trucks catagories i guess. better sort out a place to camp/watch etc.
then on to mulege fri/sat., easy stuff.

For TV that would work out well for the finish. With the TTs leaving at 11am, it will take them around 17 hours to La Paz putting them at the finsh at
around 7am Pacific time. But since La Paz in on Mtn time it will be around 8am local. With the morning light a helo could follow the lead cars/trucks
into La Paz. The bikes on the other hand will get there around 11:30pm pacific time. That's still time to party. The bikes will be running about
6+hours in the dark and the car/trucks 13+. Of course some of those TTs look like a football stadium lit up.
In 1995 the first bike averaged over 63mph and the first Trophy Truck also 63mph. The bike beat the truck by 3 minutes. I personally think the trucks
will beat the bikes this year with Honda racing the CRF450 and not a XR650. I think the winning bike will be lucky to average over 60mph. This course,
with a few exceptions, is a wide open pin the throttle course.

I think it will be 17 hours. At 16 hours they would average 65.5mph. I don't think they can do that. 17 hours would be 61.65mph. very doable.

I would think the 17hr run is more likley, but that is more like 4am (racetime) and 5am "local" time in La Paz (well after they run out of Tecate at
the finishline!)
David
Sunset at El Crucero is pegged for 4:45pm (racetime) on that date...We will be there until 6pm+/-, before pulling out for Loreto.

If this is true, first I have heard of it, limiteds will be leaving the start mid affternoon, putting them into the dark at Diablo or sooner? Light
bars at Kiliwas? In a five sixteen car we made old/new Puertecitos Road before dark on a simialar cource. Could Be a long night for a lot of chase
dudes. With a 9am start last year our Sporty car did'nt leave till noon thirty, made the summit in the daylight. It would make a rough chase for a
lot of guys two long days and nights of racing. Glad I will be at COCO's instead of down south on Mex 1. Reminds of my first baja chase at the Dos
Mil.

Mike...
Two things this year will make for a later finish than 2004.
New Loreto section added is about 62 miles
Later start time for 4-wheel cars (9:30 to 10:30)
Should push the finish back to around 4am (race time)

Thanks Lou... for the update.... It was Carlos of Baja Pits who told us last Thursday at the pit meeting about the new 3 hour seperation from the last
m/c / quad to the first truck and the rest... It was his belief that would put the first trucks out at 11 am... So, it will be 10:30am... great!
