I made a drive from San Dimas CA to a cute beach town not far from San Ignacio in 15 hours. left at 3:30 in the am and had camp set up before the sun went down, that includes the the swap meet awning. Given the time of year making it to San Ignacio in a day is very doable. Plan to be in the Santo Tomas valley at sunrise. If it's your first time down plan on 2 days, Mexico does run at a different pace. Some things just take longer.
Just a note, the better whale interactions seem to be better the later in the season. Beginning late Feb and in to March.

Thanks for all of the useful information. Even though I didn't ask for driveing tips they are appreciated as we have never driven douth of the blow hole! As for paperwork, we have FM-3's and will be deparing from our place south of Rosarito. I originally planned on making the drive in one day but now we will take two days each way. This trip is for fun and relaxation, not an endurance contest.

Mike99 has it right about whale interactions being better late in february and march...san ignacio is just starting to get whales in february.
Just a suggestion, why dont you go out to see whales in Ojo de Liebre out of Guerrero Negro at one of the hotels there...Caracoles or Malarimmo or Cowboy Hotel, Marios...it is wonderful there in february but try to avoid presidents day weekend if you can....it's packed. then you can continue on to san ignacio that afternoon and go out in san ignacio lagoon as well...the two are very different and it would be fun to do them both.

Shari makes a great suggestion. Especially since the experience is amazingly different. And Guerrero Negro and San Ignacio are only 90 miles apart.
