San Felipe 250
This just in.
There will be a San Felipe 250 this year. It will be held south of San Felipe and will not use any land or road that is controlled by The Ejido Plan
National Agrario.
I have not seen a map of the course yet just the description I gave above.

Someone on Race-Dezert showed a map from the 2001 SF250 that was south of town, 208 miles total.

That map from 2001 looks like it goes thru Ejido Plan National Agririo lands to me.

SCORE site shows course map still under construction and TWs huge SCORE press release post announces start in usual location.
IMO Ejido owners have either gotten in Sals pocket as TT possibly predicted or the pressure of lost tax and merchant revenue has gotten the Gov to
back down on the University land issue.
The show will go on with the usual drama.

A member of the Ejido board told me that the problem is with Ensenada Tourist bureau that distributes land use money, not Score itself. They believe
Score pays the money but it doesn't get to them. This was before the University land problems came to a head.

Martin just talked to the Chamber of Commerce here in San Felipe and was told that the course will be the same as it was in 2001. Groupo Cajon and
Groupo Matomi have agreed to the use of land they control for the race. It's gonna be the San Felipe 208.8

The course map post by Surfer Jim I think shows that Sal wouldn't deal with the Owners north of town. Won't hurt the racers any but cuts off alot of
the traditional spector areas. Those washes all hide way more big gotcha rocks after the big rains year before last. Carnage will be big for those
who don't pre-run.

Por Favor -- slow down as chase vehicles and friends travel the Puertecitos road South, which parallels the race course. LOTS OF UNFORGIVING DIPS ON
THIS PAVED, and excellent ROAD!!!
Ejido Delicias has a Poblado at KM 35.5 -
Clinica San Pablo - 2 Doctors (on West side of road, next to Chelo's Restaurant (they have some gas & diesel, ice, food to go, etc.)
(on the West side of road)
Marina's and Isabel's Restaurants are in the Poblado -
2 food stands; hardware store, tire shop (taller) on East side of the road; a new dry campground "OVERNIGHT CAMPING"; and 2 grocery stores.
They all look forward to the Race and your business!

Any suggestions on good SF 250 viewing/camping locations in the GENERAL vicinity of Bahia Santa Maria. I realize the route doesnt go out there, but we
wanted to stay near there in anticipation of meeting some friends. What about inside Azufre/ Parral?

That's where we will be, great action at that spot. 4 miles from my Beach House.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

In looking at the map again, it is coming much closer to Bahia Santa Maria! In fact, using half of the distance of the BSM entrance road between the
old Puertecitos road and Hwy. 5! It is coming north from almost La Roca's road on Hwy. 5 and then northwest on the old La Roca entrance road, crossing
the old Nuevo Mazatlan entrance road and then joining the old Bahia Santa Maria road for 2 miles back to the old Puertecitos road, on the northbound
leg!

We are arriving in San Felipe Wednesday 3/7/07 with a 24' motorhome and 18' enclosed trailer. As of now we plan to stay in the overflow at Pete's.
But I would like to find something a little less crowed. Do need showers/bathrooms. Six guys are too much for the holding tanks. We will have a chase
truck to get back and forth from town. Anybody have a reccomendation?
The DirtDogs are # 312X and # 407X , say hi if you see us!
Chase Trucks? ??
We don\'t need no stinking chase trucks!

The map------
-----this is really not race related, but what I find fasinating is that there are apparently two more east/west ways into the Valle Chico from the
east than I was aware of.
Azufre (Parral) canyon I WAS aware of, and in fact have been thru, and camped in there, twice.
But I was totally unaware that you could drive thru the Sierra San Felipe via "Huatamote" wash, and now another "pass" (?) called "Chanate" just south
of Huatamote???.
This alone is an excuse to make it down there to do some more exploring. I have long suspected that one could make it thru Huatamote, but this
"Chanate" is totally new to me.
I assume that most of the San Felipe crowd knew of these vehicle tracks??

i would imagine EVERYTHING will be crowded anywhere near town. Pete's doesnt have a shower/head complex?

Indeed you can travel thru the Sierra San Felipe thru both the Chanote and Huatamote. But be aware - all Mexican maps have the Chanote to the north
and the Huatamote to the south - reversed from what Score calls them - so if you talk to people in San Felipe you gotta make sure they understand
which one you're talking about.
