SF250 Race
I was told that the race course was announced on the weekly SCORE web show a couple of days ago.
Arches to Zoo Rd north crossing hwy 3 east of Borrego, north to the Saldana area (south end of Laguna Salada) then south to Borrego to Morelia Jct.
From there south to one or two of the washes north of Matomi but no running Matomi. I guess getting the rocks moved in Matomi was harder than
expected.

I'm sure that course will have plenty of coarse sand and gravel.

Back in the 90s this was the usual race course except they ran up the coast starting north of El Dorado Ranch then cross hwy 5 at El Chinero and take
what is now used by CODE to what was called the Oasis then turn west and south on the Baja 1000 course back to Borrego.

Your welcome, someone turned me on to this site a while back and I have used it several times for "research".

Ateo's link:
The course is 254 miles long, and there looks to be a new area going around Borrego Mountain, instead of down Borrego Wash?

Here is a Google Earth version with only using every 10 race miles. Also note the Sportman Bikes will run 200 miles. They cross over from Ck 1 to CK 2
on the top end and from CK 3 to CK 4 on the bottom end.
Also note the new section coming around C. el Arrajal.
Above Hwy 3
Below Hwy 3

Thanks Tom, that's much easier to see! I am interested in Race Mile 120 to 130... never saw a road there before, and you know I have been looking in
the region, lol!
Here is the link to SCORE for the Google Earth map:

That's a new section they added. You better pack up the Tacoma and get some Nomads to help look for the Diaz grave. When do you want to leave?

I'll be down there for the race. Just waiting to see where we'll be pitting. Maybe I'll see some Nomads?
