Along the road over to Kennedy's would probably be a good placed. That's the road just below the word Bowl.

Has anyone been able to locate a GPS file for the course? I'd like to dump it into Google Maps and see what's going on out there.

The ridges above the shadows in this photo will be a great spot for viewing this off road action. Stop in for a beverage after.

My hood, Colonia Puerto Escondido, is found at k17 on carr' Maneadero-LaBuf. East end of hood parking will put you within 1/4-1/2 mile ez hike to ridge above west end of race course.

We have an off-road race in Punta Banda?

I guess we'll have to close all the windows and cover the cars parked outside.

Why not invite newbie del mar to watch race from your deck? Should be able to see entire length of course between turn 13 and 14 (on map) from there.

You won't be seeing much from Udo's place, but if I wanted to get closer, I'd grab a box of beer and head over to Arbolitos....that is, if I were completely insane.

I'm closing all my windows right now. The winds blowing out of the West...race course side.
I can hear the bikes running the trails!
