The bigger and better part of the “Happiest Race On Earth!” will be a second event that will be held October 10th-13th of 2019; the NORRA 500! Based in Ensenada, Baja California Mexico, the event will be family-friendly event that will offer two separate and concurrent 250 mile race courses starting and finishing in front of the Riviera Convention Center.

Cars and Bikes will be separated appropriately and then switch courses on the second race day. Each evening the NORRA team will offer locally inspired hospitality starting with happy hour events and concluding with dinner. The event’s unique format is intended reduce complicated planning and logistics and create an event that racers new and old can easily manage.

NORRA introduced the original "Baja 500" in 1969. Fittingly, 50 years later, NORRA has decided to revamp it as the NORRA 500 - in a two day rally format to compliment the success of its annual Mexican 1000.

"Only a $500 deposit"!!
Any idea what the total entry fee will be? Afraid to ask.

Back in the day (yeah, I know us oldtimers talk like this) we ran the last couple years of NORRA where the total entry fee was less than that.

Great fun back then, you could build your rig at home and be competitive.
