2019 Baja 1000 Map and Discussion
EDIT MONDAY 10-21-19: Course Change. No more La Rumorosa. Stay tuned for an updated map. See it in this video: https://www.facebook.com/fishgistics/videos/569541263802534/
RACE DAY is Friday NOV. 22. Bikes begin racing, starting at 3:00 AM and the vehicles (Trophy Trucks first) begin racing, starting at 10:30 AM. The
race is about 800 miles long with the fastest racers doing 50 mph average or a bit more. So, it will be approx. 16 hours of racing for them. The
slowest classes, will be out there for a couple of days!
The new course map:

Hey David. Can you tell me where I can get this map
online. When I enlarge your image it's a bit blurry.
Thanks

What determines who uses the sportsman short cuts? Different class of vehicles, or different class of competitors?
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Sportsman classes are separate classes, lower entry fee. A way to get into off-road racing without being a millionaire.

Watching them @ full tilt boogie @ #360.
Is a guaranteed Baja state of mind experience; the trip to get there, the speed spectacle and all the different type race teams going 10/10.

Great spot to view. Sad Jose is no longer selling beer at his shack. Heard he went to live with family in Mexicali.

I am bummed of the few times I drove on Diablo Dry Lake, I never saw or visited this little business... Do we know when he was operating there? 2006
and 2004 were the last two times for me, I think?

My friend, Cliff lives right next to the San Quintin Wash at Hwy 1 and they will pass by him.
Any guess as to the times the various riders will go by (I know the Cycles and Opens are the fastest)?
Thinking about going down to observe
Alan
His house is right before the 200 mark on the map

The fastest will be there around 4 hours from when they start, some sooner. So 7 am for most of the fastest bikes and 2:30 pm for the first of the
fastest trophy trucks. A lot of things could change this guess... but 50 mph average for the fastest vehicles is usually spot on... but be in place 30
minutes before that.
