The map was posted in the Off Roading forum here... almost a month ago: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=95178
Restricted access to the racers and no contingency, just tech inspection in a fenced compound to keep crowds from happening.

Small field means everyone wins.
I remember the good old days of BRA (Baja Racing Assoc)
I can't remember old Bill's last name, but he was the boss man.
We won a BRA race, the Laguna Salada 200 !!
OK, there were only two in the pickup class,
but hey, a win is a win,
Still have the trophy way up on a top shelf

Did the other truck get a "participation trophy"
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!

The 1975 BRA Baja 300 at Santo Tomás was fun, the start and end was in the El Palomar campground. I went down following Class 5 racer Mark Hansen of
Escondido. We did a pre run of the lap the day before the race.
One racer broke down and borrowed a rancher's horse to ride back to the start for help... with his fire suit and helmet on!

I drove with my old partner Darold in "Old Blue" pickup.
My memory is that we made several loops out and around to the coast and back
Also how dusty the campground was at El Palomar
And how steep that hill was behind the hotel
Coming down it was a real adventure.
We found a biker that had crashed and was really banged up, close to the end of a loop
We tossed him (not the bike) in the bed of the truck and told him to hang on, safely dumped him back at start/finish.
It was his choice to hang on back there, we told him we would send help but he asked for the ride back so we cheerfully complied.
(So, what was old Bill's last name? The guy who owned BRA)

I have no idea about the management of BRA... I was 17 and there for fun... Yes, it was many 50+ mile loops to the coast and back to make 300 miles...
Funny about how we were both there at the same time, 45 years ago!

From where does the 1000 start? At the compound?

The map and the schedule of activities were unclear.

Yes, up on the new Libramiento de Ensenada... Only people directly connected for the race can get in close, due to the China virus.
Best to find a good location to view down the course somewhere. Since it loops around a lot, you can move a short distance to watch in multiple
places... Just DO NOT drive on the course after they have passed, especially the wrong way!

Maybe you should turn off Fox News and check out the race yourself Just
remember to wear a mask and social distance.

Since the Chinese communist party owns the Biden family, no surprise! |
He only stopped Chinese citizens entering USA. After the ban, he let over 100,000 Americans enter USA from Asia, and did not quarantine them,... many
came home infected and spread the trump plague....
Woke!
