Thread: Baja 1000

Who's going?? I have a full truck, we're staying at the desert inn in Ensenada. Not pitting or racing this race just goin for fun and watching all the good spots. If anyone wants to caravan out I'll be leaving that Thursday early around 6 from chino.

I'm racing in Class 3, 304, I'm driving the San Felipe loop.

Heading down Weds some time. Chasing everything but the last section on the Pacific. Gonna be good times.

Totally legal! the leaf pack(s) is installed in that pic.

Looks like a solid leaf peak there-_-

Me and Nick will be racing this truck from the start to about 100, then taking over at zoo road up to Valley T. Should be a fun time. See you at home Slater, i mean club paris...

good luck to everyone racing. be safe, and have a lot of fun.

Think outside the box. The truck has raced with and without the leafs installed. And its not a very big one. Check it out at tech with new paint and sponsorship.

haha see you there jonny!!!

Naw I know, should be fun watching someone give Moss a run for his money for once. Is it Baja time yet?

I can't wait to start prerunning....

Life's a bitch. I'm from Ensenada, but will be in a business trip @ San Clemente on those exact dates, weekend included. ARGH.

Found myself a solution: I'll quit, haha.

You mean the fun, stressfree part of Mexico? Haha. I think Im gonna take an extra day off and blast the coast section a few times just for fun since Ive only run the inland part the last year.

I'll be "stuck" in San Felipe for the next few weekends. Oh darn.....

Hardest part is getting my retard friends to come down and chase us. Even if it doesn't cost them anything. LOL

Its gonna be rough, rocky, and hot but not 500 hot, someone in the first limited classes will get stuck, there will be a log jam after fried clutches, and the nationals will have their 4x4 Toyotas at the top strapping people who cant quite make it up the hill for a few 20 dollar bills.

How do you guys get to the coast to pre run? Me and my friends want to do some coast sections on our bikes.
Might be a stupid question but i've never ridden south of Ensenada.

Go south on the 1 to RM 550ish, youll see the vineyard road on your left, go just south of that (technically that short stretch of highway is the course) and maybe a mile after that youll go right on a dirt road that takes you out to the beach. You can run that north to Santa Tomas and it drops you right behind the Palomar restaurant down the hill from the Ivan shortcut. Thats really the only coast run, everything after that works back inland towards Ojos and has some pretty gnarly silt hills. I might head down there early on Wednesday and run it.

Well worth the trek down for the ride

Agreed. The last time I rode that section was when the course went north from the vineyard to the silt hill on the way to the beach. Been a while. Im still not 100% on making it down there on Weds but if that works and you guys can make it that early Id be down to ride with you guys.

It took Lyle like 3 or 4 hours to go retrieve the truck around RM177 in the Storm Trooper at the 500 this year. So from the highway it was about 15 miles and it took that long. That long back loop is pretty F'ed. Bring some spare tires for sure
