Love San Ignacio!!!!

We ate lunch at a Cafe across the street from there on one of our trips to Baja. Thanks for the memories!

 

[dirtslinger2]

All these pre-run photos, videos, and social media posts are killing me.

I was supposed to start this race, but son and his wife are expecting their first baby, and our first grandchild this weekend, so I got shut down on racing.

Keep the pictures coming, and good luck.

San Ignacio is a really cool little town. The entire population it seemed came out last night to kick off the Baja 1000 and celebrate with the Ampudia team. Was super fun.

Where are you running up to today? It's weird to say "up" as typically, you'd be heading down from San Ignacio.
I've raced from Vizcaino down to Loreto a couple times, but definitely not the other way.

 

[rivrrts429]

It’s very weird to be going North lol

We’re pre running from Lareto back up to San Ignacio today. I’ve done it going southbound multiple times but not Northbound so want to make sure we are good in that portion.

 

[rivrrts429]

I can tell you these little towns have more money in crews and race teams. It’s amazing how much the people love and appreciate the race teams.

 

[MonkeyButt70]

Here are my sons Cole and Cooper that headed out yesterday.

Those may be your Good Luck Mutts

 

[Mikes56]

Since it’s a one-way race and not a loop, it’s gonna be great to be close to the border when the race is over. It’s a 3 day drive towing all your shit after partying for a week and not sleeping because of the race, when going the other way.

Dammit I wish I was going!

 

[rivrrts429]

Well, pre run vehicle decided to act grumpy and cut our day short. It’s an electrical gremlin with the power steering. Talked to a bunch of Polaris gurus and shops are busy replacing these units.

Gotta keep heading south and follow the teams to the start in La Paz.

We know our portion(s) fairly well but running this first leg at night we wanted to take one last look.

Never a dull moment in Baja. The mechanic and welding shops are packed in Lareto getting last minute repairs.

 

[rivrrts429]

Those may be your Good Luck Mutts

Not yet, see my post a minute ago

We’ll take any luck we can use during the actual race so I’m going with your comment and those dogs will bless us during the race lol.

It’s all good. Nobody gets out of this unscathed. Literally nobody.

I think Fishgistics podcast was talking 35% attrition rate. Lots of cars won’t make the 1300 miles into Ensenada and finish.

 

[Wayn-o]

im getting a chubby, I want to go now!

Is this the first time the course has been running south to north?

 

[rivrrts429]

Is this the first time the course has been running south to north?

Yes, first time. The Baja 2000, in 2000 was 1800+ miles and it came south but still began in Ensenada and went down and then back up.

This is the first time it’s ever started in La Paz and ended in Ensenada, 1300 miles.

 

[Cooter01]

Good luck to everyone!

2 comparisons on projected timing. Fishgistics has it about 55 mph average and Score has it closer to 60 mph average. The 60 is common for penninsula runs but there is a ton of silt by Loreto and between Bay of LA and Catavina, then all the sandy whooped washes by San Felipe that will slow it down. I am guessing its closer to 58.
At best, TTs will be at our pit at RM 1070 at 2:50 AM. Expecting the class 1 cars 5 AM. Hoping to get some bettert intel once the guys are done prerunning tomorrow.

 

[FCT]

Awesome. Best of luck and be safe

Holler back if you or @rivrrts429 can advise best day / time to hit Ensenada for Trophy Truck finishes.... I'm only a 45 min drive away and just would post up near a Ensenada location where I can park truck on dirt by a final runway jump or such.... thinking Friday cause I hear construction on toll road takes it down to one lane but open to advice. Thanks and best of luck.

They expect them to finish Friday morning between 7 and 8:30. Timing stops outside town and they drive slowly into town from there. If you can go out to Ojos Negros maybe an hour East of Ensenada, you can see them at race speed. Right where it shows pre run end is where it will cross Hwy 3.

Thats the hook up I was searching for .... Thanks bud!

Here's what I found mapping wise to help us out finding a spot to watch.... Ojos Negros is only short drive out the 3 east from Ensenada so I'll wander out and see if I can find that crossing point.

We are pre running a 50 mile section outside of Lareto one more time today/tonight then it’s race day tomorrow. Car should leave the start between 10:30-10:40 tomorrow morning. We’ll hop in the car at mile 300ish.

Let’s goooooo #1914

Yes, first time. The Baja 2000, in 2000 was 1800+ miles and it came south but still began in Ensenada and went down and then back up.

This is the first time it’s ever started in La Paz and ended in Ensenada, 1300 miles.

the Baja 2000 didnt come back north.
It started in Ensenada and the finish was in Cabo. The finish was at the bull ring.

that was a hell of a race to crew.

I got to thinking about it after I posted it. Thanks for the correction. I don’t know why I thought it went down and back up. Either way that was a hell of a race with 30% attrition of vehicles.

Appreciate the clarification

With 80 hours to finish you had time to go back to san diego fix your car and keep racing. I was with TSCO we finished 2nd in class 1 we were partying for 4 days and cars were still coming in

Friends in low places came through and made the drive down with a new electric power steering assembly. Helps to be connected in the industry.
