I believe the start of the baja 1000 is in ensenada this week, any of u guys interested in making a day trip? I dont know wether it would be best to ride, or better to take a cage.

Speaking of the Baja 1000, for all your gearheads out there:

Did this three years ago now and am probably going to be doing it again next summer. It's unreal, one of the coolest experiences of my life. Cabo's a dump though, so don't plan to spend extra days vacationing there (in my opinion).

and if you want to stay home on the couch, this film is excellent. but it'll make you want to do the race.

The race begins Thursday morning 11/16. 1st bike team should finish around midnight. Several Husky teams running this year!

For those stuck at work, listening to the Weatherman's radio feed is fascinating. I think this link will get you to his broadcast: http://www.race-dezert.com.

Also, off-road.com follows the race pretty closely and live tracking can be found at www.irctracking.com/#

And you might want to watch "Dust To Glory" to get you in the mood.

Dust To Glory is a great flick as is On Any Sunday and Baja 1000.

Well if the "test track" is $250 I would imagine the four day is at least 1k, maybe more like 2k with hotels? Not a great web site but looks like fun.

Haha, sorry Baron, I wish, but way off. Sad to say that I think the 4-day is like, 3500, and the 7-day is like 5k. You basically have to call them and get an info packet sent to you.

But if you can afford the trip, you won't think it's a waste of money after all's said and done. The price includes all hotels and meals too though so that makes it *slightly* better.

Anyhow... lots of you guys do a lot more crazy motorhead/race stuff than I ever have/will so you might have opportunities to do something similar for cheaper, but I wouldn't bet much on it. Racing through the desert and cactus forests in go-karts with porsche engines is soooo much fun.
