50th Anniversary of the Baja 1000

2017 marked the 50th anniversary of arguably the toughest off-road race in the World! Stretching from Ensenada to La Paz, racers travel across some of the most intense terrain this planet has to offer along the Mexican Peninsula.

No matter the obstacles that lie ahead, all of the racers have one thing on their mind... WINNING!

Congrats on Trophy Truck #1, a non-sponsored team beating the big name factory sponsored team with big name drivers and bigger budgets. Talk about being the underdog.

Pre-running and chasing for these races (especially the 1000) are always the highlights of my year. Can’t wait to go back next year!

I ran in the 1967, 68 and 69 races, rough to say the least and a lot of great people . i'm glad it's still going and good luck to all.

From my perspective view, I believe that the Baja 1000 is far out the most legendary race in the world.
My dream would be is to see a live event.
Just the atmosphere would be astronomical and breathtaking.
My respects to all races testing they're endurance and test out new racing technology.
Take care and God bless!!!

I find it hard enough to drive from BC to BCS every year on the paved roads!
This is really amazing!

"Due to a speed violation." Tell it like it actually is - they were reckless and severely injured a spectator at the finish line.

I raced the Ocala, FL Enduro, row 3, on my line was Larry Roeseler and Ty Davis, late 1990's! Larry amazed me at every check, he stranded on his pegs as if he was talking to someone, almost at a dead stop, in line waiting to get scored. After a grueling 80 plus miles he never sat on his seat even one time in that deep sand whoops. I won my class that day, trying to keep up with those amazing athletes.

Motorsports are life! Cars and Bikes...every type of them! This guys risk their life at every corner

To me the real heroes are the dudes on bikes, they don't have a co driver, they don't have helmet ventilation and cooled jackets. They don't have 4 wheels with 3 feet of suspension travel. It's just them, a bike and a big tank of fuel.... and some gynormous balls.
