F that. I hate Mexico. My buddy got shot while prerunning that race several years back. He made it, but barely. We're trying to get him to write a book about it.
BTW, Cameron Steele was instrumental in saving my friend's life, so thank you Cam if you ever read this.

I heard the same thing - That there are just as many nice places to ride in the USA that are much safer than Mexico and Baja is not as favored as a ride anymore. Insurance ? JCR ? Etc.

This is such an epic and legendary race though such a pity. Dakar is no longer in Dakar. Baja has to be in Baja. What going on with the world ?

It has become very expensive to race a motorcycle on a Baja 1000 course that is better suited for 4-wheel vehicles. The course this year is very underwhelming.
As a result, there are 45 motorcycles entered in the race. That is less than half of what it used to be.

Couldn't care less. Wish bike guys would just quit going, we've lost enough and from what I hear at this point SCORE could really care less whether they are there or not.

Sucks to hear about your friend, but people get shot in the US everyday. Do you hate the US? I got shot here, and I still love this country....
I'll be a backup next year. Can't wait to get down there again.

It is a bummer the Mil has lost some of its luster for the two wheel crowd. But I still love it, Mexico, and Baja. I've been going to Baja every year for decades to ride, fish, and windsurf. I'll be leading 30 dirtbikers down again this winter for my annual fix.

The border and the border culture has changed. No way to deny it. You absolutely should be aware. Stuff does happen, its not urban myth. But beyond the border and deeper south, its still the Mexico I have been experiencing and loved since a teen. While I have had a few bad experiences over the decades, for the most part they have been overwhelming good. There are some places and things I no longer do.... same can be said other countries, even my own. I still go because I experience some of the friendliest, helpful and generous people I have ever encountered.

Its a huge, populous, and diverse country just like our own US of A. Tough to paint any country so large and so populous with one stroke of the brush.

While I dont and never did have the skill or support to race the Mil, I've always been a fan. I'm like a kid in awe still when I run into some of those that have competed in it at the highest levels. Someday I may do the NORRA Mexican 1000. Seems to be a little more achievable for the average rider like myself.

Baja F' Yeh!

I just meant "l second that".

Have you heard anything about someone "buying" SCORE from Roger?

The injured Colton Udall celebrates a new victory in the Baja 1000


Entonada, Baja California - Colton Udall injured his collarbone one day before seeking his third win in Baja 1000, but his teammates OX Motorsports did it for him. And they did well.

Therefore, when they arrived as unofficial winners of the 49th edition of Score International's event, the favorite of the category Pro Moto Unlimited recognized "the great team" that counts.

"It's not just me. Mark (Samuels), David (Kamo) and Justin (Jones) did it terrifically, "he said at the end of the 854-mile course after midnight Saturday over the goal on Ensenada's coastal boulevard.
