ZW to Race Baja 1000?

By Zac on Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Confirmation. Yes. I will be attending this year’s Tecate SCORE BAJA 1000! One of Americas greatest races begins on Nov. 20th and ends on the 23rd. I will be competing on a TRX450 R Under Transworld’s QUAD Magazine team. Desert racing is all new to me and am looking forward to the experience. Ill place more details as they come expect some exciting info! In the mean time here is a quote that the chief race marshal states at the beginning of the event. 

“You’re about to experience a most incredible adventure. You must expect at all times to encounter oncoming traffic. You must be alert that there are many cows, calves, bulls, horses, and goats roaming freely on and around the course. All competitors are reminded that off-road racing is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or even death. Due to weather, animals, and people, [we] do not guarantee that all [course] markings will still be up on race day. Be advised that spectators on or near the racecourse may engage in malicious activities by building ramps, digging ditches, and/or placing objects onto the course. Once the race starts, it’s outta my hands–you’re on your own, or, in other words, the lunatics will, indeed, be running the asylum. Good luck and have fun!” 

Live race progress can be viewed here Baja Live Race Tracking on the 21st and 22nd. I will be on team #3A in the pro ATV class.

If you ever get a chance to watch the movie Dust to Glory do so. Im sure this as close to the race as you can possibly get without actually being there and at the same time makes you realize that you can not capture a miniscule portion of the event’s reality.
