I recently spoke with a SDAR member who hadn't seen this superb Baja 1000 film. I found a full length version on youtube so here you to amigo! Note that the race footage is from 2003 - pre GoPro so the helmet cam perspective was pretty revolutionary for most the audience. For those who haven't seen it or haven't seen it lately, enjoy!

The next Baja 1000 is a penninsula run from Ensenada/Ojos Negros to La Paz Nov 12-16th.

Actually, this years race officially starts in Ojos and ends in La Paz. I'll be in Loreto to watch it pass by.

Thanks for the link!

Woops, I've corrected the La Paz finish in my previous post. The map says Ensenada for the start? I can't imagine them passing the opportunity to launch the racers in front of Ensenada crowds and take the side road to Ojos then continue south from there? Btw you'll be in Loreto? Nice! You ride down there a lot! Please share some pics and a report when you're back.

Thanks for posting, but to watch that movie in 240p would be an insult to the everyone that worked so hard to create that cinematic gem. To whomever hasn't seen it, find the DVD, borrow, rent, buy, it's worth watching, but not at that paltry resolution.

Correct, the ceremonial start is in Ensenada but they don't hit dirt until the Tres Hermanos route in Ojos. It's the standard beginning to the 1000.
