So, you want to race baja? Share

Racing the SCORE Baja 1000 is something that any quad or motorcycle racer probably mentions or thinks of. It is most likely thought about as some crazy pipe dream that will never happen but I believe any experienced racer who wants to can and should do it (after gaining the necessary racing experience). I have had the chance to race it several times, 08 Baja 1000, 09 Baja 500 (winners), 09 Baja 1000, 2011 500, 2012 250. I am by no means a Baja expert but I wanted to share my experiences and opinions in hopes that this helps others compete in this awesome ‘bucket list’ type event. Desert racing is my favorite hobby, I have been doing Whiplash desert races in Arizona for a few years, winning the Sr Pro ATV Championship in 2009. I wrote this article with quad racers in mind since that is where my experience lies but all of the general info can easily be applied to motorcyclists.

If you want to experience Baja in a more laid back environment I recommend the NORRA Mexican 1000. It is a multi day event with several stages with opportunity to fix your machine between each stage.

The baja races are very special, there aren’t many other places where you will experience such a variety of terrain in one race and the tens of thousands of fans that think of every racer as Michael Jordan. Doing this race can be expensive but it is possible to do it relatively cheaply. Be warned, in order to get your money’s worth from the race you need to come prepared otherwise your race can end early.  If you want to get started in Baja I recommend the Baja 500 as your first race.  The logistics are simpler, entry fees cheaper, less chase mileage and you shouldn't have to worry about night racing IF things go smoothly.

I highly recommend against trying any of the baja races as your first foray into racing or endurance racing.  You have to remember in baja the trophy trucks and buggies are racing on the same course and you can be caught and you can be hurt if you do not have the necessary experience or speed to keep from getting caught.  This happened at the 2010 Baja 500 when a motorcycle rider was run over by a trophy truck.  He was lucky to survive.  The leading trophy trucks caught up to him on the high speed dirt road leading to Mike's Sky Ranch.  The speed of the trucks on this road is 100-130mph, an average bike is going 70-90mph.  The rider correctly pulled over for a truck but then pulled back onto the course once the truck had passed, however another extremely fast trophy truck was coming up behind the first truck and he had no way of seeing the motorcycle and tragedy struck.  Prior to doing baja everyone should get some experience with endurance racing and how to avoid these situations.  Do some races where the trucks and buggies do not share the course with the bikes and quads.

Online resources:
Race Dezert- Biggest desert racing site on the net, full of helpful people, many of the top racers are members here and they post regularly.
Baja.net-(Off-road.org) #1 online resource for anything baja racing related. The forums have many of the previous years course maps, GPS files, press releases, entry lists, results etc. You can also get up to date race information from other racers.  This site is run by racers for racers.

SCORE International Organizers/promoters of the Baja 1000, 500 and San Felipe 250.
Bing- One of the few mapping sites that provide directions in Mexico.  This link will take you to the page that has many of the spots I have used in the past.

Classes and Rules
There are 4 classes to choose from for ATV’s:
Class 25: Open Pro (anything goes, no limits on anything)
Class 24: Pro under 450cc (450cc limit on the engine, any other mod is fine)
Sportsmen ATV: Sportsmen skill level.  (anything goes, sportsmen skill level riders).
Class 26: Utility ATV, they a few rules and limitations, get a rule book to learn more.

If you don't have a team of experts and pros then I recommend doing the sportsmen class.  However if you have expert or pro level riders of any kind (even MX) then enter one of the pro classes.  In desert racing there really aren't many limitations on the machines. You could run a Chevy V-8 engine in class 25 and I doubt anybody would care.  You can have as many people on a team that you would like but every rider past 4 costs a small fee of $25ish.  The rider of record has to start the race.

The big rule is you CAN NOT change the engine or the frame during the race. Anything else is ok. They will mark your engine case with a paint mark to ensure you don't cheat and swap engines if you blow yours. You could do a full engine rebuild on the side of the trail if you wanted, as long as you use the same engine case.

Entry Fees- Pro classes pay a few hundred more per race because of the prize money they can win.  The Pro classes also start a few classes ahead of the sportsmen ATV classes. The sportsmen ATV and Class 26 are usually the last classes to leave the line and then the 3 hour countdown starts for when the trophy trucks start.  Here is an entry fee breakdown based on the 2010 Baja 1000 Prices.  The Baja 500 would be a few hundred less in entry fees and probably about $75 less for baja pits.

IRC Tracker- All racers must run the IRC tracker, they are $125ish to rent, they use it to make sure you don't exceed 60mph on the highway sections and to make sure you don't cut the course. You pickup the case for the tracker the day before the race and you mount the case on the quad somewhere where the IRC personnel can get to it on race morning so they can put the GPS device inside the case. Then you are free to add more tape, zip ties, bailing wire to it. If you lose it there is a big time penalty.

Pit Services- It isn’t realistic to have your own chase teams get to all of the remote areas with fuel for you. I recommend baja pits, they provide fuel every 40-60 miles, welding support, water, food, tools, sat phones, etc and they cost $250-500 depending on the length of the race. Your chase teams can hang out in the baja pits while waiting for you to come in. They all have sat phones and you can get updates on the progress of your team with their help by calling the other baja pits to find out when your rider was last seen. Your team can handle the re fueling at the baja pits if they wish.  Mag 7 and JCR Honda both provide pitting services for the Baja races.

Mexico Insurance- Your normal auto insurance will not cover you in Mexico. I always use Alex Patterson, he is a member on Race Dezert and has a good rep. I go with the expensive package, I can’t remember the name of it.

Costs- Doing the Baja 1000 in a year when it is a loop (starting and ending in Ensenada) is a LOT cheaper than doing it this year when it is a point to point race. In 2009 I rode on a Pro team. I had to pay my own way and pre run on my own but I didn't have to pay anything towards the cost of the quad. Overall I'd say it cost me $1200 to do it, that includes the cost of driving down there from Arizona for pre running and racing, hotels, entry fees (race fee, baja pits, IRC tracker), food, etc. Although if you count in the fact that I blew my tranny on my personal quad while pre running then you could add another $1000 to that total. :-( Of course I am lucky to have friends who enjoy this as much as I do and they pay their own way down there and chip in for gas. If you have to bribe your friends to go down then the cost will be a lot higher.

How much does it cost to race the Baja 1000?  Here are some rough cost estimates from my trips in 2009.  They assume 2.50 per gallon and 16MPG from a truck.  Fuel cost for ATV is $4.25 a gallon.  Keep in mind these costs can be split among team members if you can pre run together.  The mileages are based from Phoenix, AZ.

Cell phones- Cell phone coverage is very, very spotty in baja.  Verizon doesn’t work hardly anywhere, Tmobile/AT&T for some reason works in many places.  Plan accordingly. You can also try to buy prepaid Mexican telcel phones, I have no experience with them. Every chase truck needs a cellphone with decent coverage and a car charger for that phone.

Pre running- In my opinion pre running is optional for a first time team just looking for some fun. However to ensure the safety of  your racers it is recommended.  It is required for a top level team hoping to win the pro class. Pre running is a lot of fun, you can take some friends who aren’t racing and go out and have a good time. It is always a good idea to ride with a partner or a group. It adds a bit of cost to doing the race especially if you don't live near baja. You will need a GPS to pre run, the course is normally marked 2 weeks before the race and the GPS file is released on SCORE’s website 2 weeks prior to the race. The week of the race I would recommend that you pre run the section leaving town because that is where a lot of the course markings will get screwed up and you need to know where to go on your own. This section is normally only available to pre run the week of the race.

Going to Mexico- Prior to the 2008 Baja 1000 when I was called upon to race 3 days before the race I had never been to Mexico aside from a trip to a resort in Puerto Penasco. I wasn’t that intimidated because I know if you just act smart you will be fine just about anywhere. Mexico is a fine place, almost everyone I have encountered is very friendly. We have made quite a few trips now with all the pre running and racing and we have never had a problem. We even stupidly left Arizona at midnight and drove down in one truck to pre run at 3am, the roads were desolate and empty and we had no issues. We always go places in groups and mind our own business, we always have a good time.
Tacos- Tacos Las Brisas, located on the main road in Ensenada a few blocks south of the start line has the best tacos in town.
Crossing the Border- Bring registration and proof of ownership for all of your vehicles, including trailers and ATV's.  The US border agents have been stopping people on their way into the Mexico to look for stolen property.  If your race vehicle is not registered at least have some sort of bill of sale or something.  You will need a passport to get back into the US.  However if you do not have one or you lose yours you will still be able to get back into the US.  The border agents are not going to prevent a US citizen from crossing the border, they will research everything they can to prove you are a citizen.

Race Week- The day that registration opens you will need to accomplish 4 things: registration, tech, IRC tracker, and check in with your pit service.  I recommend getting registration out of the way first and early.  The lines can be massive.  Go as a team and wait in line together.  Take the ATV, 2 of the racers and all of the racers helmets to tech.  Remember there is a seperate line for trucks and handlebar vehicles.  You do not have to wait in the long truck line if you do not want to.  You are allowed to cut to the front.  Although waiting in the line can be fun, all of the fans/kids etc are great.  Only 2 team members are allowed into the tech area.  Everyone's helmet will be inspected and a SCORE sticker will be placed on them.   From there send someone over to IRC to register and pickup your IRC tracker box.  Send someone else to your pitting company of choice to check-in and drop off any spares etc.

Hotels- Hotels for race week run $80-200 a night. The rooms generally have a lot of floor space in my experience so you can fit quite a few people in one room. We had a room at Las Dunas which is very close to the registration hotel and we fit 10 people in one Suite. We paid $130 a night in 2009. There is an enormous list of hotels at the end of this article.

Racing with 4 wheel vehicles- In the 2009 Baja 500 we were nearly last off the line and we barely managed to outrun the trophy truck leaders to the finish line. We won the amateur class and only beat the trophy trucks by 15 minutes. So chances are high that you will see them in the 1000 and maybe the 500. I have had the misfortune/pleasure of being caught in trophy truck traffic. Stay alert and pull of the track at the first hint of a truck. They are generally friendly and you will hear their loud horns if they somehow manage to sneak up on you. You will want to get off the course and stop when the pass you because the amount of dust they kick up will prevent you from seeing for 30 seconds or more and you don’t want to be stopped on the course, in the dust in case there are more right behind them.

Quad Setup- I am most familiar with Hondas, all of my pre running and 2 of my baja races have been on Honda TRX 450R’s. The basics are the same for any brand of quad. You want to run a "desert" setup. It is a combination of XC protection and shock valving, with the 50" width of MX parts with some endurance stuff added in like an oil cooler. Keep in mind when prepping a quad for any endurance race, use lots of loctite and try to have a failsafe system for typical failure points.  For example on my rear shock reservoir mount I put zip ties around the normal mounting system so if it fails the zip ties can save the day.  Make sure all of the typical wear items are in excellent / new condition prior to the race this includes engine, tranny, clutch, balljoints, heims, sprockets, chain, tires, brakes, etc.

Tires/Wheels- I highly recommend Maxxis RazR II tires: 23" front and 22" rears with beadlock rims. The DWT yellow label stuff has been awesome for me, Hiper wheels also work great for me but others don't like them for desert racing. You don’t necessarily need fancy rims, we won the 2009 baja 500 on stock Honda rims and never got a flat. Tireballs are nice to have but not required, they are also very expensive and if you pop several of them in the same spot of the tire it results in an extremely nasty out of balance vibration.

Suspension: I highly recommend Motowoz shocks, I have been working with Jim for a few years on valving my stuff for desert races and I think he has it down. I also love my Ed Teixeira rear linkage, it is made for desert racers. Any good name brand +2 or +2.5" a-arms will work, I run JD Performance stuff and have for a few years without any problems. I have heard good things about the Teixeira Tech arms too. Any other set of good shocks with proper valving will work great.
Get an aftermarket +4” axle, Lone Star Racing and RPM dominator are the brands I trust.

Engine- A stock engine is ok but if you are 200 pounds plus like me you need more power. A basic cam, exhaust and head porting will do wonders. I wouldn’t go crazy with high compression. I recommend an oil cooler for the added capacity and to keep temps down, a larger radiator is also a big help. I recommend against a high strung, high horsepower mx engine. You want something reliable first, and powerful second. Rudy at Dirt Fiend Racing has tons and tons of racing experience with Honda engines.
Filter- It is a good idea to change the filter during the race, some teams change it every 200 miles.  Foam filters will keep the dirt out of the engine better than K&N style filters.

Gearing- For gearing you want to gear it to work with the tires and horsepower you have. If you only have 40hp it won't make much sense to run a 14/38 gear combo with 22" tires because 5th gear won't be useable, you won't have the power to pull it. You need a power/weight/gear combo to pull at least 75mph in my opinion. There are quite a few high speed straight away sections where you will get killed if you can only go 65. In the pro classes you need the power and gearing to do 85+ mph to be competitive.

Other Parts- You will need a desert tank, 3.8 gallons or more. A dry break is nice but if you use a dry break you will need to provide a receiver for the fill can to baja pits and those things are expensive. A normal fuel cap is fine IMO unless you are trying to win the pro class.
I also recommend a desert seat (the extra foam is comfy on long races).
I tend to run taller than normal bars and stem since you will do a lot of standing up and less aggressive turning but this is just a personal preference.  FASST flex bars really cut down on the fatigue from vibration.
Get a high quality, thick swing arm skidplate. PRM and Pro armor make good ones. A chassis skidplate is also a must have. A-arm and shock guards are also nice but not required.  Roll Design has a lot of baja and desert racing experience and they offer high quality bumpers, a-arms, nerfs, pegs etc.
I only run a twist throttle and many other desert racers also run twist throttles. Your thumb can get very tired when racing for 4 hours at a time. If you are used to a thumb throttle make sure you can handle it at race speed for extended durations.

Chain- Get a high quality o-ring chain, we were knocked out of the 2009 baja 1000 with a chain failure.  Here is a note from experienced baja racer Steve (Seve) Bourgeois- I would like to suggest to you something about chains.  A new DID ERV3 chain with the master link taken out and a staked link put in WILL NOT FAIL. Honda learned this early on racing XR650’s and Wayne Matlock uses this set-up on his quad. We will use the ERV3 for SF 250 and Baja 500, get a new one for Baja 1000, then repeat. Chain breakers and chain presses take up a lot of space in your pack – a chain is something you need to go all out and get the very best.

Lights- You will need a good set of lights and they can be very expensive. A dual 8” HID setup from baja designs with the mount is over $1300 but they make really good stuff. You can build your own light mount and wire your own lights and save some money. When I pre run I use a single 8” HID and I don’t feel it is enough for racing at high speeds. Make sure the light bar is extremely strong, you don’t want run in the night with helmet lights only. It is a great idea to have a backup set of lights available in one of the chase trucks.

GPS- You will need a GPS to do any sort of pre running. I also recommend having one in your pack on raceday in case you need help or get lost.  I have been using a Lowrance H2o that I borrow from a friend and it works great.  They cost about $150 new.

Spot Tracker- I use one of these and it is good piece of mind to have in case of emergency. If you strap one of these to the quad then you can get up to the minute details on where you quad is by someone with internet access. This can come in handy if your quad is stuck in a remote location without radio access.

Spares- This stuff should be kept on the quad or on every rider. Clutch cable and throttle cable just zip tie a new one of each to the existing cables, makes hot swapping easier. Spare CDI box, fuses, chain master link, extra bits of chain, chain breaker, chain clamp (chain reassembly tool) Extra fuel, I would strap a Gatorade bottle or two of fuel to the quad somewhere. If someone gets extremely lost or if you get underfueled at a pit stop this will save your day. You can build a special bumper to mount basic tools and these spare parts to.

Gear- Everyone needs a camelpack/backpack combo. I recommend running a large camelpack with lots of storage and you will see why when you see the list of stuff I recommend. I have been stranded in the middle of nowhere, baja for 12+ hours in the 25 degree cold, so I have some experience here. J
Lighter and matches, along with some scrap paper to help start a fire. Cell phone, Course map, copies of: your driver’s license, passport, ATV registration, phone number list, stickers, paper listing any medications you are on along with known allergies, $20 in fives. You will need the stickers and cash in case you need help and need to pay someone. I would put all of this stuff in a ziplock bag to keep it dry (except the stickers).
A couple of powerbars, advil, emergency heat blanket (they are very small, outdoor stores sell em), small first aid kit. I try to shove some extra goggles and gloves in there if they will fit. When taking off from the pits for a night section in November it isn’t a bad idea to tie a sweater to your waist. Luckily I did this and it worked out great for me when I was stranded.

Tools- 2 small flashlights, screwdriver, wire cutters/needlenose (good for removing cactus and making repairs) small motorcycle toolkit with basic sockets, wrench, screwdriver bits (Motion Pro sells a nice one) Chain cutter, chain clamp, chain master links, and some spare links of chain that work with the chain on the race bike. If only I had this in 2009, we would’ve gotten 2 nd place instead of a DNF. Make sure the chain cutter you get works with your chain! Motion pro sells all of this stuff too. Small nylon tow rope, duct tape, misc wiring materials to make wire repairs (butt connectors, etc.) Spare fuses of whatever size the quad requires. Tire repair kit with lots of tire plugs. You’d be surprised what size hole can be fixed with a boat load of tire plugs. C02 cartridges and co2 tool. Zip ties, a couple random common sized bolts to make repairs (this kept us going in 2009 when our front sprocket came off) Carb needle clip

Helmet Lights - I don’t own a set but I wish I did. They range from $200-1000 Our 2008 team was able to continue racing where our charging system failed and we raced over 300 miles with helmet lights and duct taped mag lights to the quad.

Sat Phone- These are very, very nice to have but not required. Our 09 Baja 500 team didn’t have any sat phones. However if you run into trouble it would be great to have at least one sat phone on the quad at all times, put it in a fanny pack and swap it from rider to rider. Each chase truck should also have a phone but again this adds a lot of expensive to the race but they are great to have. When I was stuck in BFE a rider let me use his phone and it connected right away, I was amazed, I had zero radio reception out there.

RADIO- You need a good quality radio that is programmed for your race channel along with weatherman at a minimum. Each chase truck should have a radio to monitor you and the weatherman channel. Having these other race channels programmed is a good idea:

1 153.380 M7MAIN Mag 7 Primary
2 150.830 M7SEC Mag 7 Secondary
3 158.655 PROPTS Pro Pits
4 151.775 LOCOSM Locos Mocos
5 150.860 FAIR Fair
6 154.980 BAJAPT Baja Pits
7 151.925 CHECK Checker
8 151.625 W-MAN Weatherman
9 154.515 PCI PCI
10 151.715 BFGRLY BFG Relay
11 153.395 BFGPIT BFG Main
12 155.160 SAR Search & Rescue
13 151.490 BITD Best in the Desert
14 151.955 HONDA Honda
15 153.140 PROTRK Pro Truck Main
16 152.570 WIDEOB Wide Open Baja
17 152.915 MCMIL McMillan
18 152.960 LSCAMP Los Campeones

If you can’t reach your team then try to contact the weatherman or the BFG Relay. Be clear and be patient. Give your race number and wait for him to call for you and ask what you need. Then tell him where you are, give a race mile or even better coordinates. Tell him you need this information relayed to your team and the baja pits.

Well that sums up about everything I can think of.  If anyone is looking for a team member for an ATV baja race, send me an email!
