Many race fans & spectators
crowded the streets of Ensenada Baja, California |
The contingency
lanes were very full today and we ripped through
to catch only two quad teams trying to finish
one last thing before race day. The crowds were
swelling out of the roadways as trophy trucks
and buggies made their way down to tech. Its going
to be a long weekend so check back often for updates
from the toughest off road race on this continent!
Meanwhile here are some really cool Baja facts
we found on Score’s website!
