Baja 500 and Backroads Exploring

Baja 500

Trip starts in San Ysidro, CA near US/Mexico border and returns north via the Otay Mesa or Tecate border crossing.

This Baja off-road trip is for adventurous souls that have always wanted to explore the backroads of Baja and experience the world-famous Baja 500 off-road race. We'll take you to the SCORE Baja 500 technical inspection (aka “tech”) to see race cars and motorcycles as they roll through tech in Ensenada. This is your chance to see the many classes of off-road race vehicles, from UTV’s and VW bugs to powerful 800+ horsepower trophy trucks. Many opportunities to meet well-known race teams and maybe get a photo with your favorite drivers.

On race day, we will watch the SCORE Baja 500 race from a couple of stops in the desert and/or along the Pacific coast. These racers will truly get your heart pumping as they zoom past! Our spectating locations will depend on the course map, which will hopefully be released by SCORE in April. After the race course map is released, we can make more definite route plans. We will be out on the race course and there might be a chance to be in a pit and watch the crew members in action. This Baja adventure will get you up close and personal to see this grueling off-road race in Baja Mexico. Bonus: It’s a full moon weekend!

Watch our amigos Norsemen Racing Team in action in Baja Mexico. This is what you will see and experience at the Baja off-road races!
