Previously known as ��NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally��, Baja 1000 has been a rally of different order with many car enthusiasts following it around the world. This race takes place on Mexico's Baja California Peninsula in the fall and includes various types of vehicle classes such as small and large bore motorcycles, stock VW, production vehicles, buggies, trucks, and custom fabricated race vehicles.

Held since 1967, this rally has had it's own share of issues. Well the Baja has two course's included in it's race schedule. First being point-point race, that uasually starts from Ensenada (or Tijuana and Mexicali) and spans over 1000miles and later ends in La Paz. Second is the loop race that starts in Ensenada (it has also started in Mexicali) and with a course length of over 850miles ends back in the same place where it had begun.

Hey, check this out! Another peculiar fact about Baja 1000 is, it has made news for its ��Sabotage and booby-traps��. These are traps, traps like digging holes, blocking river flow, or burying obstacles, set or created by local spectators as jumps or obstacles for spectator entertainment. Are these spectators crazy, they will kill those contestants man!
