The Baja 1000 is the longest off-road race in the world. It is called the Baja 1000 because of its location which is Baja California, Mexico and averages about 1000 miles each race. Some of the most popular racers consist of “Ballistic” BJ Baldwin, Robby Gordon, and even movie stars like Patrick Dempsey. The course is very grueling and many competitors do not even finish the race. The race includes multiple pit stops because you need fuel and sometimes driver changes. It usually lasts about 16 hours starting at 10:00 am and lasts till 10:00 the next morning! 

 

This race isn’t about having the fastest truck or the farthest jump, it takes hours and hours of commitment and dedication of the driver and the team to last through the race. There are many different classes in the B1k from dirt bikes to UTV’s, like RZR’s, buggies, quads, and the premier class, Trophy Trucks. Some day I hope to compete in the Baja 1000.
