November 10th to 16th 2007 - 40th TECATE SCORE BAJA 1000 - The longest non-stop off road race in the world.  This year (40th) is approximately 1,300 miles non-stop from Ensanada to Cabo San Lucas (Baja California Mexico).    

"The Baja 1000 is an epic race of speed, sleep deprivation and lunacy. Two-time winner Parnelli Jones once described it as “a 24-hour plane crash,” and that’s the easy part. Besides navigating treacherous terrain at an accident-waiting-to-happen pace, competitors also have to overcome logistical conundrums, wandering livestock, traps set by devious spectators, and the occasional drunk trying to drive the course backward."

"The 1,000 miles of pavement, brush, rock trail, desert and dry lake between Tijuana and La Paz was first covered as a day-and-night-long expedition by a pair of intrepid American motorcyclists in 1962, and the first Mexican 1000 Rally was staged five years later. Sixty-eight vehicles started; only 31 finished, led by a dune buggy and a dirt bike. These days, the race is called the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000.  The 40th annual event starts in Ensenada on November 13, 2007."
