In those early years, racers like Hall relied on old maps
instead of modern GPS systems. Hall recalled that Bill Hardy
from Jeep Communications handed him a compass and
pointed due southeast to stay on course and not to stray
off a southeast direction. "Hardy assured us that La Paz was
southeast of Tijuana, and so for our first Baja 1000 race, we
kept the needle pointed that way," said Hall.
