PREPARATIONS SET FOR 48TH BUD LIGHT SCORE BAJA 1000 The SCORE Baja 1000 is approaching its 50th anniversary, but before that celebration can begin, the 48th Bud Light SCORE Baja 1000 still has to go into the record books. This year's race will be no less exciting with a newly routed race course and an international level of competition that will take place on November 18- 21 in Ensenada, Mexico. This year, the SCORE Baja 1000 course will be a single loop race that starts and finishes in front of the historic Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center in Ensenada. Racers will travel in a counter-clockwise direction over a 840-mile trek that extends to both sides of the peninsula, and includes a 35 mile stretch to Ojos Negros and heads south through Santo Tomas and along the Pacific Ocean. The course features seven checkpoints and parallels Highway 1 for nearly half of the race, looping south back to the Pacific and then crossing over to the other side of the peninsula below Puertocitos. The course then heads back North along the Sea of Cortez, past San Felipe paralleling Highway 5 and up to the junction with Highway 3. Running parallel to Highway 3, racers will travel west, then northwest back into Ojos Negros before they reach the finish line in Ensenada. Pre-running is expected to open near the end of October, allowing competitors nearly three weeks of practice time on the course.
