TRAFFIC LAWS
CHANGING IN MEXICO
Oscar Escobedo, the Secretary
of Tourism for Baja, Mexico
also spoke about the growing
importance of spectator safety
in Mexico. To paraphrase
Escobedo, there are ongoing
changes in the country of
Mexico when it comes to
racing the SCORE Baja 1000
and Baja 500. Escobedo spoke
briefly about how Mexico will
enforce certain traffic laws
on the highways, and where
pit crew teams often drive to
get from point A to point B.
Though Escobedo did not
specifically address a particular
law or regulation, he did allude
to the fact that improvements in
all aspects of racing in Mexico
are being considered. As soon
as SCORE Journal learns more
about the new traffic laws in
Mexico for racers and teams,
we will bring it to you in detail.

more specific about safety

study on heat-related issues
that he shared with everyone.
