Baja 4000 in 2007

[Blanco]

There rumor floating around out there about score setting up a 4000 mile Race!?? :jaw-dropping:

Could this be true?
I doubt it but Maybe they wanna take on the Dakar figures?
It would be interesting to see the Course for that...:humm_smilie:

Where did you here this?I dont think enough teams would be ready to take on a 4000 mile course by 2007.The amount of support and money needed would be pretty excessive.Sounds like a rumour but i would love to see it happen!

[Couch Slouch]

If they did do it they should have the course on mainland mexico instead of baja.That would be pretty interesting.

i remember the baja 2000, by that time we were racing in a ford bronco II,the same class 3, we where able to complete more than 800 miles, it felt like it will never end, it was hard, also, there wasn't enough room to make the 2000 miles just in the hole baja peninsula, now for the 4000, god, unless they make it a circuit, right?

i wouldnt want to race 4000 miles or kilometers that would also take for ever

Well why should that be any different than the 1000 or 500 they are always way under 1000 or 500 miles..:m2c:

[Couch Slouch]

You have a point there,i still wonder what it is though...Ill check tommorrow im tired.

That's 2485.485 Miles, God, That's Too Many Miles, For Any Class It's Too Much, How Many Days Could That Take, But, It Could Be A Great Adventure, For Sure.

But would Only the Big Budget Boys be able to Keep Up? :shrug:
Thats alot of wear & tear on any rig... :6:

[CJ7on33's]

probably only the trophy trucks could make it because it is alot of wear and tear on a truck hell the 1000 is alot of wear and tear on a truck from what i've seen on TV

The Tear And Wear It's Relative To Speed On A Race Car, So, They Just Have To Slow Down A Little Bet, But For A Slower Car, With An Average Speed Of 25 To 35 Mph, Trying To Go Slower, It Will Take An Eternity To Finish That Race, And With The Limitations On Time, It's Imposible To Do That, So, There Is No Chance To Try To Participate On That Race. That's Just One Reason, The Second And Most Important, The Budget, So, We Will See The Race Go Thru Ojos Negros, Jeje,
