The people camped out next to the track are insane!

[@lcarus42]

They just slow the racers down.

[@DespaceMan]

One day someone or mechanical failure specters will end up going home in a box. Madness

[@KA-om9oz]

Fuks set traps too.

[@nothinyaseehere9449]

@@DespaceManwe had that happen at the finke desert race in Australia now ya can’t get more than 20 metres to the track it’s a lot better for the competitors they don’t have to lift off anymore

[@thejestor9378]

⁠​⁠@@DespaceMan The Baja races have fatalities every year. Last year most notable was a driver going over a cliff. The Baja races are the most dangerous races in North America, for both driver and spectators, there are wavers to be signed for those spectating in the regulated spots, and then you got those spectating along the routes in the unregulated areas. It is an insane set of races.

[@ericw6081]

Dude one thing goes wrong and 20 spectators die. I’m all for a cool experience. But I would not want to have to worry about someone dying because an accident happened while I was at the wheel. Has to be frustrating at times as a driver trying to win a race.

[@tammyforbes2101]

They will get out of the way. They know what’s coming and how it can go wrong.

[@Largecar2165]

if they put themselves in harms way thats their problem

[@memebranes]

Reminds me of the ole group b rally days, sick fun. The spectators know what theyre getting themselves into

[@Sflhunter]

I feel that! Plus it would ruin a drivers race if they hit a spectator car instead of a bush and be out a truck

[@THEWRENCH343]

MEAT FENCE

[@user-ox2mc9zu1b]

Man, those speccies are insane. Nice drive. Frustrating to have pace over the car ahead but get slowed by their dust cloud though.

[@volvo09]

Yeah the blinding dust is insane

[@jblob5764]

Thats desert racing at its finest

[@AntalopeAUT]

Group B vibes with the viewers right in your drifting vector ... stay safe y´all and hammer that gaspedal to the floor

[@gungadingo]

Imagine how fun those steps were on a bike in the middle of the night. Great run Christopher. Keep these videos coming, please!

[@ChristopherPolvoorde]

Literally insane!

[@kevinfitzpatrick5949]

​@@ChristopherPolvoordeNot sure you'll see this, but where do you even get started in a sport like this? What is the lowest level?

[@trackerrrr]

This is like watching the old Group B rally racing.

[@Jebzbra]

Yeah, that's what it reminded me of too. Too fast and cool to be true for too long if the spectators keep crowding the route.

[@kyleblowers4574]

This is Isle on Man TT mixed with off-road BEASTS. Oh lord those people standing on the sides🫨🫨😬😬🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🚜🚜🦼🦼

[@NVArt001]

Last time I watched a Baja race, the locals were digging traps for the vehicles and the local cops on one paved section were pulling over racers and writing them speeding tickets.

[@thejestor9378]

Yeah, they have to be careful on the road sections cause of that, it was not the first time the cops have done that and won’t be the last. Atleast they didn’t have to worry about gunmen like another race in Baja did earlier in the year.

[@csedan510]

​@@thejestor9378My buddy did the 500 and had his entire truck and trailer stolen from a "secure" parking lot. His computer was in the trailer too so they got all of his info up in Santa Monica. He got harrassment for months trying to get him to buy back his stuff. Dude had been racing down there since '72. A real shame.

[@dirtybird437]

The cops would have to chase me through the desert at 130mph+.

[@christophlieding734]

@@dirtybird437 I'll be riding Shotgun! That would be a dream. Already get a kick watching that. Not much like that going on here in Germany. But we got a few Formula 1 races and a few great bike races. But I really would love to run from the cops. Seen some awesome ones on here. Maybe bikes are more exciding = scary. We also dont have that here either. lol

[@toddkelley8904]

Totally awesome!! My family had a home in Puertecitos starting in late 50's up until the late 70's. The 500 & 1,000 racers would pit stop in the tiny fishing village. I grew up watching the old schoolers; Ivan Stewart, The Mears brothers, Mickey Thompson, Al Baker (Privateer ~ Honda) and the countless others. Night racing in the desert is something else!!

[@DMSparky]

Woah, what a privilege to have a job that’s a literal racing game! You definitely have the skills! Like others have mentioned definitely group B vibes with the spectators. Seems like a rare form of Motorsport where a very small amount of rain would be useful just to keep the dust down. Pretty wild how close to the edge of control you have to drive those vehicles to be competitive. Amazing job to you and your team!

[@mofekka]

nice driving. I was part of a team there chasing 764x. Very cool to see some of the course. Thanks for sharing.

[@a8f235]

It still baffles my mind that spectators still to this day give drivers no room for error, so if a mistake was to happen it will be a complete yardsale of bodyparts flying everywhere... Personally I never feel sorry for people who willingly do dumb things like that, I feel sorry for the drivers who have to keep up with this shit because it just adds more pressure to the race, and not in a good way. So to anyone wanting to spectate try to imagine yourself as a driver, and ask yourself what you would have wanted...

[@glennp1690]

Maybe these spectator's (idiots) need to go watch footage from group B rally when spectator's got mowed down.

Good to see the video you were real quiet about which truck you would be driving

[@stephenmiller5023]

Spent many , MANY years prerunning & pitting for teams in Baja Racing events & always had to pull half the seat outta my ass after a major speed run through crowded areas on the courses …. We learned the hard way a few times just how bad things can & do get doing this kind of close to spectators racing goes. Be safe everyone, & Thanks for this AWESOME video !!

[@onemorething100]

You got to be out of your mind to be that close. The worst is the Dummies that post up on the outside of a corner!!

[@gabresler]

You see in the video dust or smoke is that from wind or manmade fires?

[@RobNaughton54]

A long way from the Trophy Kart days. 😂 but I swear those modified Karts were harder to drive than my Prolite or Pro 2. Definitely helped build some skills for a lot of young drivers. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@helioselexandros]

Man that truck sounds amazing

A lot of pit stops and brave spectators.😊

[@robspring81]

Gotta love the dudes just casually walking in front of him going 95mph

[@mikesimms3380]

Years ago, I wrote to Sal Fish about creating a safety committee for Score, and he agreed that something should be done. We had some back and forth on the subject, but I could see that his attention was divided in a dozen ways, and ultimately, nothing happened. The potential for a mass casualty event in this race is enormous. Once it happens, it will be international news. Getting insurance for ANY event will be difficult after that. It could ruin off road racing forever. Every year, I hope for the best. Every year, a spectator or two is injured or killed. It flies under the radar. Once a truck rolls through a crowd of spectators, the focus of the international media will expose every deficiency possible. The untamed race will be relegated to a short track, and Baja racing will be dead forever.

[@fredrick_leicht]

Incredible video. Having driven my long travel LS1 car down the sand highway in glamis at close to 100 mph I can totally understand the rush and the mental concentration this takes. Way beyond my abilities.

I live at LA Bay at mile 736 of the race. Where I live there is a left turn about 30 degrees through a rutted and whooped-out, sandy section. The KTM put on a show and wheelied through that section going about 60 plus. In the turn. In the ruts and whoops. In the sand. Amazing skills.

[@Xnetteom]

Off topic, but how did the place hold up in the Hurricane? Only saw pictures of Villa Bahia, but it wasn't looking too good. Hope everyone down there is doing alright

[@dougb4956]

@@Xnetteom A TON of water and mud. The town did fine. Most of the campos and homes along the beach had erosion. I only heard of one property actually getting damaged from an arroyo that undermined them. Sections of the highway and the new bridges got beat up, but most of it is back in service now. The Baja 1000 came through two weeks ago. That was fun.

[@factoryshed9500]

I know ATV's arent near as fast. But i stood 10ft away from Walker Fowler, 7 time gncc champion, 4th gear drive straight at 2 people on the trail, he didnt flinch. If they didnt finally take 2 steps to the side he had 0 issues taking them out with him. Racers are racers, they dont want to hurt anybody or get anybody hurt, but woth open track race series, it is 100% on the spectator to get out of the way or ruin alot of peoples day
