The people camped out next to the track are insane!

They just slow the racers down.

[@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.

[@AntalopeAUT]

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

[@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!!

[@Ophy-y1i]

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

[@thejestor9378]

⁠@@kevinfitzpatrick5949so Rally in the USA is handled by regional organizations, I would look into your regions organization and check for road course stock/near-stock classes. But going to an event is best way to start, and see if any local drivers got some tips for how to get started.

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!

[@2elgnismi]

The fans are crazier than the drivers.

[@TheMormeltier]

nice graphics, the games really keep getting better and better

[@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.

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?

[@OttoMatieque]

why were you putting the seat up your butt? seems odd.

[@stephenmiller5023]

@ believe me it wasn’t intentional….😬. One 80-90 mph run through crowds of people only feet away on both sides of a vehicle scattering to get outta the way tends to do that . Until you’ve lived it you might not know.

[@wyskass861]

Chaos is a good word for this

[@AndreGreeff]

if Group B rally required balls of steel, then the Baja 1000 requires balls of adamantium... OMFG, those are ludicrous speeds for that terrain! good sir, that is some incredible driving! 🤘

[@afraidcone]

I'm a fan of racing, I know nothing of rally culture, but like, coming from tracks, the further and more definitely separated the fans are from the track, the faster the cars can go. If you want to see the trucks truly let loose back tf up! Give them the breathing room to actually let loose! You can hear the difference in aggression between when he's near the crowds and when he's in the stretches where there's none.

[@shawn-baby]

It's always bothered me why do human beings have to put themselves so close to the track.

[@backwardsrun]

The thrill 100% we would put ourselves behind the wheel just don't have extra millions and the skills

[@Larsonthewoat]

I see none of the fans learned anything from group b

[@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

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

[@eriksforestryvision8751]

Just insanely cool, never gets old!

[@highdesertnomad]

Love the footage🤙🏼

[@Mtnmanmike62]

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.

[@MrGaryGG48]

Watch any of the films from the last 20-30 years (since the beginning of auto racing actually!) of WRC racing. The crowds line the edge of the road (mostly dirt) and if those behind the front line can't see enough, they just push the ones up front out onto the course so they can see. That's not to say it's acceptable but without banning spectators, no one had found a solution. If you remember the "Killer Bees," that was what closed that class of WRC Rally cars. They were so fast that those in the crowd getting pushed into the roadway, couldn't react quickly enough and too many were killed. It's not a new problem.
