Once again, Southern Baja race organizers have been able to keep their cooperation, and work together with a common goal of making the sport better for both the competitors and fans with one race calendar. The single calendar will however be split into two Championships, one 5 desert race Championship and one 4 race Short Course Championship. This has been done as a lot of the racers found that they had to prepare the cars completely differently for the desert and short course, and also a lot of the drivers did not necessarily want to race both types of off road racing.
Unfortunately, it is extremely late for the organizers to publish their race dates at the end of September, with the first race being on the 28th of January, allowing very little prep and travel planning in order to be able to participate in the first race of the Championship.
However, we feel that separating the races into desert and short course racing is a great move, and hope for it to bring even more racers out in 2017. We look forward to seeing you there!
