The Baja 1000 is Awesome: Short video and pictures from the 2011 off-road race

It’s hard to imagine a race like this existing in the U.S. of A.

Standing near a washed-out corner somewhere near mile 600 of the 692-mile desert off-road  race, we were treated to a number of enthusiastic racers roosting through the sand en route to the finish line back in Ensenada.

While there are plenty of popular viewing spots (mostly closer to town centers) packed with rabid race fans, we were in the middle of nowhere and these guys were stoked to see us. Our efforts were rewarded with lots of fist-pumps, waves, honks and special flashing lights.

Yeah, a few days have passed since MusicFestNW, the massive music festival that takes over nearly every venue in Portland, wrapped up, but that’s how long it’s taken me to wrap my head around the awesomeness that was this fest.
While it’s impossible to make it to even half of the shows on the slate, I did my best to bounce around and capture some video evidence and here’s just a sampling.
