The largest class were the 'Baja Bugs' (naturally).
Class 5 (open) and 5-1600 (restricted) have many entries from Mexico and the U.S.

Plenty of big lights for the night on this Baja Bug.

Off road racing sometimes gets close to the spectators!
I think my son is too close (no telephoto, this is a disposable camera)!

Baja racing is against the clock, not other racers.
Sometimes contestants will not see each other for great distances.

About the last group to start is Class 17 (Jeep Speed).
Using the popular Jeep Cherokee to create an entry level, less expensive way to
participate in this sport. See http://www.jeepspeed.com/

Hope you enjoyed this view from one spot along the 2003 Baja
500. More details of Baja racing can be found at http://www.score-international.com/
