50TH ANNIVERSARY OF BAJA 1000

                                   

 The annual Baja 1000, the most exciting and inclusive off-road race in the world

The Baja 1000 was conceived in 1962 by two Honda representatives, Jack McCormack and Walt Fulton. Honda had just released the CL72 Scrambler, an off-road motorcycle that they hoped would challenge the traditional market domination of American bikes for long-haul riders. But they needed to prove that the Scrambler could hold up over long distances and rigorous terrain, so they approached dirt biker Bud Ekins for suggestions. Ekins, one of the greatest motorcycle stuntmen of the era, was an expert in dangerous driving, having driven the Mustang 390 GT in Bullitt's famous chase and coordinated the bike stunts for CHiPs. He suggested the treacherous and varied stretch of land between Tijuana and La Paz. Optimistically named Mexican Highway 1, the run was actually a 950-mile stretch of dry riverbeds, rocky slopes, steep mountain passes and occasional lengths of actual paved road. Two racers agreed to do the trip for Honda, and after scouting the route in a small airplane, departed on March 22, 1962. It took the pair just under forty hours to make the run, and Honda's name was made in the dirt biking business.

After the success of Honda's run, maverick dune buggy designer Bruce Meyers saw an opportunity to get press coverage for his new invention, the Meyers Manx. The Manx was in many ways the prototypical dune buggy of the 1960s, with its curved fiberglass shell over a stock VW Beetle frame and engine. Meyers took his original prototype of the vehicle to La Paz in April of 1967 and managed to beat the Honda record by more than five hours. A massive amount of media coverage followed, and the floodgates were opened. Every auto manufacturer with a stake in the off-road market set their sights on Baja and the Mexican Highway 1 course. Attempts to break Meyers' record continued throughout the year, and eventually racer Ed Pearlman would organize a governing body that would put all of the drivers and machines in one place for one race - the inaugural Mexican 1000 Rally.

The very first sanctioned Mexican 1000 was run on October 31, 1967 - Halloween. There were 68 entrants, but the racers actually took a leisurely drive to Ensenada and started racing in earnest the next day. The first year was won by the dependable Meyers Manx dune buggy against a field that also consisted of trucks and motorcycles - one thing that makes the Baja 1000 unique in off-road circles is that every racer is on the same course, at the same time as the other drivers. Winners are announced not only in their individual vehicle and engine classes but also overall, and the greatest honor of the ride is taking the overall championship. For the most part, the race has been dominated by motorcycles, with Honda, Kawasaki and Husqvarna all fielding winning teams. But one of the sure things about the 1000 is that there is no sure thing - races have been won by trucks and other four-wheeled machines as well.

From 1967 to 1973, the race was dominated by four-wheelers, in fact, with the Meyers Manx taking the first year's trophy and a medley of Ford Broncos and Volkswagens capturing the top time for the rest. In 1973, the Mexican government set up a non-profit corporation to run the race, but they bungled their only crack at it so badly that it was rapidly handed back to an American group, SCORE International. Unfortunately, the burgeoning oil crisis in the early 70s resulted in there being no Baja 1000 in 1974, and the proud tradition almost came to an end. Thankfully, OPEC came to their senses and the race was back on in 1975, but the entire playing field had changed. Off-road motorcycles had come a long way since the 1962 Honda Scrambler, and the rugged machines being produced by Honda, Kawasaki and upstart manufacturer Husqvarna dominated the scene almost exclusively for the next few decades.

The 80s were perhaps the most uneven in racing history, as no one team dominated the standings for very long. Honda and Husqvarna traded wins each year, with neither breaking any new ground in design or performance. All that would change in 1988, however, as the upstart Kawasaki team consisting of Larry Roeseler, Danny LaPorte and Ted Hunnicutt Jr. would come from out of nowhere to win the next five Baja 1000s. The only interruption came with Ivan Stewart's 1993 win for Honda trucks, but Kawasaki would be undefeatable in the motorcycle division for nearly a decade. The 1990s saw racing trucks make a comeback, under the skillful hand of dirt track champion Ivan "Ironman" Stewart. Stewart's win in 1993 would establish Toyota's truck division as a contender in the race, and his 1998 win with the new Tundra would show that he was more than just a flash in the pan. On the whole, however, standard-body trucks would be phased out as the decade went on, with advances in technology ushering in the era of the "trophy truck," the feather-light, wildly expensive vehicles that would come to dominate the field.

In 2000, the organizers decided to pay special tribute to the turn of the century by doubling the odds, renaming the race the Baja 2000 for that year and making the course double the length - some 1726 miles. The brutal run took the winning team, composed of Honda riders Johnny Campbell, Tim Staab, Craig Smith and Steve Hengeveld, nearly thirty-one hours to accomplish, and many teams dropped out from attrition along the course. It's ironic that that thirty-one hour timespan was considered a marathon, when the 60s Baja 1000s took nearly as long. The 2000 win also marked Hengeveld's first bow in the Baja 1000 winner's circle, and he would go on to win six out of the next seven races.

One of the most unusual things about the Baja 1000 is the yearly reports of sabotage and booby-trapping performed not by the competitors, but rather by the spectators. Along the 900 miles of brutal terrain that the racers must travel are a number of small Mexican towns, and each year the chaos brought by the drivers from up North is an event that is part holiday and part war zone. So, to make things more interesting for both themselves and their drivers, the locals often construct a variety of bizarre and dangerous modifications to the track, including rickety jumps and makeshift obstacle courses. In addition, you are driving through undeveloped farmland, so drivers need to keep an eye out for wandering goats, cattle and children. Racers know that dealing with these unexpected hazards is just part of the game, so it's considered good etiquette to radio to other drivers when you encounter one. That doesn't help you if you're the first in the pack, but you can't win 'em all

Although the primary goal of every racer is to take home the whole thing, there's dozens of sub-races going on over the course of the event, as drivers compete in a number of smaller subclasses, divided by number of wheels on their vehicle and engine capacity. At the top of the heap is the SCORE Trophy-Truck class, which is essentially an unlimited class racing division - as long as the thing runs, everything else is legal. A number of less powerful classes rank below it, including the Baja Challenge, which removes vehicle design from the equation entirely, as every driver in that class pilots an identical two wheel drive Baja touring car. One of our favorite divisions is the Class 11 license, which is restricted to stock factory-specified Volkswagen sedans - always a pleasure to see them struggling over the desert sands. In the world of motorcycles, the primary divisions are by engine capacity, but interestingly enough they are also restricted by age, with the amazing Class 60 ranking for Baja 1000 challengers who were alive in the 1940s. And yes, there are brave souls in that division every year.

The race has transformed from a group of hobbyists getting together each year to something that's more celebratory, with the opening day's festivities resembling a Mexican block party - dancing girls and copious amounts of beer mingle freely with racers psyching themselves up and vendors selling everything from driving gloves to catheters. Modern technology has made navigation easier with the introduction of GPS systems that guide racers through the chaotic course, but there are still plenty of dangers to be found. The day before the starting gun, the entire town of Ensenada is a bacchanalia of drivers realizing that the next turn could be their last - even if you don't drive, it's almost worth just going down for the party. If you're really committed, get yourself to La Paz for the finish line as well - the sight of the drivers, dusty and exhausted, pulling up to the end of the race is something to behold.

This year's Baja 1000 is scheduled to start on November 14 2017 - pushed forward a month or so from the usual end of October starting time. Look for Steve Hengeveld and Honda to try to add another win to their six-year streak, but anything can happen down on Highway 1, and upset victories are just the name of the game. Now that you've been briefed on the ins and outs of the race, it might be time for you to pack a lunch, hop a plane, AND GET DOWN TO BAJA FOR THE RACE OF A LIFETIME...

We are 182A, Sportsman Quad BAJA 1000, and are ready to race...WE SEE YOU THERE

THE WORLD'S RICHEST TOURNAMENTS

                          THE JOURNEY BEGINS HERE            THE WORLD'S RICHEST TOURNAMENTS

The Worldclass Fishing Tournament takes place in Los Cabos 

If you're looking to test your skills against other sport anglers, than southern Baja and the areas of Cabo San Lucas and the East Cape should be on your list of locations for world-class tournament fishing. Fishing tournaments sprout up every year in Baja but Los Cabos is home to more big-money tournaments than just about anywhere on earth. Tournament season starts in late June and runs into November with events in the East Cape, Cabo San Lucas and out of La Playita or Puerto Los Cabos north of San Jose del Cabo. We list the major tourneys in our Los Cabos tournament schedule but there are several smaller, more remote tournaments that take place throughout Baja Sur. The best part about the tournament scene is you don't have to be a tycoon to enter. Entry fees start in the low hundreds. The biggest money tournament, the Bisbee's Black & Blue, will set you back over $60,000 if you opt to enter across the board. Big fees reward with big winnings. The Bisbee's record is over $3.9 Million to one team in 2006 and nearly $2.5 Million to another in 2012! What does 2017 have in store?

LOS CABOS BILLFISH TOURNAMENT

October 10 – 13, 2017 (estimated, dates TBA)

The Los Cabos Billfish Tournament is a three-day big-fish team event with honors going to the team that tallies the most points per pound – prize money goes to the top three teams. A trophy and a smaller cash prize is awarded to the boat releasing the most billfish. The 2012 event was won with a 487lb black marlin that swept the daily jackpots, levels one thru three. Total winnings for team Bill Collector was $167,877.50 along with an invitation to the 2013 IGFA Offshore World Championship to be held in May in beautiful Quepos, Costa Rica.

                             

BISBEE'S LOS CABOS OFFSHORE

October 19 – 22, 2017

The second of three Bisbee events in southern Baja, the Los Cabos Offshore tournament takes place a few days prior to the multi-million dollar Black and Blue. Many teams that fish the big one fish this as well – it's the prefect "pre-fishing" opportunity. in 2013, the tourney attracted 80 teams and 466 anglers with nearly $500,000 in prize money up for grabs. The team aboard Chupacabra came away with top honors for their 583lb blue marlin and a check for $206,973. Second place went to Sneak Attack with a 565lb blue for $189,837.

                                   

BISBEE'S BLACK AND BLUE

October 24 – 28, 2017

The big daddy of the them all has paid out big over it's 30+ year history.... two checks come to mind. In 2006 team Bad Company took it all with a check for over $3.9 Million. In 2012, team Frantic Pace did the same to the tune of nearly $2.5 Million. Sure, risking over $60,000 to enter across the board stings, but I bet hoisting a check as big as those takes the pain away quick! Now, you don't need to enter across the board, base entry fee is $5,000 and that can still make for a big payday.

                                     

WON LOS CABOS TUNA JACKPOT 

November 1 – 4, 2017 

$432,000 paid out to nine teams in 2010. $438,000 and 108 teams in 2011. What did 2013 hold? How about a field of 121 teams and prize money of nearly $600,000!! Yep, the WON Tuna Jackpot just keeps getting bigger and better. How so? Well, 2012's tourney is being called the greatest tuna fishing tourney ever held in Los Cabos – it was certainly a record breaker by virtue of the number of big fish. A 372lb cow was the overall winner followed by 11 fish that tipped the scales at over 200lbs.

Mexican Design Elements

Mexican Design Elements

Decorative ceramic tiles are classic Mexican home accents that can be used for a kitchen backsplash, for table or countertops or as a colorful decorative frame around a mirror. Talavera tiles are commonly used for decorative fireplace or wall murals, to embellish sinks, as borders for mirrors, windows or doorways, on fountains and in bathrooms. Terra-cotta tiled floors are commonly seen in Mexican style design.

Interior courtyards are another common element of Mexican interior design. Large arched doorways, scrolling iron accents and painted stucco walls in warm earth tones are mixed with dazzling bright accents in shades of red, yellow, orange, green and blue. Rustic wood, wrought iron, ceramic and copper furnishings and décor can be found both inside and outside of a traditional Mexican style home. 

Mexican Home Accents

Add splashes of color and interest throughout your room with traditional Mexican folk art, pottery or tapestries.

Pottery

Talavera pottery is a Mexican style of ceramic that usually hand painted with colorful motifs or intricate mosaic patterns. A Talavera vase, urn or platter set on a stand will look beautiful on a shelf or side table. This type of ceramic is also used to make tiles, flower pots and candle holders.

Folk Art

Traditional Mexican folk art includes wooden carvings, statues, religious art and other hand crafted ornaments. In Mexican home decor, you may see some Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) folk art. These items include elaborately decorated skulls and skeletons.

Wall Art

Walls are a great place to showcase traditional Mexican arts, crafts and other ornaments. Here are a few ideas:

• Wall hangings made of metal like tin or copper.
• Terra cotta plaques.
• Mexican art prints and paintings.

When buying a new house, or remodeling your house it is always a great idea to use a Mexican touch.

Fideicomiso The Mexican Bank Trust

The Mexican bank trust is an instrument commonly used for non-Mexican nationals to purchase coastal land in Mexico. This bank trust in Mexico is known as a FIDEICOMISO.

Many people are unaware that Non-Mexicans can own property in Mexico. For many, it is a surprise that Mexican foreigners can actually own property that is right on the beach, YES, Mexican foreigners can own a beachfront home and live full time very comfortably in Mexico.

Mexico 1917 Constitution outlines clearly that no Non-Mexican Citizen is allowed to own Mexico Real Estate within 60 feet from the mean high-tide line, up to 31 miles inland from the ocean, and up to 62 miles from international borders (The Restricted Zone).

As Mexico intelligently realized over the past several decades, foreign investors with their foreign investments were and are very attracted to the beautiful natural coastlines of the Mexican Pacific, the Sea of Cortes, the Mexican Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico There were even many Americans who preferred to live in the less expensive Mexico neighborhoods, but within driving distance of their jobs on the American side. There is not a higher law over the Mexican Constitution….so amendments were established.

The fideicomiso is an agreement set up between the Mexican foreign buyer and a Mexican bank. The bank acts on behalf of the buyer The bank will have title, but has a fiduciary obligation to follow the directions and wishes of the foreign buyer the non-Mexican buyer can enjoy, use, rent out, improve upon the property, expand, build and sell the Mexico Real Estate and reap 100% of the profits:

• Fideicomitente = seller of the property
• Fiduciary = the bank acting as the trustee and holder of the title
• Fideicomisario = beneficiary of the property

Term of 50 years, and it is renewable for another 50 year term.

Second beneficiaries can be established within the trust to establish automatic inheritance of the property in case of deaths of the first beneficiaries.

The buyer, can choose which banks he wishes to establish his Bank Trust There are various multi-national banks in Mexico.

In regards to Non-Mexicans buying property outside of the Restricted Zone Mexico Real Estate Bank Trusts are not needed in these regions and property can be held simple and straight title.

The Fideicomiso is used to acquire property here in Mexico only on land that is within the Restricted Zone, arguably the most desirable amongst buyers.
