Nov 15 		 

That's it for us. Nearly 60 hours of LIVE coverage!

There are certainly still trucks, buggies, bikes and quads still on the pennisula, moving and not so much. We wish we had GPS and radio contact with all of them to provide 100% coverage of every one of your favorite teams, but Baja is Baja. The remoteness is part of the lure and what makes it a true adventure to this day.

We'll be posting the official results of who made the finish line as soon as SCORE releases it. Thanks for tuning in. Be sure to come back to Off-Road.com for the race wrap up, video and photo galleries from five days of action!
