October 3, 1975 Roberto Salinas covered the prestigious race for TV 8 Action News. From Wikipedia: The Baja 1000 is an annual Mexican off-road motorsport race held on the Baja California Peninsula. It is one of the most prestigious off-road races in the world, having attracted competitors from six continents.[1][2][3][4] The race was founded by Ed Pearlman in 1967 and is sanctioned by SCORE International.[5][6] The race is the final round of a four-race annual series, which also includes the San Felipe 250, the Baja 400 and the Baja 500. The 2017 Baja 1000 marked the 50th anniversary of the race.[7] The Baja 1000 allows various types of vehicle classes to compete on the same course with classes for Trophy trucks, Dirtbikes, Truggy's, side-by-side's, Baja Bugs and Buggies[6] The course has remained relatively the same over the years, about every other event being either a point-to-point race from Ensenada to La Paz, or a loop race starting and finishing in Ensenada. The name of the event can be misleading as the mileage varies for the type of event "Loop" of 600 to 850 miles starting and finishing in Ensenada, or "Point to Point" also known as the 900.
