    Baja 500 prerunning: Ensenada to Ojos Negros

    I'm sure you already know that the course from Ensenada to Ojos Negros has opened for prerunning today. I just wanted to create this thread so you can post any booby traps that you may find along the way. Let's remember that going out Ensenada is where the most traps can be found, some will not be made until raceday which makes it dangerous for drivers and riders.

    Can anyone tell me if the course is used twice through ojos?? On the map it looks like the course meets back just before the road crossing at approx mm 45&400. So are they using the same road crossing twice like they used to??

    As far as I know, the course (outbound) crosses Highway 3 right at Ojos Negros, next to the gas station; and then inbound it crosses Highway 3 before Ojos Negros, that is, before getting to the Valley. The course meets west of Ojos Negros and north of Highway 3

    (Don't pay attention to the mileage marker in the picture, it is from a Baja 1000, but you get the idea of where the course meets and crosses)

    Not the old one, the one released for prerunning about a month ago. I don't see a new one on their website either...
