Stuck in Ojos

[HSDMORGAN]

Just curious how many teams missed their pits or worse due to the traffic jam in ojos negros.from what i saw first hand it wasn't just the military checkpoint that jammed things up but more so the person flagging the cars through when it was safe or should i say the lack of letting cars through when it WAS safe.after our chase trucks got through i relayed to weatherman of the problem there but don't know if it ever got better.

Handy tip: Always be south of Ojos before 10am. We broke that rule this year due to some late tech issues and we paid the price.

Yea we always leave early for our pits just for this reason.

We tried to be nice and wait our turn but ended up doing the same thing.

we passed through there around 9am and it still took us about 45 minutes. cant imagine how bad it got after we got through. last report we heard as we passed through the military check was traffic was 5 miles back.

I heard that there were racers waiting at there pits for their chase teams to get there and fuel them

I also did the Off Road Sentri Lane aka dirt road on the right. Got there around 9.15 and said F it, the chase truck in front of me went so I thought might as well. I thought I had enough time to get to my spot but missed my window by about 15-20 min. I did the same thing on the way back around 2.00.

I paid the mexican dude at the gate 10 pesos to go around all the traffic..

Yeah I know it was crazy! We were there at about 10:45am.
Do you guys remember the traffic jam in Santo Tomas, the only year that the the San Felipe 250 started in Ensenada and finished in Santo Tomas? That was even worse!!!
