[QUOTE="Steve_Sourapas, post: 2203, member: 70"] Mexico is a great place to race with many challenges that you dont deal with in the U.S., it really seperates the men from the boys. One new situation that has come up in the last couple baja races is the highway sections. From a racers point of view we have no idea how to run these sections, do you take a chance and go wide open and hope you dont get stopped like some people do. I know for a fact I lost alot of time to other class 1 guys because of the highway sections. For example out of Santa Tomas the police pulled in front of me and we proceeded to Urupan at a blazing speed of 15-20 mph but the car that was just 2 minutes ahead of me was allowed to go alot faster. Score needs to address this situation or keep us off the highways. I always find it interesting that we were allowed to run the highway with no speed limit but it still open for normal traffic.
