About 2 weeks before the race is the (by us unconfirmed - original source: Gabriel García, El Vigía/13.05.2013/20:08) statement at several social media streams that Roger Norman announced: "Qualifying course will be closed to spectators"! No spectators allowed to enter the 45th Baja 500 qualifying for security reasons. Only team members of the 2 classes participating and accredited media is allowed to watch. For security reasons that is. Basically the Master-race of desert racing get's a front-row seat. The rest of us? We can travel to the event and spend our hard earned bucks, we can go out and find a spot we see them drive by. I'm sure SCORE media will offer a DVD to buy in a few month time where we second level people can see the qualifying.... Another memorable example of all that Mexico’s Baja California off-road racing has to offer..... What's gonna be next?? For security reasons we are only allowed to consume Tecate beer at pre-determined prices at SCORE sanctioned tiendas? Who ever brings Pacifico or Corona is excluded from spectating the event??
