Oh mother,

You try to dissuade me

Of every decision I make.

Wouldn't it be great,

If at least once,

You care more about supporting me,

Than what the other people might think?

I would like to be touching the ice cold grip of my bow,

Holding my string were my skin has gone hard,

Feel the soft feathers on my arrows, Letting go and feeling the power in the cold hard metal.

The excitement of hitting the x on the target.

And the feeling of winning first place.

Baja 1000 is an off-road race that takes place on Mexico's Baja California Peninsula in the third week in November.

The Baja 1000 allows various types of vehicle classes to compete on the same course - from such small and large bore motorcycles, stock VW, production vehicles, buggies, Trucks, and custom fabricated race vehicles.
