Good dayeveryone!

I trust you are all rested, strong and ready to race!

I don't know how you feel, but I've had enough time to rest after Amageza. Time to go find a new track in a new mountain!

To kick things off, the 2017 West Coast Baja is ready for entries. Same location, Port Nolloth, Northern Cape Province, South Africa. Same dates: 18 - 20 March 2017. But different routes. This time we are making it slightly longer. At least 6 hours in the saddle for the fastest rider. So more like the 2016 Amageza Rallye Special Sections. Fuel requirements are 275km for Rally and 150km for Lite. Yep, the 'Lite' category is still there. We have had no complaints regarding the racing of ATV's (quads) with the bikes, so they stay. But, unfortunately the SSV's are gone. Safety concerns after the 2016 West Coast Baja and the lack of interest from that sector of motorsport has let to their exclusion from the 2017 West Coast Baja.

Now, please keep in mind that we have awesome relations with the owners of the land in the area we intend racing on, so I urge you not to plan extensive training missions to that area. Keep in mind the reconnoitering clause in the SR's. Speaking of :  The website and SR's are being fine tuned to fit the 2017 West Coast Baja and will be available by this weekend.

So what has changed:

[list type=decimal]
[*]Longer stages.
[*]No more SSV class vehicles. (Side-by-Side)
[*]No bivouac or meals. You stay where you want. The start and finish will be a static DSP and will be close to town.
[*]You will receive your next stage road book immediately at the end of each stage.
[*]Briefings will be at a predetermined location every evening.
[*]A road book is no longer included in the rally-class entry fee, but purchased separately.
[*]There will be spectator points published prior to the race.
