May 2006 Racing Pictures and News
from Santa Rosalia
"Race Day"
NEW DIRT RACE TRACK AT SANTA MARIA, BCS.
THE RACE TRACK IS ABOUT 5 MILES NORTH OF SANTA ROSALIA.
THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT…80 DEGREES AND NO WIND. NOT AS MUCH DUST.
THE TURN OUT WAS MINIMUL FOR THIS EVENT BECAUSE APRIL 30TH IS THE DAY OF THE CHILD. (DIA DE NINO).
THE RACES LASTED FOR ABOUT FIVE HOURS WITH COMPETITION FROM LORETO, SANTA ROSALIA AND GUERRERO NEGRO.
WHERE CAN YOU GO FOR $50 PESOS (ABOUT $5.00) AND HAVE SUCH A GREAT TIME.
I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THE NEXT RACE…IT WILL PROBABLY BE IN JUNE.
IT”S CONSTRUCTED WITH A DIRT BERM AND BARBED WIRE FENCE THAT PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM PASSING FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER.
MAY FIRST IS A HOLIDAY
MANY LOCALS PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED WITH THE EVENTS AT THE PLAZA JUAREZ IN EL CENTRO.
