Horsepower Ranch

Horsepower Ranch is located outside of Ensenada and is owned by Wide Open Baja. The ranch is the base of operations for for the Baja Challenge Class (BC) of cars during the Baja 1000. Before and after the race this is where we stay. All the meals are provided and the Mad Dog Catina always has a good supply of cerveza and other libations.

As I have said before when we travel down for the Baja 1000 it is a working vacation. More about Wide Open Baja and this beautiful ranch later.

Grandad's Photos 1948 Indy 500

Other than what was written on the back of the photos above I have no other information. These two photos were found in a box of photos we inherited when my husband's grandfather passed away.

With this being Memorial Day weekend, and the Indianapolis 500 is currently underway, it just seemed like a good time to bring them out. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Race Day from the Air

My husband took these shots during the daylight portion of the race. If you look close you can see the dust clouds from the race cars.

Ojos from the Plane

This is a view of Ojos from the plane that would be keeping track of the Baja Challenge class cars during the race. My husband took this photo.
