Several blocks in the resort area of Ensenada were shut down for a giant street fair. Beer was cheap, there were taco stands, and lots of merchandise. Monster promotion girls gave away tons of energy drink and were dressed in very tight outfits. Other sponsors had promotional girls and we got several pictures of them standing next to the buggy.
Lots of people expressed particular interest in the buggy class. People kept stoping by, excitedly looking into the windows and commenting to their friends about our setup or asking questions. The little kids loved the buggy and several asked their parents to take a picture of them with the vehicle. One even tried to help is push the buggy down the parade. The whole experience was like being a minor celebrity. Lots of students got out of school early and came out to see us.
It's funny how Volkswagen Beatles are very popular road vehicles here. In fact, the VW factory in Mexico City produced Classic Beatles until 2004 before switching to the new version. This vehicle class garners a lot of respect among racers and non racers alike. It's the hardest class to finish the race in. Most contestants in the our class of vehicle break down before reaching the finish. It's also the classic style of Baja racing and was how it started.
