Thats been that way since the 80’s. You stay out of certain areas in town, park in gated/guarded areas that are trusted and keep friends around. Safer than downtown LA imho lol
The mexican booby traps are common on race course. They dont dump gas and burn your shit though. Now if you go on a ranchers land, shit will get western if they catch you
You gotta understand that the 1000 down there is like our superbowl. All of baja comes out to watch. Race teams are they greatest thing in the world to them. The cartel doesnt even mess around with it because of the revenue it brings them. They use it to their advantage from american money being spent at bars, strip clubs and food. Now you stay our of their private bars/clubs and you dont go walking down unoccupied streets much like mardigras but i have many many friends that go down there for fun or to race and have 0 issues.
Matter of fact, when my brother wrecked his dirt bike racing the 1000 in the pro class with his friends (were currently 3rd overall), he dislocated his shoulder (100mph crash over a culvert). The mexicans jumped in to make sure stayed laying down, didnt move, moved race traffic, radioed weatherman about the crash and helped my dad get to him to get him to a little hospital a couple hours away. He was literally in the middle of no where, half way down the coast on the east side when that happened.
