The New Mexico Offroad League has done a great job of promoting the desert racing scene here in New Mexico helping this great niche of automotive racing prosper and grow!
The 2012 Cinco De Baja 200 hosted in Albuquerque / Rio Rancho, New Mexico on May 4th and 5th was a great success and brought out many racers and spectators alike to the west side of Southern Blvd. to check out some high speed off road racing!
A big thanks goes out to Heather McMillin of Automotive Digression for sharing these shots with us! continue reading »

Groups like the New Mexico Off Road League and the New Mexico Off-Road Racing Series have been putting together a plethora of well organized, safe, large desert racing events on the sand dunes, back roads, and mud beds of New Mexico.
The size and payout of many of these events rivals many of the big name desert races held nationally and the number of racers and spectators alike is growing daily as these events get further recognition. Recently the New Mexico Off-Road Racing Series has put on the Gallup National Off-Road Race in Gallup, New Mexico and the New Mexico Off Road League has put on many large events including the Cinco de Baja 150 just outside of Albuquerque.
While many may think that this is an adult only sport, you’d be surprised to find out that a good number of the racers are actually kids with very supportive parents! On that note, we would like to introduce you to 8 year old Dillon Carlson out of Rio Rancho, New Mexico. continue reading »

The NM Offroad Racing Series will be putting on another event in Gallup on August 6th and 7th, 2011. This event will be a New Mexico Desert Racing Club points race and will follow the same track format as the previous race held in Gallup this past Memorial Day, the Gallup National Off Road Race.
Over 100 quads and 128 bikes registered to race the Gallup National so we hope that even more racers are able to register for this upcoming race since it doesn’t fall on a holiday weekend like the previous race did.

This past Friday, May 20th, 2011 we headed out to the Moriarty Motocross track to check out the action. There were approximately 40 or so bikes out that evening and we hear that is a low count for most Friday nights at the races.
It’s truly a great thing that Albuquerque has venues like this just a few miles away!
We also invite you to check out the Motorcycle section of the forums. continue reading »
