True Champion: The Johnny Campbell Story The Baja 1,000 is the oldest, longest and toughest Off-Road race in the world. Less tame than the Wild West, racers in the Baja must overcome mountains, deserts, forests, rivers, wild animals, banditos, and fierce competition at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour for 1,000 miles just to finish. To be victorious is superhuman and to win again and again is almost impossible. Many consider the Baja 1,000 the greatest test of man and machine in the world
