14/06/2026

A little over one week after the Baja 500 and we are already counting down till the 400. Tech day was a full day of meeting everyone, tourniquet application demos, displaying the and tools, and sharing the access files with those who didn’t get them. Very grateful for the connections we made, people we talked to, and the relationships we established that will continue to grow. Oh, if you didn’t get a shirt and want one, check out our website!

We had the chance to sit down with Ride Baja and Baja Uncovered during Tech and Contingency at this years Baja 500. Looking forward to seeing the full length interview. For now, enjoy this brief snippet from our conversation!

While staged yesterday afternoon at RM339, we listened in and tracked as the unthinkable happened. Just over the summit from us, approximately 15 race miles away, a racer had laid on the ground, took his final breath, and passed away. There have been lots of misinformation spread over the past 24 hours regarding this incident. He was not ran over. The best trophy truck racers in the world stopped their race, got out of their cars, signaled the emergency to officials and did what they could to help. This occurred at the absolute worse part of the course. Access was only obtainable by going in on race course. Helicopters were not able to land due to lack of an LZ and mountainous terrain. Racers joined together to extract him to an area where he would be reachable. May the racer rest in peace. Thoughts go out to his family, friends, teammates, competitors, and those racers their who witnessed and assisted.

At approximately 3:10 PM during the Baja 500, we were notified of a head on collision at VCP276, not involving race vehicles and not on race course. We were staged in a position just north of the incident, at RM339. We arrived on scene in approximately 20 minutes to find a two vehicle accident with 5 immediate patients. Initial care and plan had been set up by another chase team member, not with us, who was there to help. We were able to utilize our equipment, training, and manpower to lend a hand with evaluation, stabilization, and extraction of all patients. Thank you to all who played key roles in saving the lives of those affected. I have been in contact with them and they are all recovering in stable condition.

Our course access files are complete for this years Baja 500. Please comment or DM us your email address and we will forward them over. These are meant for racers and their teams only and are to be used in emergency situations. They are compiled to the best of our ability but we make no promise or guarantee on current conditions and accessibility of roads. As always, respect all land and leave no trace.

With prerunning open for the 2026 Baja 500, crews should start thinking about how they will get to their racer in case of an emergency. Whether it be mechanical or medical, remote rescues are all to common in Baja. Yes, the organization has resources that can help, but every crew should be prepared for the possibility of a self-rescue. We are working on our remote access map as well as our course pre-plan that will come out shortly.

RACER RESCUE - Effective 5/20/2026. After learning of another organization with the name Baja Rescue Logistics, we have decided to rebrand as Racer Rescue. This is was done to avoid confusion between the organizations, and to work alongside one another as mutual assets in cases of emergency. The mission, the members, the supporters, and the goals all stay the same. Racer Rescue is the future. Learn more about us through the link in our bio.
