A Woman's Off-Road Adventure at the Baja 1000

What does it take to race -- not drive, but race -- 1,300 miles through hostile Mexican dessert -- dust storms, broken car parts and all? And what if you were just your average, everyday female automotive journalist -- not an experienced off-roader -- trying to make that trek? Jackie Liu will tell you, in her aptly named article about the Baja 1000, No Sleep 'Til Cabo.

Liu drove a Mitsibishi Montero with some other folks, trying to keep up with DXR Racing's Dan Fresh, who was in a Mitsubishi Raider. Not an easy task, considering they had to drive two days, non-stop. More women are getting into off-road racing than ever before. Think you could handle this, too?
