For immediate press release…

AVE RACING/BAJA PROMOTIONS & EJIDO CORONEL
ESTEBAN CANTU SIGN 2015 “PURE UTV†AGREEMENT​

Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico – November 8, 2014 – Officials from Ejido Coronel Esteban Cantu and AVE Racing/Baja Promotions’ Lou Peralta, who took time out from the Baja 1000, to sign a multi-year agreement/contract that will allow AVE/BP the exclusive right to use their Ejido for two events per year for the sole purposes of including two events as part of the AVE/BP 2015 PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES, met at the Hotel Las Rosas to sign the agreement. A formal press conference is scheduled in Ensenada early December.


Members of the Ejido, including its President, Rafael Ponce Castro (next to AVE/BP CEO,
Lou Peralta), singing the multi-year agreement that will allow Peralta to include at least
two events of his PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES in Baja California exclusively in the Ejido.

The first event in Baja will take place May 16, 2015 with the running of the PURE “125†consisting of five, 27-plus mile laps inside the Ejido. The course that is already available is unique because of the varying terrain that it will be spectacular.
According to Peralta, “We have found possibly the best course in Baja, bar-none. It has everything that is Baja, except perhaps the deep silt. It will feature sand washes and canyons, tight trails and hard-packed two rail roads, a beach run, hill climbs and down hills, all in one lap. A little bit of everything that you see in Baja but in short spurts inside the Ejido.â€
Peralta also added special “Spectator Areas†will be set aside to allow the thousands of spectators expected from Ensenada and other parts of the Baja Peninsula to watch this unique and epic event, without getting in the way of race traffic as often happens when racing in Baja.

The second event in Baja, as part of the Series, will take place September 12, possibly using the same course but this time going the opposite direction, which in fact becomes an entirely new course.

Ejido Esteban Cantu has never been used for any type of event so this marks the inaugural event to be held there. Quite a feat for AVE/BP Racing, to obtain such a unique area for their UTV racing. The Ejido extends from the well-known tourist attraction; La Bufadora, all the way around southwest almost to Santo Tomas.


Using portions of the Ejido massive terrain, a 27.6-mile course is anticipated to be used as
part of The 2015 PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES.

The other four events in the PURE UTV Series consist of the PURE “125â€, January 31-California City; the PURE “150†March 28-California City; May 16 in Ensenada; July 18 for the PURE “150†again In California City; and returning to Ensenada for the PURE “200†September 12, then completing the PURE UTV season with the PURE “250†a double points race, October 24 in California City.

There is a “Special Award†set up for the two Mexico events. The ENSENADA KUP will be awarded to the fastest and the highest finisher in the two Ensenada events.

Pre-running will open the weekend before the event for those who have signed-up and have a wrist band or receipt. There will be no charge to enter the Ejido.
On the Thursday before the event, racers from the United States who wish to take advantage of this service, will be met by authorities in Tecate, Baja California, where a reception will welcome them into Mexico and then racers will be escorted from Tecate to Ensenada by Federal Police and members of the State and Municipality Tourism offices to Ensenada.
Pre-running will again open Friday before the event from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Registration and Tech inspection takes place in front of race headquarters, Hotel San Nicolas from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.

The PURE UTV race will start at Noon. Motorcycles and ATVs start at 9 a.m. (four-laps). The award ceremony is scheduled back at the San Nicolas Hotel at 8 pm. Saturday night.

The 2015 PURE Series also features the rearranging of a couple of classes and a brand new class for “Turbos†only. Gone is the PURE 700 Class which has been amalgamated with the “850†Class, and this year AVE/BP Racing has split the 900cc and 1000cc Classes to make it even more competitive.
All classes, except for the Bone Stock 850 and 1000 classes, which are for Sportsman only, offer Pro and Sportsman categories.
