Well, here we go. It's time to start getting ready for 2015. Before you know it, we'll be nursing a New Year's hang-over. Check out our tentative 2015 Schedule.

WE ARE GOING INTERNATIONAL in 2015. AVE and Baja Promotions will feature four events in the U.S, and two events in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. The mileages for each race range from a 125-miles to a 250-miles, to qualify for the 1K-KUP. This Award is given to the racer who has completed all six events, with the most miles, fastest time and best finish overall.
In 2015, we are adding the ENSENADA CUP for our Friends in Baja, who have been asking us to bring a couple events. We think we have a hands-down most beautiful course ever laid out in Baja and not a single organizer has ever used it. It's on private land and the first course is approximately 27.6 miles with spectacular views.
We've seen and met with a multitude of UTV Racers in Baja who have a difficult time getting to the United States. The two events in Ensenada will bring two long-time friends, important to the growth off-road racing, now in the PURE UTV Series.
NUTS & BOLTS: The best finishing by American or Mexican racers in the two events in Baja using the Overall points finishes wins the ENSENADA CUP.

And one more tweak in the 2015 Calendar. We are offering six (6) events in the PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES but we are only counting your best five (5) finishes in Class and Overall (not in the 1K-KUP where you have to complete all six events to qualify) for the year-end points championships.

We are studying the possibilities of revising the Classes for 2015. Some have recommended to have a PRO & SPORTSMAN 1000cc, 900cc, and 800cc Classes, plus the strictly Sportsman Classes in the Bone Stock 800cc & 1000cc. The BITD/SCORE type cars will fit nicely in the 1000cc Classes.

Stay in touch with us by visiting our website: www.averacing.com or contacting us at info@averacing.com and if you have any influence with your sponsors, have them take a look at our racing program. I think they will get their money's worth.

AVE pronounced in Spanish...AVE

With today’s announcement by BITD/Mad Media of the UTV World Championships in Laughlin, NV, Feb 19-22, smack on top of our already scheduled date for the first PURE 125 UTV race, we have been forced to change the date to earlier in the year.

Please note that the new schedule (see attached) is for the PUREâ€125†– January 30-31, 2015, California City, CA. Sorry for the inconvenience to some of you, but we’ve obviously had to make the change.
One day, we’ll grow big enough so that others will have to choose their dates around our series. In the meantime, we need to bend and flex a bit. Please note of the new date in the series.

Thank you.

Lois and Lou Peralta

Lou, I apologize. Your schedule was one of a few we didn't cross check. I really apologize. We have a lot of respect for you and your series. We will keep you closer in mind for the future. Sorry again. I feel terrible.
 
For immediate press release…

2015 “PURE UTV†SERIES SCHEDULED RELEASED
It’s now an International Series
UTVs HIT BAJA & ENSENADA!

California City, CA – October 4, 2015 – Dates for THE AVE/Baja Promotions 2015 events were released today showing a change of the February date to late January and the addition of one event in the series (from five events to six), including two specific and first-time-ever events in Baja California.

Lou Peralta, CEO of AVE/Baja Promotions just returned from Baja California, with an agreement endorsed not only by land-owners and members of Ejido Coronel Esteban Cantu, but by the Federal, State and City governments for two additional events as part of the 2015 PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT Series.
The additional two events will be in Ensenada, Baja California, MX, on an exclusive basis to AVE/BPR. The route is all inside the famous Ejido Coronel Esteban Cantu, located 18 miles south of Ensenada, near the famous “Bufadora†tourist attraction and on the southern side of Estero Beach.

According to Peralta, the course will consist of a 25.8 mile-loop for the first event in May 27-29, 2015, traveling counter clock-wise and the event scheduled for later in the year, September 11-13, 2015, will run clock-wise.

What makes these two events so unique and bordering on “epic†status is that this route and the Ejido have never been used for any type of event, including off-road. The spectacular views and panoramas that racers will have the opportunity to witness, are no less than breathtaking, as the route meanders through hillsides, ridges, canyons and onto the Pacific Coast beach, before heading inland on a tight but lusty-green canyon before climbing to the top of the mountain range known as Punta Banda and El Retiro, on the way back to the finish. Simply “Spectacular†says Peralta. He added, “I remember being in this area many years ago as we negotiated with the Ejido to possibly place power-generating wind mills, so it was fortunate that I remembered how excited and awe-stricken I was then, when I traveled these fabulous routes.â€
An interesting positive about the location of the race course, in some ways, is that there will be restricted access to all spectators into most of the course, save for specific areas that will be set aside for viewing. An emphasis will be made by the promoter, the city and the Ejido to invite thousands of spectators from Ensenada to view the events, but only inside great viewing spot.
In Baja this is a rare commodity since in the last few decades huge crowds gather along routes of the San Felipe 250 and Baja 500 and 1000 events, at times presenting dangerous situations for locals and racers alike. Instead, access to the race course will be limited through certain entryways, and in some cases spectators will not be able to leave until the event is concluded, but they will be able to see spectacular racing.

The first event in Baja and third event as part of the PURE UTV SERIES, is The Punta Banda “125†– May 15-17, 2015. There will be pre-rerunning starting on the Wednesday, May13 and Thursday, May 14, before the event, and on Friday, May 15 from 6 a.m. until Noon, before Contingency and Tech opens in Ensenada, in front of “host†hotel, the famous Hotel San Nicolas, where hundreds of functions have been held over forty years and where Sunday’s awards will also take place.
The second Ensenada event, the PURE “200†and fifth outing of the PURE UTV Series is set for September 11-13, 2015, this time the course will run clock-wise. More details after the first event is concluded.

It is anticipated that a large throng of U.S. racers will take part in these two events, especially since Baja California Tourism and Ensenada in particular, are pulling all the stops to insure and assure racers, their families and friends, that “safety†for their travels into Mexico is paramount.
It’s anticipated that certain times before the weekend of the race will be set aside by the offices of Tourism and the Ensenada Municipality to meet racers at designated border spots to “caravan†to Ensenada. Peralta, who has promoted hundreds of events in Baja since 1986, indicated that when he first started bringing power-craft or jet-craft racers into Baja, this was an added feature that assured everyone from the States that they were not only welcome but were safe to travel. After the first couple of times, racers just came in on their own as most of us have been doing for over forty years. More details will be provided as the date gets near.

But what prompted Peralta to return to Baja is “The incredible amount of talent in Baja Norte and Sur who are now beginning to get into UTVs. This is an area we believe it’s going to explode with UTV racers,†said Peralta. He added that no less than forty-plus racers, who used to race with Baja Promotions in cars, trucks and quads, now own some type of UTV in Baja and can’t wait to have a series such as the PURE Series come into the country. He also stated, "It's my job to convince manufacturers and after-market producers to come and join us because it's going to be huge. It's "Deja vu" all over again, when we first started promoting off-road races there, we brought into the sport some of the top names currently racing in Baja and in the States from Mexico. The talent was always there. I know we'll do it again."

The 2015 PURE UTV OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES is a six-event series consisting of the PURE “125†– January 30-31 in Cal-City; the PURE “150†– Mar 27-28 – Cal City; the PURE PUNTA BANDA “125†– Ensenada, Baja California, MX, May 15-17; the PURE “150†– Jul 17-18, Night Race in Cal-City; the PURE PUNTA BANDA “200†– Ensenada, Baja California, MX – September 11-13; and the final event of the series, which pays “Double Points†the PURE “250†-- October 23-24 – in Cal City. CA.

Racer’s best five (5) of the six events in the series will be counted for the Class and Points Championships. Moreover, there will be a “Special award†to the best Overall points finisher in the two Ensenada events, coincidently, named the “Ensenada KUP,†where both Mexican and American racers will be eligible to win it.
Finally, the “Crown Jewel,†of awards is the “1K-KUP†given, once again, at the end of the season to the racer/team with the most miles and best Overall finishes in the Series.
