MEXICO

We live in San Clemente, California. We are just 74 miles north of the Mexican border city of Tijuana. Nevertheless, it took me until 2007 to see my very first race in Mexico. It always seemed as if it was difficult to get racing information from south of the border. Following my initial Mexican trackchasing conquest I went back for more in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 and now in 2017.

Despite the reported dangers of visiting Mexico we’ve never had a problem when visiting these Mexican tracks. The people and food are wonderful. NASCAR has a major racing series in the country. That series can provide several future trackchasing trips to Mexico.

In the meantime, you can check on the six tracks I HAVE seen in Mexico to date. In those few visits, we’ve seen lots of the country and eaten some outstanding Mexican food. We even stop at roadside “restaurants” when we come south of the border.

As you read along you might find some information that reminds you of a similar experience you have had or provides some stimulus for you to take a trip to these parts of the world. I think you will find the scenery interesting and the people most friendly.

Mexico was the 10th different country where I have had the opportunity to see racing.
