Andy Grider was the winner of the inaugural Baja Rally in 2013.

Modeled after the world famous Dakar Rally the Baja Rally forces riders to navigate and find their own way to the finish of a secret course each day before rendezvousing with teams and officials at a unique location each afternoon. According the promoters, the Baja Rally visits multiple locations with historic and cultural value.

Former Dakar Rally competitor Scott Bright rode a Rally Management Services KTM to this year’s win, finishing ahead of more experienced Baja competitors such as inaugural winner Andy Grider, Steve Hengeveld Nino Rojas and Chilly White. Bright finished with a total time of 13 hours, 36 minutes and 17 seconds. First-time rally racer Charles Jirsa won the Rally 1 class and earned the “Rookie of the Rally” honors while finishing sixth overall.
