MAG 7 Pit Support at the NORRA 500
Supporting Baja Racers Since 1967!

The Magnificent 7 Desert Pit Services team is back and better than ever for the 2024 NORRA 500! MAG 7 will provide 2 pits each day that are spaced so that racers can be reliably fueled no matter what happens on Baja highways. Teacher strikes, traffic accidents, closed gas stations, road construction blocks, no problem! MAG 7 has you covered!

MAG 7 has supported Baja racers during the very first NORRA 500 in 1968! MAG 7 is a 501c7 non-profit fraternal organization. The “Brothers and Sisters” in MAG 7 are all volunteers who support their extended family of offroad racers like you because they love doing it and they love doing it together.

NORRA 500 SPECIAL – The first 15 racers to register with MAG 7 get $50 worth of 91 pump gas at no charge with special discount code 2024NORRA500.

MAG 7 will be providing only “Full Service” at all pits. All pits will be located in Transit sections of the course. Fuels offered include 91 pump gas, UTV 95, 100 leaded, 100 unleaded, and 110 leaded. In addition to fuel, Full Service includes temporary repairs and other field support. MAG 7 pits include generators, welders, lights, air, tools, and other important pit gear.

With Full Service, racers pre-order fuel which is purchased and hauled to the pit location then dumped by the MAG 7 pit crews. Full Service is available for a pit service fee of $350 which includes your MAG 7 membership for this race. The first 15 racers to sign up with MAG 7 get $50 off their fuel order.

NORRA will provide additional information to racers regarding exact locations for all pits in the mileage summary, the race books, and on your Stella tracker. All MAG 7 pits will monitor 153.380 which should be pre-programmed into most race radios as “MAG 7”.

MAG 7 “Pit 0” HQ at Campo Playa RV Park on Boulevard las Dunas in Ensenada will be open during Registration/Tech. Spares must be dropped off and race fuel must be picked up by Friday at noon.

SAFETY NOTE: For safety reasons, all racers are limited to ordering 20 gallons of fuel at each MAG 7 pits. Sign-ups and fuel orders can be made on the MAG 7 website at: www.mag7desertpitservices.org. The deadline to signup is 3 pm on Monday, October 7th.

The volunteer pit captains and crews of MAG 7 are excited to be able to support you at the 2024 NORRA 500. Your pit support fees are lower with MAG 7 because MAG 7 is not a business and the pit fees simply cover some of the MAG 7 volunteers’ expenses to be in Baja for you!

If you have any questions or are interested in joining the MAG 7 family, please contact them on their website or Facebook page. MAG 7 Desert Pit Services…supporting Baja racers since 1967!
