NORRA Gives Thanks to Meyers Manx

NORRA would like to take a moment to recognize Meyers Manx for their support of the Safari Expedition and NORRA’s racing series in 2025. The relationship between NORRA and Meyers Manx goes all the way back to 1967 when Vic Wilson and Ted Mangels won the very first Mexican 1000 driving a Meyers Manx. Like NORRA, Meyers Manx is the original. Bruce Meyers created his prototype “Big Red” back in 1964. There have been many imitators over the years, but Meyers Manx has endured as the only vehicle that captivates all your senses whether taking in its beauty or enjoying the experience behind the wheel. Available in gas powered as well as electric models, each custom built vehicle can be configured from mild to wild in a rainbow of unique colors and finishes according to the owner’s desires. Nothing else compares to the fun and adventures you will have, on or off the road, in your personalized Meyers Manx creation.

“As the creator of the original fiberglass dune buggy, Meyers Manx has a long history of excellence in both on and off-road performance. Our reimagined Meyers Manx Classic Buggy is the only car on the road designed to bring Smiles for Miles™. From fully custom bespoke builds to turnkey inventory, own the legend and order your Meyers Manx Heritage Classic today.”

“The Meyers Manx Resorter EV is our iconic four-seater updated for modern communities. With a comfortable rear bench and easy access to all four seats, the Resorter EV lends itself to local adventure. This isn’t a crossover. It’s a conversation starter. Get in, and go make a scene.”

NORRA’s Meyers Manx Safari Expedition is incredible in a Meyers Manx, but is open to all off road capable, street legal vehicles. The Safari Expedition is unique to NORRA. It is a guided tour of Baja that puts you right in the mix of NORRA’s Baja Mexican 1000 or NORRA 500. You will take the green flag each day, follow parts of the racecourse, and have time for photos, scenic vistas, and local fare. You will see the Baja that only the most seasoned Baja travelers know. From spectacular missions to fabulous street tacos, your guide will make sure to get you to the best spots and across the finish line each night. At this year’s NORRA 500 which takes place October 9-12, the Safari Expedition begins stateside with a caravan across the border on day one.

If you love the food, culture and spectacular scenery of Baja, you have to join us at a NORRA event. No other racing series has a more diverse field of cars, trucks, buggies, motorcycles and UTV’s competing. Entries span the entire history of over 50 years of offroad racing. In order to accommodate such a unique collection of race vehicles, the overall classification structure is determined by the era of racing the cars competed in. That way, competitors can be matched against similar cars that all have the same technology.

Everything you need to know about NORRA’s Baja Mexican 1000, and NORRA 500 can be found at www.norra.com Online registration is open now for the NORRA 500. Go to the site and find out for yourself why NORRA has exploded in popularity. You can experience the same wonder and sense of achievement those early thrill seekers sought in the 1960’s today when you join NORRA in Baja. Don’t miss out on the fun and fierce competition.
