  • What Racers Say about Mag 7

    “We pitted at 3 MAG 7 locations.  All were perfectly located and efficiently run.  All the individuals that we worked with were awesome and definitely added to the positive experience. Thanks!”

    — S. Fulage, 2023 Mexican 1000

  • What Racers Say about Mag 7

    “The MAG 7 pit off somewhere near the Poles on the Salada saved my life at the ‘18 Baja 500. I was bordering on heat stroke almost 200 miles into my stint and had 60-75 miles to go to get to San Matias and they got me cooled off and hydrated and on my way. Very cool of them to be out there and I plan on supporting them anyway I can.”

    — B. Hagle, 2018 Baja 500

  • What Racers Say about Mag 7

    “It’s crazy, I didn’t realize MAG 7 is like a charity organization.  All their people are volunteers and unpaid.  They are out because they want to help us get through the race.  They are racers and race crew members themselves. A really cool organization!  Thank you, MAG 7!!!”

  • What Racers Say about Mag 7

    — T. Vidaurri, 2022 Mexican 1000

    — J. Byus, 2022 Mexican 1000

  • What Racers Say about Mag 7

    “A teachers strike blocked Highway 1 just after Insurgentes.  Our chase truck and everyone else’s didn’t get through but the MAG 7 pit fueled me and kept me going.  I even got an extra 3-gallon splash from a MAG 7 truck on the pavement heading to the finish line in La Paz.”

    K. Jansen, 2024 Mexican 1000

  • What Racers Say about Mag 7

    “Thank you all so much for your gas and pit services at the NORRA 500! We basically have a non-existent chase crew, so we probably wouldn’t race at all if we couldn’t rely on you all!”

    G. Payne, 2024 NORRA 500

The Magnificent 7 Pit Team

What sets MAG 7 apart from other Baja racing pit organizations? Earned family! Founded in 1967, we are a band of brothers and sisters, united by our love of offroad racing, Baja, and each other. Many of us are Veterans. All are volunteers. Together, we hope to provide race support and “people in the pits” for another 50 years!

MAG 7 is a 50-year-old tax-exempt 501c7 non-profit organization incorporated in California. The IRS reserves the 501c7 designation for “social clubs” that are organized for the members’ pleasure, recreation, or other nonprofit purposes. So, when you see a picture of a MAG 7 pit crew in the dust at night in the middle of nowhere and they are smiling, know that they are there for love, not money. All MAG 7 fees pay for equipment, supplies, and expenses — nothing more.

Working a pit in Baja is difficult, dirty, and requires long sleepless hours. All MAG 7 members understand and accept these conditions. Most say that their first trip to pit to Baja was a life-changing event. They had joined the family of racers and pit crews. The military Veterans in MAG 7 will tell you that it captures something that they miss from their service. They are, again, a part of something much bigger than themselves with a team of their brothers and sisters. MAG 7 can field up to 200 pit crew members in as many as 18 pits for a peninsula-length race.

“Racing is life; everything before and after is just waiting.”

— STEVE McQUEEN, ORIGINAL MAG 7 RACER
