Mag 7: Desert Racing and Pit Services Support
Pit with the Best
Who is MAG 7?
We are a family of racers and pit crews. Every member is a volunteer who enjoys Baja, desert racing, and the adrenaline rush of a day out in the pits. We’ve embodied that true Baja spirit south of the border for over fifty years. Come and see what the fun is all about.
As a member of MAG 7 you can purchase fuel services, pit services, and additional support services during race events. Only MAG 7 members have access to purchase these services.
Pitting with MAG 7
MAG 7 pits are always set up with safety as our #1 concern. We have over 50 years of experience pitting for professional racers in Baja. All pit locations are marked on the course with 1-mile, ¼ mile, and “Pit Here” signs. We also provide a well-marked entrance and exit for the racers. Fuel, tires, tools, and supplies are staged in the most accessible but safest spots in the pit. We are there with what you need keep racing and we have an excellent reputation for affordability, reliability, and attention to detail.
In addition to fuel, tires, power tools, and supplies, MAG 7 also sets up our long-range antenna and radio to communicate with the infamous Weatherman and neighboring pits. We stage with cool water, clean rags, and a shady spot so racers can catch a break or eat a quick meal. We’re stoked to be in Baja and we’re there for you.
MAG 7 pits can have as few as two and as many as a dozen people in the pit crew. Five is a typical number, but it depends on how busy the pit will be and where it is located.
For a typical fueling stop, the job assignments might include the following:
-
Talks to the Driver and provides oversight and safety.
-
Wears fire safety gear and works the fuel nozzle.
-
Wears fire safety gear and supports the fueler.
-
Stages additional fuel cans.
-
Talks to the Weatherman and the racers; keeps a record of times and events.
The MAG 7 pit crew checks the race vehicle for every possible problem, including flat tires, leaking fluids, and suspension damage. Any problem that is found is addressed by the most experienced pit crew members. Finally, the Pit Captain releases the vehicle back onto the course, and you’re off!
We promise the most professional and safest experience possible with our crews. Our pit captains and their right-hand crew members — many of whom are military Veterans — have been pitting in Baja for decades. We’ll be there for you to help get you to the finish line.
