But will it happen? That would be awesome if they were able to move it to Chile.

Although I love the Baja I have to disagree with this statement.

sorry man, not in a million years. Baja 1000 is just that, 1000 miles.

The Dakar rally, for 2008 (just before encountering this roadblock), was increased by another 621 miles for a grand total of 5762 miles. pretty much covering a part of the African continent, spanning desolate lands and harsh Terrain.
