Dust to Glory honors the Baja 1000, where everybody's a legend.- BY BILL GALLO

To be fair, the Baja 1000 (more formally known these days as the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000) is quite a test. In big-time stock-car racing, team owners and chief mechanics used to caution their drivers to "keep it on the black part." You know, the pavement. In off-road racing, there is no black part, just an endless ribbon of ruts and arroyos mined with bone-jarring jolts and unforeseen hazards -- animal, mineral and vegetable. If you feel like dodging a cactus or a cow at 100 miles an hour, this is the event for you.
