According to El Universal
ENSENADA. BC. Everything was ready for the starting flag; more than 500
pilots were heating up their engines when a last participant
registered, a pick up truck with the legend "Aztec Warrior" the vehicle
was registered with number 113, the driver without taking off his helmet
greeted one of the organizers and identified himself as "Carlos Garcia"
the mechanical revision of the truck took place without any problem
being watched at all times by armed men traveling in Suburban pick ups.
This form of registration attracted the attention of people around the
desk, especially because they identified elements of the Tijuana police
with the pilot.
Before all these, businessman Ramon Castro from Ensenada rented a
helicopter for the companions of "Carlos Garcia" to follow the race
from the air.

Distrito Federal— Federal Authorities left open the possibility that the body substracted from the facilities of the Medical Forense Service of Ensenada by an armed command belongs to the son of Alicia Arellano Felix,one of the present heads of the cartel of drugs situated in Tijuana, and not that of Francisco Medardo Leon Hinojosa, "El Abulon" as it was informed non-officially yesterday.
Versions provided by authorities close to the investigation of a air accident where two men died and have not been officially identified explained that the one who died was the nephew of the founders of the cartel of the Arellano Brothers, he was traveling in the helicopter that crashed during the Baja Mil.
Aboard the aerocraft Leon Hinojosa "El Abulon" was also traveling, according to the latest versions he was injured and hospitalized at holspital Velmar and guarded by Army and Ministerial Police elements.
Federal authorities had initially pointed in an extraofficial manner, that the son of Alicia Arellano was participating in a vehicle registered with the number 113, but this Friday the authorities presented a new version where it is presumed that a member of the Arellano Felix family was actually aboard the aircraft that crashed.

CRASH STORY GOES SIDEWAYS.
Watch video of the crash at the link below[/q]
MEXICO CITY: A mysterious helicopter crash during Baja California's storied Baja 1000 off-road race set off a strange chain of events that left four people dead and two missing after a nighttime raid on a local morgue, officials said Thursday.
The unidentified helicopter had apparently been observing the early stages of the race about 100 kilometers (60 miles) west of the city of Ensenada on Tuesday when it slammed into the ground, killing two of four people aboard and injuring two others. Witnesses said the chopper may have become entangled in power lines.
Questions soon arose about the three passengers who'd been aboard, whom local media initially identified as cameramen filming the race. The pilot survived.
But Jaime Nieto, Ensenada's civil defense director, whose department responded to the crash, said the helicopter was a rental and had no connection with the race's sponsor. "We don't know what they were doing there," he said.
The two injured passengers were taken to a local hospital, and the dead were taken to the Ensenada morgue.
Prosecutors identified one of the dead as a high-ranking drug trafficker, apparently linked to the Tijuana-based Arellano Felix cartel. They could not confirm his name.
On Wednesday night, a commando of armed men in at least a dozen SUVs raided the morgue, kidnapped two morgue employees and fled with one of the corpses, apparently that of the reputed drug trafficker.
The convoy sped away on a rural road toward the border city of Tecate, but on the way encountered an Ensenada police patrol vehicle with two officers inside.
Both police officers were later found shot to death, said an Ensenada law enforcement official who was not authorized to speak on the record.
Mexican drug gangs have gone to great lengths in the past — attacking morgues, ambulances and cemeteries — to recover the bodies of fallen colleagues.
The Baja 1000 race is a notoriously rough 1,296-mile (2,074 kilometer) off-road event for motorcycles, four-wheel and all-terrain vehicles that started Tuesday and ends Friday with awards ceremonies in Cabo San Lucas.
