SCORE Baja 1000 Peninsula Run

Do you Baja 1000?? If so, why not share the reason on what drives you to do so! 50some days before one of the hardest off-road races on this planet we like to know!

But there are also tons of hard-core off-road fans, race-pilot friends and family members, chase crew members, supporting sponsors that are part of this motor-sport phenomena.

There is never real been a Baja 250, it’s been always the Baja 250 I recall. The name changed for this year a little since MasterCraft Safety became a co-sponsor and it is now official the 24th Annual MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 in 2010. It’s a little long, that name, San Felipe 250 sure “flows” quicker in a conversation but ones got to respect the supporter of the sport. And for Robbie Pierce and MasterCraft to commit and sponsor the event deserves also the recognition within the baja races name. As pre-running over the rugged race course starts tomorrow, Saturday for next month’s 24th Annual MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250, a growing field, that includes many of North Americas best desert racers and a few internationals, have entered this popular spring race. Attracting entries from 22 states and eight countries, the lineup includes a race-record 34 entries in the Trophy-Truck class, the top league in SCORE desert off-road racing.

The 672.85-mile-long Baja 1000 race is over, and 328 starters were boiled down to just a handful of winners in various classes. The premier events were taken by Andy and Scott McMillin in the trophy truck category, in a Chevrolet Silverado Geisser. Andy won the race three years ago as a Robby Gordon’s co-driver, but this year beat the NASCAR pilot by three places.
