Andy & Scott McMillin capture Trophy Truck, overall 4wheel victory

Baja 1000 — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 19:43:35 +0000

For the second time in three years, the Southern California son and father race team of Andy and Scott McMillin have etched their names again on the granite history of the world’s most legendary desert race and along with the team of Kendall Norman/Quinn Cody/Logan Holladay advanced their part in motorsports history by capturing the overall 4wheel and 2wheel victories in the 44th Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 desert race. The season finale of the five-race 2011 SCORE Desert Series ended late Saturday in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.
Andy McMillin, 24, and his father Scott McMillin, 51, of San Diego, teamed as they did in this race in 2009 to capture the overall 4wheel title in the granddaddy of all desert racing in their No. 31 McMillin Realty Ford F-150 SCORE Trophy Truck. The featured SCORE racing division has a race-high 29 starters.

Norman, Santa Barbara, Calif., Cody, Los Olivos, Calif. and Holladay, Buellton, Calif., team on the No. 1x JCR Honda Racing Honda CRF450X withstood the challenge to cover the 705-mile course in the fastest time of all 278 starters in the race. In the unlimited Class 1 that had 25 starters, 18-year old Justin Davis, Chino Hills, Calif., powered his Chevy-powered ESM open-wheel desert race car to his third class win of the year in his first year in the ultra-competitive class.

After complete review of the data tracking devices used by each vehicle in the race and with time penalties assessed accordingly for course deviations and/or speeding on the brief pavement seconds used as part of the race course, the results were declared official by SCORE International officials on Sunday morning.
As the finish line in the heart of Ensenada closed Saturday night at 10:18 p.m. PST for 155 official finishers in the 44th annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, it was obvious that another memorable and colorful chapter had been added to the legacy of this popular desert race in the northern part of the magnificent Baja California peninsula.

For the first time in race history, SCORE Trophy Trucks were required to re-start at race mile five after a local construction big rig truck jack-knived, rolled and block the course. With the course mileage adjusted to 700 miles for the marquee SCORE racing division for high-tech, 850 horsepower unlimited production trucks, 13 SCORE Trophy Trucks began starting at 11:17 a.m. (PST) but were forced to stop as the construction truck blocked the race course. SCORE officials decided to move the other 16 vehicles in the class in caravan-style to race mile five where they officially began to leave the start line at 12:23 p.m.

This incident forced the balance of the classes to be pushed back one and a half hours to begin starting at 1:03 p.m. This year’s race started for the 37th time and finished for the 21st time in Ensenada. The race started and finished on Boulevard Costero adjacent to the picturesque Bahia de Todos Santos in front of the historic Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center in the heart of Ensenada.

As all three top finishers crossed the line physically within one total minute of each other, the Vanderwey team earned their best finish in SCORE’s marquee racing division in this class in this race with a time of 14:54:11 (46.97mph) while Menzies, who secured the 2011 SCORE Trophy Truck and SCORE Overall point championship with his third place finish as a SCORE rookie racer, completed the course in 14:55:40 (46.90mph).

Fourth overall and in SCORE Trophy Truck was Andy’s uncle and Scott McMillin’s brother, Mark McMillin, El Cajon, Calif. who with his son Daniel McMillin, La Mesa, Calif. and Chuck Hovey, Escondido, Calif., ran a time of 15:19:53 (45.66mph) in their No. 23 McMillin Racing Ford F-150.

Adding to the McMillin family legacy in SCORE Baja racing, Mark’s youngest son Luke McMillin, 18, El Cajon, Calif., with driving assistance from Justin Smith, Capistrano Beach, Calif. won Class 1/2-1600 for the second time this season and the first time in this race to secure the season point championship his class for the second straight year in an AlumiCraft-VW.

Capping off the most spectacular SCORE race in the McMillin family’s 36-year history of SCORE desert racing, Scott McMillin’s daughter, Jessica McMillin, 26, overcame an early rollover near Ojos Negros to finish the season undefeated with five wins with her victory Saturday in the Protruck class in the No. 1331 McMillin Realty Ford F-150. She was the only SCORE racer this season to win her class in all five SCORE Desert Series races. Jessica, Andy, Daniel and Luke McMillin are all third-generation SCORE desert racers, continuing the lasting legacy left by family patriarch Corky McMillin, who passed away in 2006. Jessica McMillin also earned the SCORE Protruck class championship for the season.

Finishing a career-best fifth overall and in SCORE Trophy Truck was Clyde Stacy, 66, of Bristol, Tenn., who with Juan Carlos Lopez, Tecate, Mexico, finished in 15:40:38 (44.65mph) in the No. 18 RPM Off-Road Chevy Silverado.

Finishing seventh overall after starting first in SCORE Trophy Truck in the No. 54 Chevy Silverado was reality TV personality Jesse James, Austin, Texas who covered the course splitting the driving with Jeff Geiser, Phoenix, in 16:24:02 (42.68mph). Enjoying his best season in 10 years of SCORE desert racing, James finished in the top 10 in his class in all three races he ran in 2011.

Then the course heads to the Pacific Ocean below San Vicente and past Erendira, back inland up through Santo Tomas then turning northeast just past Uruapan winding its way back to Ojos Negros for the final charge back to Ensenada.

Team Vildosola #21 Red Bull Trophy Truck victorious

Baja 1000 — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 15:24:02 +0000

[simage=15,144,n]

Tavo and Gus Vildolsola are the first Mexican National team to claim the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 victory in it’s 43rd edition!! Averaging 55.8 mp/h in their #21 Red Bull Trophy Truck they covered the distance of 1061 miles from Ensenada to La Paz in 19:00:04 hrs. With that Vildolsola Racing also beat the motorcycle overall time of the winning 1x Honda. Robby Gordon, in his first outing with new colors – he’s now sponsored by his own, new energy drink “Speed Energy” finished in second place. He damaged a drive shaft and had some GPS issues throughout the race. Robby Gordon claims this is what cost him the overall win.
Roger Norman and Navigator Lance Clifford piloted the Crystal Bay Casino Ford #8 Trophy Truck to a hard fought 3rd place. Alternator issues during the race been reported.
BJ “Ballistic” Baldwin in his #97 General Tire shoed Trophy Truck finishes 4th after some late race repairs (crankshaft sensor replacement about 20 miles out from the finish-line) and hard push for the front. Gary Weyhrich crosses the finish line in 5th place and is the first of the Jimco made Trophy Trucks.
At Class 1 #101 Steve Appleton takes his ironman drive seriously as he leads #103 Dan McMillin by approximately 40 minutes. AGM – All German Motorsports #108 Martin Christensen rolled last night at RM620. Everyone is okay. They try to finish…. car is still showing “0″ speed, second Class 1 from AGM, the Chevy powered buggy with Armin Kremer is moving near Loreto…

The SCORE Trophy Truck class is the premium class at SCORE racing and them vehicles “from” another planet!! Their is still plenty of racing going on despite the few privileged teams that already arrived in La Paz. Check the different trackers like the TDCOM eViewer Satellite Tracking and other trackers we offer (in top menu). See how the local BCS drivers finish, most noticeable in Class 8, with Tom Bradley and Stanley Burns (Clyde Stacy is show leading in that class at the moment).

The Oshkosh Extreme Racing team will run its Light Concept Vehicles (LCV) through the rugged 1,061-mile desert course from Ensenada to La Paz. “Oshkosh engineers are dedicated to producing the most advanced vehicle technologies for a variety of highly-specialized industries,” said Chris Yakes, Oshkosh Corporation vice president of Advanced Products Engineering and Oshkosh Extreme Racing team member. “In pursuit of next-generation technologies for future fleets, we’ve been testing our concept vehicles in remote locations in the United States, and we are now competing in the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 — our most intense challenge to date. We are excited about this opportunity
The two Oshkosh Extreme Racing vehicles, numbered M1 and M2 for the race, will be driven by members of California Gold Racing (CGR), led by legendary race mogul Glenn Harris.

“Oshkosh got its start as a developer of severe-duty four-wheel drive trucks, so it is only fitting that it competes its latest concept vehicle in the most extreme off-road race — the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000,” said Sal Fish, SCORE International’s president and CEO, which has sanctioned and produced the event since 1975. “We’ve created a new class for the Oshkosh Extreme Racing Team based on their vehicle’s unique capabilities, weight and dimensions, and look forward to seeing it perform.”

Tom Klauer to drive for Western Motorsports in famed 2010 Baja 1000

Baja 1000 — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 00:24:52 +0000

It may be five-months away, but the most grueling long distance off-road race known to man takes months of preparation. Western Motorsports began preparing today by announcing the driver lineup and primary sponsors for their Pro Truck Ford entry into the 43rd Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. Veteran road course racer Tom Klauer will make his off-road debut in the event along with team regulars Dave Mason and Rick Backus. Primary sponsors for the #1265 Pro Truck Ford will be Pick-n-Pull Self-Service Auto and Truck Dismantlers and Eleven Western Builders.

The race will begin in Ensenada, Mexico on November 17th and competitors will drive under the clock attempting to finish in La Paz, Mexico located at the bottom of the Baja California Peninsula. Dave Mason is a former winner of the prestigious motorsports event and carries over 20-years of Baja Racing experience. Rick Backus is a long time team owner-sponsor, who has taken over as a driver and racked up impressive finishes over the last several years at the Pro Truck level. Tom Klauer was added to form a trio due to the long enduring race. Although it will mark Klauer’s first-ever Baja off-road race he’s no stranger to the terrain or to driving race cars.

Klauer’s passion for race cars began with driving Indy-Lite style race cars. He’s graduated at an advanced level from two of the most recognized driving schools in the country (Russell School of Auto Racing and Bondurant). Klauer has over 50-career race starts with 15 of those finishes on the podium. An avid collector of vintage race cars, Klauer houses 10 historic NASCAR’s that he actively races. But for Klauer there are a few events he has wanted an opportunity to compete in. One is a professional NASCAR event, which he’s entered into on July 18th at Portland International Raceway and the other is the Baja 1000.

“In past years I have had the opportunity to gain some off road experience in the varied terrain of the Baja Peninsula. I started my Baja experience in the early 80’s when Cabo San Lucas was barely a mark on the map. It’s such a combination of beautiful landscape and challenging rugged terrain,” said Klauer. “Who wouldn’t want to race in the Baja 1000? I look forward to being a participant in this year’s event racing for Western Motorsports.”

The Western Motorsports team has already begun planning for the enormously large logistical challenges of such a long event in a foreign land. Leading up to the race the three drivers and their navigators will conduct a series of test days and pre-running events. In between his role as President of Pick-n-Pull Self Service Auto and Truck Dismantler’s Klauer will fit in the test days in addition to his debut in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race on July 18th at the Portland International Raceway. He will be piloting the #25 Schnitzer Steel Industries (Cascade Steel Rolling Mills & Pick-n-Pull) car.

“We are excited to be racing again this year in the Baja 1000. It’s the ultimate challenge of man and machine. There simply is not another off-road event that has the prestige and mystic of the Baja 1000,” said Backus. “Dave [Mason] and I aren’t getting any younger and we thought it would be good to add another driver. But he’d need to be a fit for our team, not just competitively, but would need to fit our culture and our group. Tom [Klauer] was like one of the team from our first meeting and we knew right away he would be a great addition. We are really looking forward to having a fun and competitive event.”
