2011 SCORE Desert Series Point titles on line in 36 Pro,
Six Sportsman classes at 44th Tecate SCORE Baja 1000

Pre-race festivities start Wednesday for over 275 entries from 34 States, 16 countries;
Live internet coverage at DIRTnewz.com- The Latest News From the Worlds of Desert Racing, Short Course Off Road and Rock Crawling. Plus Live Race Coverage!, IRC - International Racing Consultants and Off-Road Racing News » race-deZert.com
for 692.82-mile loop race that starts, finishes in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico

ENSENADA, Mexico—Colorful pre-race festivities begin Wednesday for the 44th anniversary celebration of the legendary Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, but when the green flag drops on Friday morning in Ensenada, Baja California, the race will be as intense as it gets with the 2011 SCORE Desert Series season point championships on the line.
The granddaddy of all desert races, which is the season-finale of the world’s foremost desert racing series which is completing its 38th year in 2011, will be a loop race held on the northern part of Mexico’s magnificently mysterious Baja California peninsula through Saturday starting and finishing in Ensenada, 65 miles South of the U.S. border at San Diego adjacent to the Pacific Ocean.
With over 275 entries expected to compete in 36 Pro and 6 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs, entries have come from 34 U.S. states and 16 countries. Among the entries are 27 Pro class winners from last year’s race as late entries will be accepted up until race morning.
This is the 44th anniversary of the race shrouded in mystery that continues to lure adventurers and manufacturers from across the globe who all share the dream to conquer the Baja.
It’s the oldest and most well known of all desert races, and it remains as the single most appealing accomplishment to a racer. Since 1967, the race has been run over the mysterious Baja California peninsula every year except 1974 when the international fuel crisis forced a cancellation.
The motorcycle and ATV classes will start their journey at 6:30 a.m. on Friday with the car and truck classes starting at approximately 11:30 a.m., or four hours after the last Sportsman ATV leaves the line. Vehicles will start in 30-second intervals in the elapsed-time race and all vehicles will have a 32-hour time limit to become official finishers. The fastest vehicles are expected to complete the course in approximately 14 hours.
This year’s race will start for the 37th time and finish for the 21st time in Ensenada. The race will start and finish 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.
With late entries accepted up until race morning, the 692.82-mile race course this year is a combination of much of the 2008 and the 2009 courses.
In addition to the 34 U.S. States represented on the entry list to date, racers have also officially entered from Australia, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Mexico, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico and the US Territory of Guam.
While all the rugged regulars in desert racing are in Mexico, the lure of this amazing race also attracts crossover racers as well as adventurers from all walks of life.
The talented field of desert racing veterans includes 107 racers who have combined for 346 class wins in this race. In that group are 18 racers who have combined for a total of 39 overall victories in either the 4-wheel or 2-wheel category. Included in the past overall winner’s group are the last seven 4-wheel winners and the last 14 consecutive motorcycle overall champions.
Pre-race festivities on Thursday, including the vastly popular tech and contingency of all vehicles and the SCORE Manufacturer’s Midway will be held from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Boulevard Costero in front of the Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center. The pre-race mandatory driver/rider briefing will be held Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Cathedral Room at the Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center. Racer and media registration will both be held at the San Nicolas Resort Hotel in Ensenada on Wednesday, Nov. 16 and Thursday, Nov. 17.
The post-race awards celebration will be held poolside at the San Nicolas Resort Hotel at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
Reality TV star Jesse James has received the first starting position in the drawing earlier this month for 44th running of the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. While James, who lives in Austin, Texas, will pilot his No. 54 Chevy Silverado SCORE Trophy Truck, starting first among the motorcycle and ATV classes will be Craig Bowman on a Honda CRF450X.
Drawing the first start among the ATV classes was the Class 25 team led by Richard Stanley.
The featured SCORE Trophy Truck division for high-tech, 850-horsepower unlimited production trucks has 33 vehicles enters to date.
Starting second will be Mexico’s son/father team of Gus Vildosola Jr./Gus Vildosola, who teamed last year to become the first Mexican national team to win the overall 4-wheel title of the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. Driving the No. 21 Vildosola Racing Ford F-150 SCORE Trophy Truck, the Vildosolas, of Mexicali, were also the fastest vehicle overall in the race down the Baja California peninsula to La Paz.
Starting second among the motorcycles will be last year’s overall motorcycle winners in this race, Kendall Norman, Santa Barbara, Calif./Quinn Cody, Buellton, Calif. on the No. 1x JCR Honda Racing Honda CRF450X.
While entries will be accepted will be accepted up to race morning, late entries will be assigned the next available number and starting position within each class.
Besides SCORE Trophy Truck with 33, the car and truck classes with the most entries to date are unlimited Class 1 (24), Class 1/2-1600 (18), Class 6 and Class 10 (11 each) and SCORE Lites (10.
Among the motorcycle and ATV classes, Class 22 for open motorcycles has the most entries so far with 12.
Leading the six Sportsman classes in the race is Sportsman Motorcycle over 450cc which has 20 entries so far, Sportsman Motorcycle under 450cc with 13 and Sportsman ATV with 10.
Among the many other talented entries from all over the world is the venerable Rod Hall, Reno, Nev., who is only individual who has raced in all 43 previous Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 races.
The legendary Hall, who will turn 74 on Nov. 22, has a race-record 21 career class wins in this event and is the only driver to have competed every year (all in a car or truck class). Hall will be looking for as many as three class wins this year. He is entered as the second driver for his sons Chad and Josh Hall in SCORE Trophy Truck and in both the and Stock Full (Sam Edgar) classes.
Together, the Hall family has combined for a SCORE record 33 class wins in this race with Chad having eight and Josh four.
Larry Roeseler, Boulevard, Calif., has won 17 times in this race, including 13 overall wins (10 on a motorcycle). Roeseler will share driving duties this year in SCORE Trophy Truck with Tim Herbst in the No. 19 Terrible Herbst Motorsports Ford F-150. Roeseler won the unlimited Class 1 for four consecutive years (2004-2007), driving with the youngest of the three racing brothers, Troy Herbst, in the Smithbuilt-Ford open-wheel desert race car that was known as the ‘Land Shark’. Roeseler is the only racer in the history of the event to win the overall 4-wheel in a truck and also in a car as well as the overall 2-wheel title as well.
Winning two of the first four series races overall and in the featured SCORE Trophy Truck division, Las Vegas rookie driver Bryce Menzies continues to stand at the top of the point leader board after four of five races in the 2011 SCORE Desert Series.
Menzies, who opened the season by winning the SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge in January, drove to a penalty-free victory as well in June’s 43rd Tecate SCORE Baja 500 to pull further ahead in the SCORE Overall and SCORE Trophy Truck point standings in the No. 70 Menzies Motorsports Ford F-150. Sandwiched between his first two career SCORE race wins in the marquee desert racing division, Menzies finished sixth in SCORE Trophy Truck at the 25th MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 in March. In September Menzies finished third at Tecate SCORE San Felipe Challenge of Champions and now has a six-point margin over the rest of the world’s best desert racers.
SCORE points are based on starting, finishing, placement and number of official starters within each class. Menzies, 23, who had only raced the 2010 SCORE Baja 500 where he finished seventh in his first start in SCORE Trophy Truck, has 306 championship points following Round 4 of the five-race 2011 SCORE Desert Series. SCORE Trophy Truck has had the largest starting field for all four races with 32 in Laughlin, 24 in San Felipe, 28 in Ensenada and 13 in the September San Felipe race.
Picking up his ninth career SCORE Trophy Truck race win in September in San Felipe, Las Vegas’ Rob MacCachren, an eight-time SCORE season point champion, is second in overall and in SCORE Trophy Truck points so far in 2011 after finishing fourth in Laughlin, winning the MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe race in March and finishing ninth in Ensenada with 300 points, just six behind Menzies.
With two wins and a second and a seventh this year, third in overall points and leading the unlimited class 1 is Justin Davis, 18 of Chino Hills, Calif., 11 points behind Menzies with 295. Davis, last year’s SCORE Lites point champion, won Class 1 in Laughlin and San Felipe and was a close second in Ensenada and seventh in the September San Felipe race driving the Green Army Motorsports Chevy-powered ESM open-wheel desert race car.
Following consistent seventh, fifth, fourth and second-place finishes in the season’s first four events, Gary Weyhrich, Troutdale, Ore., is fourth in overall points and third in SCORE Trophy Truck with 281 in the No. 98 TSCO Motorsports Ford F-150.
With numerous co-drivers to assist, the RPM Off-Road Team of Bristol, Va., has an event record seven total vehicles entered in this race. Clyde Stacy will be driver of record in SCORE Trophy Truck, Class 4 and Class 17, Justin Matney is driver of record in Class 8, Class 11 and Stock Mini and John Matney (Justin’s father) is entered in Sportsman Buggy. Leading the points in Class 8, Class 11, Class 4, Class 17 and Stock Mini, the RPM Off-Road Team has picked up 10 class wins this season and is on the verge of establishing a unprecedented season results in the SCORE Desert Series.
ATV racing star Greg Row, 48, will be racing in his 25th consecutive Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 on an ATV. To commemorate the occasion, Row will be the last Sportsman ATV to leave the starting line (No. 99a) and he will be riding solo, hoping to earn a prestigious Sal Fish SCORE IronRider award. Row has earned nine podium finishes with four class wins in this race so far, including winning the overall ATV title of the once-in-a-lifetime SCORE Baja 2000 that commemorated the start of the new millennium.
The rugged course travels from Ensenada east through Ojos Negros, down Laguna Salada to San Felipe, down through the three legendary Baja canyon washes of Matomi, Huatomote and Chanate, joining familiar routes to the six-mile turnoff before Mike’s Sky Rancho, heading over to the Pacific Coast crossing Highway 1 near San Vicente and to Erendira, then through Santo Tomas, Uruapan and back to Ojos Negros, covering much of the northern half of the majestic Baja California peninsula to and from Ensenada. Except for the San Felipe loop, the course travels in a clockwise direction. The San Felipe loop will be run counter clockwise.
The race course features six physical checkpoints along with 64 virtual checkpoints.
At the physical checkpoints vehicle numbers and passing times are recorded to help verify the information gathered on the electronic recording devices that are mounted on all vehicles in the race.

Ten of 17 previous season point champions are entered and 59 of 97 SCORE Trophy Truck race winners are represented as well along with the last six of the previous17 SCORE Trophy Truck winners in the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. The all-time leaders in SCORE Trophy Truck race wins are Las Vegas brothers Tim Herbst and Ed Herbst in the No. 19 Ford F-150, with 11. Returning as defending SCORE Trophy Truck and Overall race champions are Mexico’s son/father team of Gus Vildosola Jr/Gus Vildosola Sr, in the No. 21 Ford F-150.
The points race is extremely close with the top five separated by just 50 points. A pair of Las Vegas racers are leading the field, Bryce Menzies in the No. 70 Ford F-150 and Rob MacCachren in the No. 20 Ford F-150 as each driver has won two races this season. Menzies has a six point lead over MacCachren heading into the season-finale. MacCachren and NASCAR team owner/driver Robby Gordon (No. 77 Chevy CK1500) each have nine career SCORE Trophy Truck race wins, second most in the history of the class.
TIGHT POINTS—SEVERAL CLASSES:

Post-race quotes

PRO CARS & TRUCKS
SCORE TROPHY TRUCK
ANDY MCMILLIN, No. 31 (First in class and first overall four-wheel vehicle. Andy started and drove to Race Mile 200, Scott McMillin drove from RM 200 to RM 511 and Andy drove from RM 511 to the finish.) – We started 10th. At the Baja 500, Bryce (Menzies) started in front of me and put a spanking on me so I didn't want to let that happen in this race. I got a pretty quick pace off the starts and splashed fuel at mile 77 and by the time we got to the summit, I nerfed Larry Roeseler, got around Rob MacCachren, passed Curt LeDuc, Jesse Ashcraft. MacCachren got me back later in the summit and we were battling back and forth off his bumper until he pitted for fuel. Menzies was out front and I got by Kory Scheeler on the silt bed and I just started putting my pedal forward. I knew we were going to change drivers at Borrego and put my dad in so I wanted to get a couple of minutes on everyone just in case. Unfortunately, we had a three-and-a-half minute pit stop and we took off out of there in third and my dad had a flat tire. My dad did a great job on the San Felipe loop. We kept our pace and kept our position and Bryce was doing work out front and was running away with it. Luckily he had a little issue and we were able to make up time. I got back in the truck and Bryce pulled over for fuel and we got around them. That was the most intense race I've ever been a part of. I was 30 seconds to them and Bryce was 30 seconds to me on the beach. It was a freight-train free-for-all. It was such a blast. It was so much fun. I'm glad to win my second Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 with my dad. It means a lot.
CO-DRIVER SCOTT McMILLIN said: He (Andy McMillin) gave me the roughest part to drive; it kicked my butt. It's amazing that after almost 700 miles we are sitting here with three teams and any one of us could have won. My hat is off to them. They did a great job and made us a better competitor. Sal (Fish), you just keeping making this race tougher and harder and I was just squinching all the way around that 250 miles. For our family, this has been a tradition. This is the 35th year our family has been racing this. My brother's coming in, I've got my daughter out there and Mark's other son and my dad is looking down on us and taking care of us.
NICK VANDERWEY, No. 84 (Second in class and second overall four-wheel vehicle. Vanderwey shared driving duties with Curt LeDuc.) – What a race – holy moly. We started sixth and Curt (LeDuc) set an easy pace, wanted to take it easy and got over the summit and then he threw on the boosters and took off. I'm still catching my breath. This was something else. Thank goodness we got some fog in San Matias and at the Mike's turnoff, we practically had all of our lights off and saw McMillin's yellow light and made a beeline for it and by a miracle we got by him. It was all I could do to keep him behind me the rest of the way. It was ‘be careful what you wish for’ next time. It was intense racing. We hit so many rocks it was just unbelievable what these tires will take. This win goes to my brother John, the crew chief, the only one that doesn't get in the truck, but he put a great pitting plan together and that's what got us in front.
CO-DRIVER CURT LeDUC said: It started off muddy. These guys charged and everybody ran great up front. It was really a lot of fun to be part of this team and help these guys come from Class 8 all the way up to SCORE Trophy Truck and become a contender here.
BRYCE MENZIES, No. 70 (Third in class and third overall four-wheel vehicle. Menzies drove until mile 540 and Ricky Johnson drove from RM 540 to the finish.) – Everybody kept asking me if we were going to take it easy and go for the championship. Our game plan this whole year was if you win races, you come away with a championship. We started fourth and I just didn't feel it off the start so I was kind of cruising and we got to Borrego and one of our chase crews said Andy (McMillin) was six seconds behind us. He came up and was hitting me so we moved out of the way and let him go. I think we passed him back when they were changing drivers. We led from there on and at our fuel stop our jack broke and the tire didn't go on all the way and we lost some lug nuts. It was an awesome day. San Felipe was rough like no other. I was getting beaten up so badly it was horrible – that's why it is off-road racing. I want to thank Sal Fish for putting on these great races. I did 450 miles and didn't get a single flat and the tires looked brand new when I took them off. My hat's off to my whole crew and co-driver Pete Mortensen. To get a championship for him and I is just huge. To come away with that number-one plate for next year would be awesome and we'll come back and try and get that victory for the 1000. I've got to give it up to Andy and his dad for winning. That's a huge accomplishment and it's one of my dreams and goals. To see them up there doing that just drives me harder to bring it back next year.
CO-DRIVER RICKY JOHNSON said: Steve Menzies came to me earlier this year and said I have a goal for my son and that's to win the SCORE championship. I really didn't do anything but drive around following these guys (Andy McMillin) and I want to congratulate the McMillin family. It was awesome to be involved in that kind of race and it just says a lot for the guys who put together trucks like that. It is an honor to be back here.
MARK McMILLIN, No. 23 (Fourth in class and fourth overall four-wheel vehicle. Mark McMillin drove to mile 200, Daniel McMillin drove the San Felipe Loop and Hovey drove the final 260 miles to the finish.) – Co-driver Chuck Hovey said: What a great day for McMillin Racing. We had a great day. We had some motor issues with a lot of sputtering in San Felipe. It would clear up and we couldn't really figure out what it was and then I had alternators going bad so we ran four lights for the last 150 miles. It was a great day and we’re happy to be here.
CO-DRIVER DANIEL MCMILLIN said: Driving the SCORE Trophy Truck is a lot different than driving the Class 1. It was up the middle of the track instead of looking for lines like a buggy. The truck just goes through the holes bigger and better. This whole course is huge holes so with the truck, there is no comparison.
CLYDE STACY, No. 18 (Fifth in class and fifth overall four-wheel vehicle. Stacy drove the San Felipe loop and a section to the finish. Juan Carlos Lopez drove the rest of the race.) – We were having a good time with it. We didn't have any real problems and it was a good race overall.
JESSE JAMES, No. 54 (Sixth in class and seventh overall four-wheel vehicle. Jeff Geiser drove the San Felipe loop and James drove the remainder of the race.) – I proved I could run up front. It was a great day. It was an epic day with Tavo (Vildosola). We were back and forth in each other's dust, trading places three times. It was fun just being able to hang with him because he is so fast. We had a couple of little mistakes. We blew some turns and gave up a position. We had a couple of flats but other than that, this thing ran great until I rolled it about one mile from the finish. We hit mud and it was just like ice and spun it around and I tried to avoid hitting a tree and put it on the side. The truck was too pretty looking anyway. This truck does stuff that I'm amazed by. It thunders through and is a pleasure to drive. I've had a top 10 in every race I've run this year.
KEN LOSCH, No. 10 (Seventh in class and ninth overall four-wheel vehicle. Losch drove the start to Borrego and Tom Oliveria drove the San Felipe loop.) When you get this thing up to 70 or 80 miles per hour, you are piloting it and not driving it. Losing our reverse gear was a big problem. If we came into a corner and overshot it, we couldn't back up. We had to make sure we didn't overshoot one of those thousands and thousands of corners. We never got a flat. It wasn't a bad run considering we had no reverse and with a new driving style. When you’re pre-running, you see stuff but when you're (racing), you just give it the throttle and there's a thousand whoops and you just nail it, hold it and you're on top of it and across it like a magic carpet ride. I was, quite frankly, pinching myself. It's a great experience.
ROBBY GORDON, No. 77 (Eighth in class and 10th overall four-wheel vehicle.) We missed a turn at the 390-mile mark. We missed a turn on a fast graded road and it spiraled and we crashed it. We were running 130 before that so we probably hit the ground at 100 and it was a big one. I haven't crashed that hard in a long time. Literally two miles from the finish line, the drive shaft broke but I'm sure it broke because of the crash. The back of the truck moved over about three inches because of the crash so the drive shaft probably got jarred pretty hard.
TROY HERBST, No. 49 (Ninth in class. Troy Herbst drove to Ojos Negros and handed it over to Tim Herbst, who drove to Borrego. Arciero drove from Borrego to the finish) – Co-driver Ryan Arciero said: This team never gives up and that's why I love being a part of this program. You never know what is going to happen until you get to the finish line. Anything can happen and this course was so rough. This truck is a throwback to the Truggy because they wanted to commemorate The Shark and all the wins they had in the Truggy. I think we nailed it with the paint scheme. Our goal was to get it up front and get it here first but after the day we had today, we were just happy to get it to the finish line.
CLASS 1
JUSTIN DAVIS, No. 149 (First in class and sixth overall four-wheel vehicle.) – There was lots of water and mud and the car doesn't run when it gets wet. It runs on six cylinders. We steadily moved up as everybody started to break off and then it seemed to work out at the end. We knew we had to finish (to win the championship) but at end when we knew we could win, we went for it. We just took the risk and it turned out well. We won the championship and won the biggest race of the year. It was definitely a challenge and I'm looking forward to doing it next year. Maybe we'll go three in a row.
RONNY WILSON, No. 111 (Second in class and eighth overall four-wheel vehicle.) – We led it early and then we had a flat and throttle issues. We were down in Borrego for 20 minutes which kind of killed us. We chased Justin (Davis) all day. I think this is the seventh podium finish at the 1000 but we've never won it. I don't know what it is going to take to win one of these. We'll keep trying.
BRIAN PARKHOUSE, No. 114 (Third in class. Parkhouse started and drove to Race Mile 330 and Cody Parkhouse drove from RM 330 to the finish.) – I had one flat and it was a pretty clean run. We passed probably a half-dozen cars or more than that. At some point in time we paced it and then cracked a transaxle and started leaking oil. We stopped every 70 miles or so and put oil in it. The course wasn't anything I didn't expect. The San Felipe loop is really beat and I was happy to get out of it. The car worked really well and felt really good but the course was rough. We are pretty happy with a nice strong finish.
CO-DRIVER CODY PARKHOUSE said: We broke a transaxle and had to put gear oil in every 50 miles. We lost a ton of time. There's a lot of mud left over from the rain last weekend.
MARK HUTCHINS, No. 116 (Fourth in class. Mark Hutchins started and Christopher got in at mile 320) – Co-driver Christopher Hutchins said: Gnarly. The roughest 1000 I've seen by far. We lost a power steering pump and my dad had to do the last 60 miles of his section with no power steering. That put us down. It was the only problem we had. I'm looking forward to the peninsula run, that's for sure.
DAMEN JEFFERIES, No. 105 (Fifth in class.) – We lost our brakes and I tried to slow down, hit a rock and exploded a wheel. We had one caliper and we fixed it so we had one rear brake. We stopped at mile 458 and put the other one on. That was really it for down time but it was a killer. With one brake you've got to slow way down and you slide everywhere.
CLASS 1/2-1600
LUKE MCMILLIN, No. 1600 (First in class. Justin Smith drove the first 400 miles and McMillin drove the final 305 miles.) – No problems all day except for the oil cooler, which cost us about 20 minutes. It was just a great day. We started so much later than we thought but we are here first and that's all that matters.
CO-DRIVER JUSTIN SMITH said: A rock took out our oil cooler. We had some minor issues and about 20 minutes of down-time. Luke (McMillin) milked it and I milked it a little farther and we ended up changing out the oil cooler. We lost rear brakes early – around mile 300. We tried to bleed them but they never came back.
DANIEL LOPEZ, No. 1646 (Second in class. Lopez started and drove to Borrego, Adolfo Arambula drove to San Felipe and Ambrosio Gutierrez took it to the end) – Co-driver Ambrosio Gutierrez said: It was pretty rough. My neck is sore but it was fun and we had good weather. We had some problems with the car. We lost power and lost our brakes and the suspension got very soft so we were going all over the place. We didn't stop because we thought we would lose a lot of time.
ELISEO GARCIA, No. 1644 (Third in class. Garcia shared driving duties with Hector Sarabia.) Co-driver Hector Sarabia said: We had electrical problems. The car stopped twice and we lost 30 minutes. We didn't have any flat tires.
ARTURO VELAZCO, No. 1601 (Fourth in class. Velazco and Esteban Cruz split the driving.) – Co-driver Esteban Cruz said: It was a rough course. We had a couple of flats early on in the race and we were back in 10th place and we started picking up positions in the San Felipe loop. We were doing well near the end trying to catch up and we had our fuel pump base break. It was shorting out and the car was stalling. We thought it was a filter and then we thought it was a bunch of other things. We had to go through everything until we found the base was broken and we safety wired it to the chassis. It was a really beautiful course as always. It is always challenging and I'm just glad we are here at the finish line.
CLASS 3
DONALD MOSS, No. 300 (First in class.) We had the steering linkage come loose and we stuffed it into a mound there and ruined a tire and lost the rear brakes, broke the leaf springs in the back. We had to take the calipers completely off to finish so we only had front brakes. This one was by far the toughest one that I've ever done. The summit was not as bad as some of that stuff coming into Borrego. There were cars stuck everywhere. Everything is just whooped out everywhere. Even the sandy washes that were fun and fast are whooped out now. We were in first gear in four-wheel drive in some of those and pulling hard.
CLASS 5
JIM ANDERSON, No. 518 (First in class. Anderson started and drover to Borrego. Rick Boyer drove the San Felipe loop and Mike Belk drove to the finish.) – We had one flat. We actually had a stick go through the tire and it is still holding air; it is sticking out of the sidewall. We had a big lead of almost 25 miles for the whole race so we just cruised it in.
CLASS 5-1600
JEFFREY SMITH, No. 551 (First in class. Smith shared driving duties with Justin Herrmann.) – It was a great race – other than I left the (starting) line and I got stuck in a mud puddle. Two miles into the race and it was a dead stop. We had a whole bunch of people jump in there, knee-deep in mud, and push the car back. We also got stuck in the silt beds probably three times; they just come up on you in the middle of the night. We had a good time.
CO-DRIVER JUSTIN HERRMANN said: It went really well. This is our first time ever racing a vehicle down here. The last five years, we’ve raced motorcycles. Last year, I won the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 on a motorcycle. This will be my second win, just in a different class. The only reason we’re racing (the car) is my wife is pregnant and she can’t race it so we stole it to race. We figured we might have a shot at winning so we stole her car.
CLASS 6
JOSH QUINTERO, No. 617 (First in class. Quintero started, Chris Taylor drove the San Felipe loop and Quintero drove to the finish.) – We broke a driveline right after check two and four where it heads to San Felipe. We lost about 15 minutes. We got stuck once but got ourselves out using the back-and-forth routine a thousand times. The course was brutal.
DAVE CASPINO, No. 600 (Second in class. Caspino drove the first half and Jason Ruane the other half) – We got a flat at mile 10, got stuck in the silt for 32 minutes, ran out of gas and that was 40 minutes. Jason (Ruane) drove the truck off Walker's corner 70 feet down to the bottom. That took two hours to get out so we had three hours of downtime but still got second. I can't blame anybody but myself and my co-driver for stupid mistakes. We broke two rims but we didn't have any flat tires. Last year I won every single race but they say when you win Driver of the Year, you are followed by a curse for the whole next year. Everybody who has ever won it has this curse and they just can't shake it. Knock on wood this is my last race of the year and I hope it is gone.
GAVIN SKILTON, No. 601 (Third in class. Skilton shared driving duties with Darren Skilton.) You gotta do what you gotta do to get to the finish line at the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. We had our issues but we overcame them. I got stuck in the silt and all the body tabs broke off so we had to take the body off and do a little bit of welding work. We just ran her into the ground. That was a crazy race for sure.
CLASS 7
DAN CHAMLEE, No. 700 (First in class.) We did all the silt beds and hill climbs and never got stuck but we did have a third member break and cooling fan failure. It was a completely different brand and style of fan and it turned out to be defective. We took a spare with us, kept going and the new one was fine. We just couldn't believe it (after having several fan failures in past races.) I get within 100 miles and I think we are home free and something breaks. The broken third member took about an hour and a half to repair.
CLASS 8
KENT KROEKER, No. 801 (First in class. Kroeker drove the San Felipe loop and Alan Roach drove the remainder of the race.) – Co-driver Alan Roach said: It was really fun – rough, but it was a blast. We started to consume water out of the radiator but we topped it off in Ojos Negros and we were good to go. We had a little nerfing contest going on with Justin Matney for a while and it was close. I think they also had a radiator problem and lost some time. Our engine got wet in the water crossings and isn't running very well
CLASS 10
CHRISTIAN HALL, No. 1008 (First in class. Jerry Penhall drove the first third, Mark Talla drove the San Felipe loop and Hall drove it to the finish) – We had an amazing night. We had one flat coming off the summit but other than that, we just drove her. We never slowed down to look behind us. In remembrance of my father Hank Hall, we spread his ashes across the course. I wouldn't be able to drive if he was around because he would kick me out of the seat.
EDUARDO MEJIA, No. 1010 (Second in class. Jeff Johnson, John McInnis III, Rick Skelton, Jessi Combs and Patrick McIntyre also drove.) – We were pretty stacked with six drivers and we wanted to make sure that we had everybody in the best position they could be. We had a few issues during the race. We blew a CV gasket on the back of the car and it spews a lot of transmission fluid. We thought we had a tire going down and stopped in another pit to change the tire only to discover that we were leaking power steering fluid. We refilled it and the next crew of drivers ran into the same issue. It was a great day.
JOHN LANGLEY, No. 1002 (Third in class.) Co-driver Morgan Langley said: We were a little impatient coming in and it was messy. It was a tough race and we had fun. We had no rear brakes so we couldn't go as fast as maybe we wanted to. Halfway through our run, the shocks were pretty much cooked. Other than that, we took it easy and had fun.
SCORE LITES
LEE BANNING, No. 1248 (First in class. Lee Banning Sr. started and drove to Race Mile 195. Rick Graf took over and drove to RM 495 and Lee Banning Jr. finished) – Co-driver Lee Banning Jr. said: That was a marathon. My section was fun and I think everybody had a good time. No issues and I think we had one flat all day and did the tire change when I got in. We started late and we planned 15 hours. We had a clean run and we started almost last so as long as the IRC tracking checks out we should be winner, winner, chicken dinner. When they gave me the car it was out front and I kept it there. Rick got the lead and I held it there. It was a good day.
ZAK LANGLEY, No. 1204 (Second in class. Langley shared driving duties with Bernie Carr.) – I'm pretty happy with a second place considering the problems we had out there. We had a pretty good run and I handed the car over to Paul Keller and he lost power steering. He did the whole San Felipe loop with no power steering. We got it back to Borrego, changed the power steering pump, changed the servo and changed the ramp and still nothing so it must be something in the line. Bernie Carr just had to get in and drive with no power steering too. To get second with no power steering for two-thirds of the race, I think we are pretty happy. It was rough out there. We've run some of that same grain a lot but because of the rain a lot of the soft stuff after the big unlimited classes went through it just got deep and nasty. It was a great course though.
STEVEN LISA, No. 1201 (Third in class. Steven Lisa and Davy Jones drove the first half and Anthony Lisa drove the second half.) – Co-driver Anthony Lisa said: Aside from jetting issues and the fact that San Felipe was so rough, we broke a rear spring, it was about as drama free as the Baja 1000 can be.
PROTRUCK
JESSICA MCMILLIN, No. 1331 (First in class.) It was a really long day – a long two days, but it was so much fun. I'm so glad to be at the finish line. For a second there, I didn't think we were going to make it all the way here but here we are. We were going pretty fast in third gear and came over a rise and there was a water hole we didn't have marked on the GPS so I tried to avoid it and there was a tree. I wasn't going to make it around the tree in time so I punched it and straightened myself out before the water. I hit the water and just my side was dipped in the water at first and we were going along it pretty good until we started hydroplaning. We broke something in the rear about 30 miles after we rolled it over. I'm always learning from my brother and my dad. I love racing with my family.
CLASS 4
TONY MIGLINI, No. 402 (First in class. Miglini drove approx 200 miles, then Mike Shatynski drove the San Felipe loop and Jason Hart drove to the finish.) – It was brutal out there. Our whole goal was to finish and we kept having to change our strategy throughout the whole race as different things happened. The other two guys were way faster than us and we just stayed our course and as they started having problems we just started pushing it and going faster. We set a solid pace and maintained our lead for the last 100 miles. We couldn't be happier. It's just insane out there. We got the lead close to Borrego. It got a little dicey at the end but it was good. We had a power steering problem early when we wore a hole in a hose and had to make a field repair that took us a little bit. The car ran great and we finally got it dialed in. Tough race, tons of fun and it was our first 1000 and our first win of the year.

PRO MOTORCYCLES
CLASS 22
KENDALL NORMAN, No. 1x (First in class and first overall motorcycle. Norman rode the first 207 miles. Quinn Cody rode 200 miles. Logan Holladay rode 120 miles. Kendall Norman rode the last 160 miles to the finish.) – It was a rough morning for me. I crashed the bike about 20 miles in but everything was alright and I started finding my rhythm, got down the road and I was really excited to get through Borrego and the road crossing. My first stint was almost over and I hit the biggest mound ever and just sent it at 70 miles per hour and took the biggest digger. I don't know how I popped up so quickly but everything seemed okay though I was pretty banged up. I kept the bike going, got it to the pit and had to do a few repairs on it. Quinn (Cody) pinned it hard and did a really good job and so did Logan (Holladay.) I got back on in the meadow in Valle de Trinidad and took her home at night. It was a really tough day. Baja had its moments with me today. It didn't make it easy. We had a challenger on the Kawasaki with my former teammate Robby Bell. They were there all day. They fought hard and kept us honest. It's going to be tough in the years to come in Baja. It sounds like there's going to be a lot more competition and it's going to elevate the sport and what we have to do to come down here and be successful. It's good for the sport, good for Baja and exciting for all the fans too.
CO-RIDER QUINN CODY said: It went well. I had most of the San Felipe loop and all the sand washes. I got on at just north of Borrego at mile 207 and then rode back into San Felipe and it was just really rough down there. It was probably the roughest 200 miles I've ever ridden in my life. It's a lot of big sand washes, cross-grain whoops and a lot of just squareage whoops from all the pre-runners. There have been two races down there already this year and this is third one. My section was the roughest 1000 I've ridden. Kendall had a crash right past Borrego and bent the bars pretty good and bent up a radiator and blew out the steering dampener but other than that I got the bike and we fixed it a little bit. The bars were good enough to run and so I just ran the bars and Logan got on in San Felipe and did a great job in his section and brought it back to Kendall for the last part. It's pretty cool, we definitely have to try and keep it up. It's 15 straight now for Honda so it is pretty exciting. Kendall (Norman) brought me the bike and it was bent to hell and so it took some of the pressure off me because I didn't have to worry about hurting the bike. I got going and got used to the new handlebar bend we were running. I rode just north of Borrego all the way through San Felipe through all the sand washes and back into San Felipe and that section is just beat. It's probably the roughest 200 miles I've ever ridden in my life. It is so rough from all the pre-runners and races they've had down here the last few years. I just put everything I had out there and brought the bike back in and gave it to Logan (Holladay.) He got on, did an amazing job and here we are.
CO-RIDER LOGAN HOLLADAY said: I rode from mile 396 to Valley de Trinidad. I had no problems at all. Kendall (Norman) went down in Borrego and bent the handlebars a bit. So it was a little tougher to ride the bike at times. The levers were bent a bit too. It felt a little funny. Quinn (Cody) gave me the bike beat up from his 200 mile section and the suspension was all blown out and soft. I started my section and did about 10 miles of fire roads and went head on with a couple Federale trucks at 100 miles an hour and passed them on their side. I got through that and just started pounding whoops all the way through San Felipe and got some really bad arm-pump because I had no time to warm them up before San Felipe. I just got straight into the whoops. I made it through that section – hit everything I was looking for. Never went down once, never missed a shift, made it through all the hoops, made it to Mike's and killed it through the fire roads until I gave it back to Kendall. It was a flawless section, but a painful one too. But overall, it was good ride and a great race. I lost the GPS on the bike, but my dad tracked me and that helped. He (Kendall Norman) brought it in for the win and I thought it was an amazing day in Baja. The Baja 1000, first overall and my first time.
JCR HONDA TEAM OWNER JOHNNY CAMPBELL (No. 1x) said: It was a long day. It was really rough and I was happy to be in the air and not on the ground or riding the bike because it was really rough. All the guys did a really good job and it was a tough race. It was very, very rough. We split it up pretty good between three guys and it has been a long day for these guys. He (Kendall Norman) crossed the road at Borrego and he got on an awkward line, then he spun out in a doughnut and laid it down. It wasn't like a horrendous crash but it was uncharacteristic of him. The pit crews changed a few things at the next pit and the bike was fine. It's not over until it's over but for the last 14 years it's been really good. I've been stoked because I've been on a lot of the winning teams as a rider but now as a team manager and owner I've gotten to be on that part of it too. This championship is for Ox (the late Jeff Kargola), as Colton (Udall) said. We really miss him.
SHANE ESPOSITO, No. 11x (Second in class and second overall motorcycle. Esposito shared riding duties with Robby Bell, Bobby Garrison, David Pearson and Steve Hengeveld.) – We wanted to win but we had some problems with the lights but we did what we could to get to the finish with them.
CO-RIDER ROBBY BELL said: I wasn't nervous and the weather was really nice so I knew there wouldn't be much dust. I had a good clean run off the start. I got by a few guys pretty quickly and the two Hondas and us were going pretty fast all day. We were so close to the 1x bike all day – all the way until nightfall – and then we just had a little issue. That's all it takes in Baja.
COLTON UDALL, No. 0x (Third in class and third overall motorcycle. Udall rode the start to mile 92. David Kamo rode to mile 215. Udall rode to 329. Timmy Weigand rode to the finish) – We didn’t really have any problems today. We just rode steady and had a great race. I had my smarter, more mature teammate Timmy (Weigand) telling me to slow down and ride consistent. Hopefully the points fall as we think and we collect the championship trophy in a few days. And rest is history. This race was for Ox today. We have all of Ox’s friends here and it is a tribute to him. Ox helped us win this championship this year. We talked about our approach a lot during pre-running. I broke my hand two weeks ago so I didn't get to do the number of miles I wanted to do. There was a championship on my shoulders and all I could do was mess that up so riding a smooth and perfect race was what we were going to do. If the championship is there, why push it? I want to thank Timmy, David (Kamo), our sponsors, everyone at JCR and my family. Dave was quite a workhorse for us today. He rode in some tough spots today but the bike never touched the ground. It is still in great shape for the next race.
CO-RIDER TIMMY WEIGAND said: I was just riding and having a blast. I guess I am a night guy now, so they wanted me to ride with the lights. To touch on Ox, he was out there with us all day long. Our hats are off to him. Colton Udall gave the bike to me to bring it to the finish. I wanted to get it here for him and the championship.
CLASS 21
TREVOR INSLEY, No. 105x (First in class and fourth overall motorcycle. Insley shared riding duties with Ryan Kudla, Morgan Crawford, Bill Gilbert, Matt Carlson and Dennis Green.) – Keeping fresh guys on the bike is a strategy that has worked all year. We've got a good quality group. Everybody did their part. We knew we had to beat the 104x bike (Adam Neuwirth) and we also knew that it was a long race. We knew that our bike was built right and we knew we had a good strategy keeping fresh guys on the bike. They had fewer riders and were doing more mileage. We knew we were going to have the advantage from that standpoint. Our motto is we'll worry about us and do what we do and see how it turns out.
CO-RIDER RYAN KUDLA said: We were just having a blast out there. We were really cooking. We were already the fifth or sixth bike by the time we got to mile 91 and unfortunately for them (the 104x) they had problems. We just kept going at a nice steady pace. We got lucky that we didn't have any sun this morning because it was foggy. The wash was really wet and you had to just pick your line through it. I guess he (Neuwirth) went down in the wash and we were pretty much nose to tail all the way through the start. Morgan Crawford said we are going to celebrate tonight. Everybody came through and we rocked it. Some of the course reminded me of the Lucerne Valley. I thought I was back at home just tearing it up. I just kept it wide open. San Felipe back to Borrego was like riding in Lucerne, a little single track, whoops and rocks. Matt Carlson said after doing the San Felipe section that my hands paid the price. I'll be nursing them for the next week or so. Ian Crawford said I knew I had a little bit of breathing room and I just cruised it around the crossover and power-slid the roads and kept it on two wheels. I had a lot of fun.
CLASS 30
MIKE JOHNSON, No. 30x (First in class and sixth overall motorcycle. Johnson shared riding duties with Brian Pinard, Rex Cameron, Francisco Septien, Chuck Dempsey and Scott Myers.) – It went really well today and it's gone well all year long. It was pretty much a smooth ride but when Rex (Cameron) brought it in after the lake bed in San Felipe, he had chunked all the knobs so that was a little issue when I got on the bike. We did all right, it was a good day. I'm back from having a broken back at the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 so I'm ecstatic to be here and happy to be in winner's circle. It was a feat just to get here in the condition I was in. We only had three riders so we put the feelers out and everyone came through.
CO-RIDER SCOTT MYERS said: They've got some new stuff they've cut in out there on the course. It was a lot of fun and we kind of got a little lost in the beginning – not lost on the track, but got caught behind the 14x (A.J. Stewart). I decided to go for it and see if I could make up some time and I ended up getting them in the hills. Two miles later, I got up into the weeds and fell into a five-foot ditch. I was upside down and the lights came apart. I was screaming and five guys came over and helped me out of the ditch and off we went. It was crazy and seriously unreal.
CLASS 40
JEFF KAPLAN, No. 400x (First in class and eighth overall motorcycle. Kaplan shared riding duties with Ron Wilson, Jeff Sheets, Brett Helm, Chuck Dempsey and Louie Franco.) – I had the second-hardest crash I've ever had in Baja while going over the summit. I never saw what I hit while going pretty fast in fourth gear and the next thing I knew my back wheel was in front of me. It is a pretty awesome feeling to win eight (Tecate SCORE Baja 1000s) in a row.
CO-RIDER LOUIE FRANCO said: My guys are awesome and this one's for Jeff (Kaplan). Jeff and I have been partners for eight years and this is his first championship. This is the best bike we've ever had; it never stops charging. Ron Wilson and I both had the flu when we started today and we are both feeling dead.
CLASS 50
JIM O'NEAL, No. 500x -- (First in class. O’Neal shared riding duties with Andy Kirker, Dan Dawson, Steve Williams, Bob Johnson and Mark Winkleman.) Co-rider Andy Kirker said: It was challenging to find the finish because spectators are usually trying to direct you the wrong way but this time they were pointing the right way. You could see all of their campfires and it was a blast. No problems except for a booby trap I found in a mud hole. They built a big berm and then they backfilled with water making it about four feet deep. I went down in it. Everyone did their job and it was awesome. We took the lead at about the 30-mile mark. We were a rear start but I caught them all on the way up to Ojos Negros. I don't think they ever passed us back. I'm a little sore. I think I did a little too much pre-running and my wrists are sore. Some places on the course are really beat and others are really fun because of the rain and all the traction. It's like a motocross track out there.
CLASS 60
RICHARD JACKSON, No. 619x (First in class. Jackson shared riding duties with Mark Force, Guy Wilson and Al Perrett.) – I missed a rider change coming back so I rode the last section and at first I was thinking 'Oh my gosh, no' and then I thought 'this is great, it is all wet and the sun is coming up.' I missed a gas pit and I stopped and asked two cops for gas but they didn't have anybody. There's nobody out there but one SCORE flagman that had a little gas can for his quad. I would have been stuck out there out of gas.

PRO ATVs
CLASS 25
WAYNE MATLOCK, No. 1a (First in class and first overall ATV. Matlock shared riding duties with Josh Caster and Wes Miller.) – Everyone rode smart all day long. No mistakes and we didn't put a wrench on the bike - just gas-and-go and we only changed three tires over the whole course, which is unusual for us. The course was rough (but) that's what happens when you combine the San Felipe 250 and the Baja 500 together.
CLASS 24
BRANDON BROWN, No. 100a -- (First in class and second overall ATV. Brown shared riding duties with Jorie Williams, Kenny Sanford, Richie Brown and Jamie Kirkpatrick.) It was a long day. We found a problem with the crank (Thursday) afternoon and we were up until 3 a.m. splitting cases and putting the bike back together and then got up at 4 a.m. It came out good. Jorie Williams made it into first by Ojos Negros but then lost his goggles and went back to second overall. We went back and forth with (Wayne) Matlock all day until a rock snuck up on Jamie Kirkpatrick and he wadded up the bike. Luckily it didn't hurt anything and he isn't in too bad of shape. We kept pressing on and lost brake toward the end. The bike is still running awesome which is amazing considering we had 30 seconds on it before it got loaded this morning. We want to come back and keep on trying to win races. This was by far the roughest and nastiest course I've seen so far.
CLASS 26
CARL VELLA, No. 201a (First in class. Vella shared riding duties with Ryan Robey, Mike Penland and Rick Matteson.) – It was great. We had no problems at all and it was just wonderful. We were having fun all the way and grinning from ear to ear. It took us about 24 hours to finish but here we are.

Andy & Scott McMillin capture SCORE Trophy Truck, Overall 4wheel victory;
Norman/Cody/Holladay win overall 2wheel at 44th Tecate SCORE Baja 1000

Davis wins Class 1, Matlock’s team captures overall ATV victory;
Menzies finishes third in SCORE Trophy Truck to capture class & 2011 overall SCORE point title
for 705-mile loop race that started and finished in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico

ENSENADA, Mexico—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.
With 278 starters leaving the Ensenada starting line on Friday morning, competitors from 34 U.S. States and 16 countries battled the rugged terrain in 36 Pro and seven Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs. Except for SCORE Trophy Truck, vehicles left the start line in front of the iconic Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center in 30-second intervals and all vehicles had 32 hours to becom official finishers in the race.
The 278 official starters represent the 16th highest number of starters in the 44-year history of the legendary race. The 155 official finishers represent the 15th-highest total in the entire 44-year history of the event.
The finishing percentage this year was a strong 55.76 percent considering the intense degree of difficulty of the bone-crushingly rocky and the unique ruggedness of the course.
The motorcycle and ATV classes began their odyssey at 6:30 a.m. (PST) Friday with the car and truck classes scheduled to start four hours after the last Sportsman ATV left the starting line.
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.
The granddaddy of all desert races, which was the season-finale of the world’s foremost desert racing series which completed its 38th year in 2011, was a loop race held on the northern part of Mexico’s magnificently mysterious Baja California peninsula starting and finishing 65 miles South of the U.S. border at San Diego adjacent to the Pacific Ocean.
With their SCORE Trophy Truck and overall 4wheel victory, Scott McMillin won his fourth class win in this race and second overall title while Andy McMillin captured his third overall and third class win here.
In this year’s race, Andy McMillin started and finished the grueling route while Scott McMillin drove the extremely rugged San Felipe loop. They covered the 700 required miles in their No. 31 Ford F-150 in 14 hours, 51 minutes and 36 seconds, averaging 47.12 miles per hour. Because they ran five miles less than the other car and truck classes, the McMillins won the overall 4wheel title based on having the highest average speed among all of the car and truck finishers.
Running the fastest time of all vehicles on the course, JCR Honda’s Norman/Cody/Holladay covered the course in 14:14.25 at an average speed of 49.51mph on a Honda CRF450X. Norman/Cody/Holladay gave Honda its 22 overall motorcycle victory including its 15th consecutive triumph, after Norman drove the first and final sections and Cody and Holladay the middle sections.
It was the sixth overall career win for Norman and fifth straight in this race while Cody picked up his fourth career Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 overall motorcycle victory and third straight and for Holladay, a Hollywood stunt rider, it was his first SCORE Baja race win.
The youthful Davis, who drove the entire race solo, won Class 1, finishing sixth overall among 4wheel vehicles, in a time of 16:17:55 with an average speed over the brutally-tough course of 43.26mph.
Finishing as the first overall ATV and Class 25 winner with his second win of the season and fourth class win in this event was the team led by veteran Wayne Matlock, El Cajon, Calif., on a Honda TRX700XX with a time of 18:43:21 (37.66mph).
In the battle of car and truck manufacturers, Ford increased its lead among four-wheel vehicles with its 15th overall engine win and as a chassis with its 13th overall winner.
In 2011, BFGoodrich Tires is celebrating its 36th year in SCORE Baja racing. In addition to being the official tire of SCORE International for over three and a half decades, BFG has been the tire of choice for 25 of the overall 4-wheel vehicle winners in the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, including 25 of the last 26 years and a record run of 20 straight from 1986 through 2005. In this year’s race, BFG actually was the chosen tire by each of the top five overall 4wheel vehicle finishers, including a sweep of the dusty podium.
The rugged course traveled from Ensenada east through Ojos Negros, down Laguna Salada to San Felipe, down through the three legendary Baja canyon washes of Matomi, Huatomote and Chanate, joining familiar routes to the six-mile turnoff before Mike’s Sky Rancho, heading over to the Pacific Coast crossing Highway 1 near San Vicente and to Erendira, then through Santo Tomas, Uruapan and back to Ojos Negros, covering much of the northern half of the majestic Baja California peninsula to and from Ensenada. Except for the San Felipe loop, the course travels in a clockwise direction. The San Felipe loop will be run counter clockwise.
The race course featured six physical checkpoints along with 64 virtual checkpoints.
With SCORE Trophy Trucks claiming eight of the top 10 overall 4wheel vehicle positions based on average speed over the near-identical race course as the rest of the classes in the race, second overall was the team of Nick Vanderwey, Phoenix/Curt LeDuc, Cherry Valley, Calif./Larry Vanderwey, Litchfield Park, Ariz., in the No. 84 Flying Dutchmen Chevy Silverado while third was the team of Bryce Menzies, Las Vegas/Ricky Johnson, Encinitas, Calif., in the No. 70 Menzies Motorsports Ford F-150.
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.
Andy McMillin said at the post-race finish line celebration, “We started 10th. At the SCORE Baja 500 Bryce (Menzies) started in front of me and put a spanking on me so I didn't want to let that happen this race. I got a pretty quick pace off the starts and splashed fuel at mile 77 and by the time we got to the summit I nerfed Larry Roeseler, got around Rob MacCachren, passed Curt LeDuc, Jesse Ashcraft. MacCachren got me back later in the summit and we were battling back and forth off his bumper until he pitted for fuel. Menzies was out front and I got by Kory Scheeler on the silt bed and I just started putting my pedal forward. I knew we were going to change drivers at Borrego and put my dad in so I wanted to get a couple of minutes on everyone just in case. Unfortunately we had a three and a half minute pit stop and we took off out of there in third and my dad had a flat tire.
“My dad did a great job on the San Felipe loop. We kept our pace and kept our position and Bryce was doing work out front and was running away with it. Luckily he had a little issue and we were able to make up time. I got back in the truck and Bryce pulled over for fuel and we got around them. That was the most intense race I've ever been a part of. I was 30 seconds to them and Bryce was 30 seconds to me on the beach. It was a freight train free for all. It was such a blast. It was so much fun. I'm glad to win my second SCORE Baja 1000 with my dad. It means a lot.”
Following a heated battle with the runner-up team led by Shane Esposito, Lake Elsinore, Calif., on a Kawasaki KX450F and third place JCR Honda teammates Colton Udall, San Clemente, Calif./David Kamo, Caldwell, Idaho/Timmy Weigand, Valencia, Calif., Norman was as excited as he was in each of his previous overall motorcycle victgories.
Said Norman at the post-race media conference, “It was a rough morning for me. I crashed the bike about 20 miles in but everything was alright and I started finding my rhythm, got down the road and I was really excited to get through Borrego and the road crossing. My first stint was almost over and I hit the biggest mound ever and just sent it at 70 miles per hour and took the biggest digger. I don't know how I popped up so quickly but everything seemed okay though I was pretty banged up. I kept the bike going, got it to the pit and had to do a few repairs on it. Quinn (Cody) pinned it hard and did a really good job and so did Logan (Holladay.)
“I got back on in the meadow in Valle de Trinidad and took her home at night. It was a really tough day. Baja had its moments with me today. It didn't make it easy. We had a challenger on the Kawasaki with my former teammate Robby Bell. They were there all day. They fought hard and kept us honest. It's going to be tough in the years to come in Baja. It sounds like there's going to be a lot more competition and it's going to elevate the sport and what we have to do to come down here and be successful. It's good for the sport, good for SCORE Baja racing and exciting for all the fans too.”
Winning the ATV Class 24 and finishing second overall among ATVs was the team led by Brandon Brown, Umatilla, Ore. on a Honda TRX450R. Brown won his class in all three SCORE Baja races this season and won this race for the second straight year.
Among the other 4wheel vehicle class winners in this year’s Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 were: Lee Banning, Laveen, Ariz. (SCORE Lite, Foddrill-VW), Christian Hall, Bakersfield, Calif. (Class 10, Penhall-Chevy), Josh Quintero, El Centro, Calif. (Class 6, Ford Raptor), Donald Moss, Sacramento, Calif. (Class 3, Ford Bronco), Dan Chamlee, Carpenteria, Calif. (Class 7, Ford Ranger), Wes Bevly III, Corpus Christi, Texas (Stock Full, Ford F-150), Jim Anderson, Reno, Nev. (Class 5, unlimited VW Baja Bug), Kent Kroeker, Valley Center, Calif. (Class 8, Dodge Ram1500), Reid Rutherford, Montrose, Colo. (Class 7-2, Mason-Chevy), Tony Miglini, Dallas (Class 4, Predator X18S-Chevy) and Jeffrey Smith, Oceanside, Calif. (Class 5-1600, VW Baja Bug).
For the Moss Class 3 team, it was their 36th SCORE race win, third race win this season and eighth Class 3 win in this race. It was Chamlee’s fifth Class 7 victory in this race and third race win in his class this season.
Winning the motorcycle Class 21 for the second time this season was the team led by former NFL player and University of Nevada football star Trevor Insley, San Clemente, Calif., on a Honda CRF450X.
Other age group motorcycle winners were teams led by Mike Johnson, El Paso, Texas (Class 30, Honda CRF450X), Jeff Kaplan, Thousand Oaks, Calif. (Class 40, Honda CRF450X), Jim O’Neal, Simi Valley, Calif. (Class 50, Honda XR650R) and Richard Jackson, Acton, Calif. (Class 60, Honda CRF450X). Kaplan and O’Neal earned their 10th class wins in this race, while Jackson captured his ninth class victory and Johnson, who earned this year’s SCORE overall motorcycle point title with three wins in three races this year, picked up his second Class 30 win in the last three years in this event.
This race also featured the prestigious Sal Fish SCORE IronRider awards presented to each motorcycle and/or ATV rider who completed the entire course within the time limit while riding solo. Of the 18 racers officially declared their intention to compete in the race as solo riders, seven of them finished within the 32-hour time limit to earn the special award. The fastest solo rider was Trent Burgiss, Hood River, Ore. (Class 22, KTM XC-W530) completing the course in 21:28:24, averaging 32.83mph.
The fastest Sportsman 4-wheel vehicle was driven by Viry Felix, Ensenada, Mexico (SPT Buggy, Varo-VW) while the fastest Sportsman motorcycle team was led by Ulises Fierro, Tijuana, Mexico (SPT M/C>450cc, Honda CRF450X). Felix became the first Mexican national female to drive solo and complete this race. The only other racer to accomplish this feat was USA’s Judy Smith, now a noted desert racing journalist, who did it in Class 1 in 1972 when the race started in Ensenada and finished in La Paz.
Among the many other talented entries from all over the world was the venerable Rod Hall, Reno, Nev., who is only individual who has raced in all 44 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 races.
The legendary Hall, who will turn 74 on Tuesday, has a race-record 21 career class wins in this event and is the only driver to have competed every year (all in a car or truck class). Hall was looking for as many as two class wins this year, but unfortunately neither vehicle finished the race. He was entered as the third driver for his sons Chad and Josh Hall in SCORE Trophy Truck and as the second driver in the Stock Full (Sam Edgar) class.
Together, the Hall family has combined for a SCORE record 33 class wins in this race with Chad having eight and Josh four.
With numerous co-drivers to assist, the RPM Off-Road Team of Bristol, Va., had an event record seven total vehicles entered in this race. Clyde Stacy was driver of record in SCORE Trophy Truck, Class 4 and Class 17, Justin Matney was driver of record in Class 8, Class 11 and Stock Mini and John Matney (Justin’s father) was entered in Sportsman Buggy.
Justin Matney won Class 11 and John Matney was second in this race in Sportsman Buggy as the other five vehicle all did not finish the rugged race.
Leading the points in Class 8, Class 11, Class 4, Class 17 and Stock Mini, the RPM Off-Road Team picked up 11 class wins this season, establishing unprecedented season results in the SCORE Desert Series.
Besides the 34 U.S. States represented on the entry list, racers competed from Australia, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Mexico, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico and the US Territory of Guam.
In addition to season class point championships, the racers were also competing for part of the nearly $400,000 in cash purse and contingency postings for the race. Drivers in the Pro car and truck classes are also attempting to earn prestigious SCORE Toyota Milestone Awards given to all Pro car and truck class drivers who complete every required mile of the five-race season. Being presented by Toyota Motorsports for the 26th consecutive year, a total of 21 drivers earned the award 2011 SCORE Desert Series for completing every required race mile for the season.
