New MasterCraft Safety facility site of ‘Live’ drawing for starting
Positions for 42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500 desert race
Over 300 entries expected June 3-6 in Ensenada, Mexico, for Rd 3 of five-race 2010 SCORE Desert Series;
Real time results from the start draw to be posted on Baja 1000
LOS ANGELES—Launching pre-race festivities, a special ‘live’ drawing for start positions for June’s 42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500 desert race will be held on Saturday, April 24, at the new MasterCraft Safety facility in Santee, Calif. Being hosted by Robbie Pierce’s MasterCraft Racing, the event will also include a charity raffle, several SCORE race vehicles, racer appearances, ‘Fighting Cancer with Tacos’ charity, music and vendor displays from several of the leading companies in the industry.
Round 3 of the five-race 2010 SCORE Desert Series, the World’s Foremost Desert Racing Series, will feature over 300 entries, competing in 28 Pro and 7 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs, will be held June 3-6 in Ensenada, Mexico. Traditionally one of the most popular events on the SCORE schedule, over 100,000 spectators are expected to enjoy the world’s best desert racers in action at this year’s Tecate SCORE Baja 500.
Conducting the drawing will be SCORE International CEO/President Sal Fish, in his fourth decade leading the world’s foremost desert racing organization. SCORE was founded in 1973 by the late motorsports legend Mickey Thompson and Fish was quickly lured away from his position as publisher of noted Hot Rod Magazine to run the pioneering company.
The Tecate SCORE Baja 500 drawing will be streamed live on the internet at Baja 1000.
“It’s always a lot of fun to get together with our SCORE racing family away from the pressure and tension of race weekend and it’s a great change of pace to have a live drawing for start positions instead of the regular computerized drawing we normally have,” said Fish, who began his SCORE career in 1974. “We sincerely appreciate Robbie Pierce and his MasterCraft Safety welcoming us and also the effort by MasterCraft Racing to put together another memorable event for SCORE.”
The festivities will start with Taco bar along with vehicle and vendor displays at 11 a.m. and the live drawing will start at 1 p.m. at MasterCraft Safety’s new complex, located at 9335 Stevens Road in Santee, Calif.
The relocation moves the company’s operations from the previous facility on the west side of the 67 Freeway to a newly purchased and renovated facility located just east of the 67 Freeway and north of Woodside Avenue in Santee.
"MasterCraft Safety is extremely grateful to be able to continue to support the SCORE Desert Series,” said Robbie Pierce, MasterCraft CEO who also drives one of three MasterCraft Racing Chevy Silverado race trucks in the marquee SCORE Trophy-Truck division. “We are honored to host our fellow competitors and industry friends at the drawing party for the 42nd running of the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 and look forward to showcasing our new corporate facility and nearby off-road businesses like Jimco Racing, Fox Shox, AlumiCraft, Racer X, and Stewart Race Works."
The newest official member of the SCORE sponsor family this year, MasterCraft Safety completed its first year of a three-year agreement as the co-title sponsor of the MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe desert race.
The SCORE Trophy-Truck team of San Felipe co-title sponsor MasterCraft Safety celebrated with all three of its Jimco-built Chevy Silverado race trucks finishing in the top 10 in class.
The team was led by MasterCraft Safety CEO Robbie Pierce, Santee, Calif., who finished a career-high fourth in SCORE Trophy-Truck and seventh overall while teammates Rob MacCachren, Las Vegas and Will Staats, Valencia, Calif., who were eighth and ninth respectively out of 27 sturdy starters in SCORE Trophy-Truck.
MasterCraft has rolled over its special $10,000 cash contingency purse from San Felipe to this year’s Tecate SCORE Baja 500.
The Locos Mocos Pit team will be serving the tacos with proceeds to benefit the Castro-Limon Cancer Foundation for children. The raffle will also benefit the same foundation with a variety of prizes including numerous items from MasterCraft along with a set of four BFGoodrich Tires.
Among the other companies in addition to Jimco, Fox Shox, AlumiCraft, Racer X and Stewart Race Works who are expected to have displays at the event are: Walker Evans Racing, 4 Wheel Parts, Off-Road Warehouse, Racer Services and Offroad Evolution.
In order to be included in the April 24 live drawing, entries must be received in the SCORE office via FAX, overnight delivery or regular mail on or before next Monday, April 19. Entries will be accepted up until race morning with each vehicle receiving the next available start position and number within the class.

The qualified racers are from this year’s MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250.

Vehicle displays, racer appearances, charity raffle, emergency
Donations all part of ‘live’ start draw at MasterCraft Safety
For 42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500 desert race
Over 300 entries expected June 3-6 in Ensenada, Mexico, for Rd 3 of five-race 2010 SCORE Desert Series;
Real time ‘live’ draw results to be broadcast on Baja 1000
LOS ANGELES—With an organized effort to give back something tangible back to the people of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, Saturday’s ‘live’ drawing for start positions for June’s 42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500 desert race has taken on a whole new meaning for SCORE International.
Being held this Saturday at the new MasterCraft Safety facility in Santee, Calif., the event is being hosted by Robbie Pierce’s MasterCraft Racing and Sal Fish and the day will also include a charity raffle and a ‘Tacos for Charity’ stand for a Baja children’s cancer foundation, emergency donations for survivors of the recent earthquake in Baja Calif., several SCORE race vehicles on display, racer appearances, music and vendor displays from several of the leading companies in the industry.
Round 3 of the five-race 2010 SCORE Desert Series, the World’s Foremost Desert Racing Series, will feature over 300 entries from over 30 US States and over 10 countries, competing in 28 Pro and 7 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs, will be held June 3-6 in Ensenada, Mexico. Traditionally one of the most popular events on the SCORE schedule, over 100,000 spectators are expected to enjoy the world’s best desert racers in action at this year’s Tecate SCORE Baja 500. The finalized course is expected to be approximately 430 miles.
Conducting the drawing will be SCORE International CEO/President Sal Fish, in his fourth decade leading the world’s foremost desert racing organization.
Saturday’s Tecate SCORE Baja 500 drawing will be streamed live on the internet at Baja 1000. Displays will open at 10 a.m. and the drawing is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.
“SCORE and Baja are synonymous in many ways,” said Fish, who began his SCORE career in 1974, soon after it was founded in 1973. “Robbie Pierce is providing a wonderful opportunity to give something back to the people of Baja in a very organized effort and we look forward to being a part of it. This is the 37th year that SCORE has been producing desert races in Baja and while racers individually and as small groups have certainly been extremely generous in a variety of ways over the years, this is a call to our entire SCORE family to participate as a group during a significant time of need. This is a wonderful outreach project and I am honored to help lead the effort.”
The SCORE live drawing event at MasterCraft is also conducting a raffle for the Castro-Limon Cancer Foundation which provides treatment for children stricken with the disease. Proceeds from the Locos Mocos and Baja Pits group ‘Tacos for Charity’ sales are also going to benefit the Foundation.
“We are asking that individuals and teams bring requested relief items and/or cash donations to MasterCraft on Saturday,” Fish added. “The Federal and State governments of Mexico have reached an agreement to allow all humanitarian support and supplies to the recent victims of this tragedy to cross the border free of any duty or permits.”
In an effort to help jump-start the aid project for the Mexicali Earthquake relief program, MasterCraft CEO Robbie Pierce, who is also a prominent SCORE racer, has agreed to match the total of the funds raised for the foundation from the Locos Mocos and Baja Pits Taco stand to give to the earthquake victims.
On the SCORE website is a list of supplies requested by the Mexican government to be brought to MasterCraft on Saturday as well as the information regarding cash donations to special accounts that have been set up in both the U.S. and Mexico.
More than 25,000 people lost their homes and were left without basic utilities and services when a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit the Mexicali Valley on April 4.
SCORE will also be announcing a date shortly when Fish will lead a caravan of vehicles with all of the supplies collected to the impacted area which is approximately 30 miles south of Mexicali.
Donations of supplies and/or cash will also be accepted until May 1 at the SCORE office at 23961 Craftsman Road, Unit A, in Calabasas, Calif. Information is available to calling the SCORE office at 818.225.8402.

Held at the new MasterCraft Safety facility in Santee, Calif., the event was hosted by Robbie Pierce’s MasterCraft Racing and Sal Fish and the day also included a charity raffle and a ‘Tacos for Charity’ stand for a Baja children’s cancer foundation, emergency donations for survivors of the recent earthquake in Baja Calif., several SCORE race vehicles on display, racer appearances, music and vendor displays from several of the leading companies in the industry.
The SCORE live drawing event at MasterCraft also included a raffle for the Castro-Limon Cancer Foundation which provides treatment for children stricken with the disease. Proceeds from the Locos Mocos and Baja Pits group ‘Tacos for Charity’ sales will also go to benefit the Foundation.
In a special gesture for the Mexicali Earthquake relief program, MasterCraft CEO Robbie Pierce, who is also a prominent SCORE Trophy-Truck racer, is matching the total of the funds raised for the foundation from the Locos Mocos and Baja Pits Taco stand to give to the earthquake victims.
Several thousand dollars was raised for both charitable projects and the final figures are expected to be released this week.
Donations of supplies and/or cash will also be accepted until May 1 at the SCORE office at 23961 Craftsman Road, Unit A, in Calabasas, Calif. Information is available to calling the SCORE office at 818.225.8402.

SCORE-record 42 SCORE Trophy-Trucks entered
Pre-running begins Saturday in Mexico on rugged 438.81-mile
Race course for 42nd Tecate SCORE Baja 500 desert race
June 3-6 event in Ensenada has entries from 26 States, 9 countries; course map available at www.score-internaitonal.com
LOS ANGELES—With the release of the official course map, GPS files and course notes this week, pre-race activity increases significantly starting Friday when the world’s best desert racers officially begin their pre-running and course logistics activities for next month’s 42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500, the second-oldest desert race in the world.
Round 3 of the five-race 2010 SCORE Desert Series, the World’s Foremost Desert Racing Series, will feature nearly 300 entries, competing in 28 Pro and 6 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs, will be held June 3-6 in Ensenada, Mexico. Traditionally one of the most popular events on the SCORE schedule, over 100,000 spectators are expected to enjoy the world’s best desert racers in action at this year’s 42nd anniversary of the Tecate SCORE Baja 500, the original desert race produced by SCORE on July 26, 1974.
With late entries accepted up to race morning, entries are expected from 26 U.S. States from Hawaii to Connecticut, and along with the additional countries of Mexico, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Japan. The green flag will drop for the race at 6 a.m. on Saturday (June 5) for the motorcycle and ATV classes in the Tecate SCORE Baja 500, followed by the car and truck classes three hours after the last ATV at approximately 10 a.m. The elapsed-time race will start and finish in front of the Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center on Boulevard Costero in the heart of Ensenada, leaving and returning into the city through the spectator-laden Arroyo Wash.
The talented field of veteran desert racers heading to Baja includes 15 defending class winners out of the 25 Pro classes that had finishers in last year’s race, including last year’s overall 4-wheel vehicle winners Kory Halopoff/Harley Letner of Orange, Calif. (unlimited Class 1) and SCORE Trophy-Truck champion Rick D. Johnson/Brian Sallee, of Barstow, Calif.
The rugged course 438.81-mile course is a very similar to the last two years, although it is about eight miles longer and the terrain has changed significantly due to torrential rains that impacted both sides of the race course on the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez and in the middle in the summit section. The course, which runs in a clockwise direction, resembles a deflating balloon, winding east to Ojos Negros, down to near San Felipe, back West to the Pacific Ocean below San Vicente and back north east through Santo Tomas on the way back to Ojos Negros and then Ensenada.
“Without all of the immense and considerable help we have received from Ensenada Mayor Pablo Lopez in terms of rapid support, personnel and heavy equipment to repair significant rain damage on much of the course, we would be significantly challenged to finalize a course for this year’s race,” said Sal Fish, SCORE CEO/President since soon after it was founded in 1974. “We just can’t thank Mayor Lopez and all of his people enough for all they have done to support SCORE and our SCORE Baja races.”
The only pre-running that will be allowed on the first 35.18 miles of the course will be outbound only and only on Thursday and Friday, June 3 and 4. No inbound pre-running on the last 35.18 miles of the course will be allowed. Pre-running of the rest of the course will start and finish in the Ojos Negros area.
The four official race checkpoints, where all vehicles are required to make a quick stop, will be located at race mile 84.03 (Santa Catarina), rm196.17 (Borrego), rm 307.30 (Pacific Ocean) and rm397.53 (Rancho San Antonio). The course will also have a number of virtual checkpoints. All vehicles are also required to run International Rally Consultants tracking devices and live vehicle tracking will be available during the race at IRC - International Racing Consultants.
The featured SCORE Trophy-Truck division for high-tech, 800-horsepower, unlimited production trucks has a SCORE-record 42 entries in this year’s Tecate SCORE Baja 500.
Prominent Southern California industrialist and desert racer Ed Stout, who finished third in season points last year in his marquee class and earned a SCORE Toyota Milestone Award, received the first starting positions for 4-wheel vehicles in his No. 31 Stout Industries Chevy Silverado.
While late entries will be accepted up to race morning, as of today, the Pro 4-Wheel vehicles classes with the most entries are: SCORE Trophy-Truck (42), Class 1 (23). Class 1-2/1600 (13) and SCORE Lite (11).
Leading the Pro Motorcycle classes in entries so far are Class 22 (13) and Class 30 (10). Class 24 leads the Pro ATV classes with 15 entries to date.
Among the Sportsman classes, SPT Motorcycles over 250cc has 24 entries and there are also 10 SPT ATVs to date.
Besides the Halopoff/Letner and Johnson/Sallee teams, other defending Pro class champions in the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 entered this year to date are: Kevin Carr, San Diego (Class 5, VW Baja Bug); Dan Chamlee, Carpenteria, Calif. (Class 7, Ford Ranger); Mike Lawrence, Sunset Beach, Calif. (Class 10, Lothringer-VW); Brent Parkhouse, Long Beach, Calif./Brian Burgess, Riverside, Calif. (SCORE Lite, Moulton-VW); Eric Solorzano, Tijuana, Mexico (Class 11, VW Sedan), Joe Bacal, Anthem, Ariz., (Stock Full, Lexus LX570); Mike Johnson, El Paso, Texas/Rex Cameron, Albuquerque, N.M. (Class 30, Honda CRF450X); Eizaburo Karasawa, Japan (Class 50, Honda CRF450X); Nick Nelson, Tehachapi, Calif./Brandon Brown, Eumantilla, Ore. (Class 25, Suzuki LTR450); Craig Christy, Burbank, Calif. (Class 24, Honda TRX450R) and Reid Rutherford, Montrose, Colo. (Class 26, Arctic Cat).
This popular SCORE early summer race began in 1969 under the auspices of the old NORRA organization and SCORE began its enduring run with it on July 26, 1974. This year will be the 37th anniversary of the first SCORE race in Baja.
For the third straight year and just the third time in the 42-year history of the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 desert race, the colorful pre-race Manufacturer’s Midway and Contingency, the start and finish line will all be located in the heart of Ensenada, Mexico on Boulevard Costero adjacent to the historic Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center. It will be the second time in race history that both the pre-race activities and the finish will be held on this historic boulevard.
The SCORE Manufacturer’s Midway will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, June 4 on Blvd Costero. Racer registration will again be held in the Grand Ballroom of the San Nicolas Hotel . Registration hours will be from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 3 and from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday June 4.
The awards celebration will be held poolside at the San Nicolas Hotel on Sunday, June 6 at 11 a.m.
In addition to season point class point championships, drivers in the Pro car and truck classes are also racing to earn prestigious SCORE Toyota Milestone Awards given to all car and truck class drivers who complete every required mile of the five-race season. Being presented by Toyota Motorsports for the 25th consecutive year, a total of 25 drivers remain eligible after Round 1 of the 2010 SCORE Desert Series. Racers are also competing for the annual SCORE Off-Roadsman of the Year awards, including the MasterCraft Safety SCORE Rookie of the Year award.

LOS ANGELES—With the release of the official course map, GPS files and course notes this week, pre-race activity increases significantly starting Friday when the world’s best desert racers officially begin their pre-running and course logistics activities for next month’s 42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500, the second-oldest desert race in the world.
