2009 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 Fact Sheet

Nov. 16, 2009 By Dominic Clark/SCORE Media

2009 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000

WHAT:     42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 desert race
Final event of the five-race 2009 SCORE Desert Series

WHEN:     Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday, November 18-22, 2009

WHERE:   Ensenada-Baja California, Mexico (65 miles south of U.S./Mexico Border)

WHO:        Over 350 entries from 39 U.S. States, and 14 countries, competing in 28 Pro and 6 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs

COURSE:     TOTAL MILEAGE: 672.85 miles (6 checkpoints plus the finish line). Starts and finishes on Blvd. Costero, adjacent to the Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center in Ensenada. From the start in Ensenada the course will go east to Ojos Negros for almost 40 miles which will be raced in both directions during the race. From Ojos Negros, the course will travel in a clockwise direction. From Ojos Negros, the course turns South to El Alamo and then east up through the Summit and makes a South turn at Cohabuzo Junction and on to the the infamous Laguna Salada, paralleling Mexican Highway 5.  Next is San Felipe loop where the course will cover some of the rugged Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 course including the magnificent Matomi Wash.
     After the San Felipe loop, which travels in a counterclockwise direction from and back to Borrego, the course will head north and northwest, joining Highway 3 for a short distance to the Mike’s Sky Ranch turnoff. Then the course heads behind Mike’s and around Rancho Las Truchas and Rancho El Coyote and down the challenging Simpson’s hill. From this point the course is very similar to the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 heading north along 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.  In the Erendira area, the course avoids the rocky section along the Pacific, taking instead a high plateau east of that area.

This year’s race course will feature 6 outlying checkpoints where each vehicle is required to quickly stop before continuing on.  The checkpoints will be located as follows: Checkpoint No. 1—No. of Santa Catarina (race mile 90.03), No. 2—West of Borrego (rm 213.27), No. 3—South of San Felipe (rm 309.80), No. 4—West of Borrego (rm 401.94), No. 5—San Vicente Vineyards  (rm 535.32), No. 6—South of Ojos Negros  (rm 631.25)

The last time this race ended in Ensenada was 2005.

TIRE STREAK:
BFGoodrich Tires, long a staple in desert racing, had an amazing streak of 20 consecutive overall 4-wheel vehicle winners broken in 2006 by Toyo Tires, but won again both in 2007 and 2008.

ENGINE WINNERS:
In 4-wheel vehicle competition, Ford motor has produced 13 overall winners and VW motors is second with 12 overall winners, followed Chevy with 10, Porsche with 3, Toyota with 2, and Dodge with 1.

CHASSIS WINNERS:

IRC Tracking Devices:
Continuing to help increase safety, verify route and speed, SCORE is again requiring the mandatory use of tracking devices from International Racing Consultants in ALL classes.  Race tracking of all entries can be accessed at www.trackinginternational.com.

BACK FOR MORE:
Another testament to how much this race means to the sport of desert racing, 24 of 27 Pro class winners from last year are back in the starting field for this year’s race.

HALL JUST KEEPS ON GOING AND GOING:
When veteran Rod Hall straps on his racing helmets and take the green flag, he will keep his incredible streak alive of being the only racer who has competed in all 42 SCORE Baja 1000 races. Hall, who will turn 72 on Nov. 22, will be the second driver in vehicles in both Stock Mini and Stock Full. Hall is the all-time winningest racer in this event with 19 class wins

CONTINUING STREAKERS:
Jim O’Neal, an age-group motorcycle rider, has put together teams of riders who have seven class wins in the last five years, including an amazing three in 2006 (Class 40, Class 50 and Class 60). Larry Roeseler has an amazing five straight class wins (four in Class 1 and last year in SCORE Trophy-Truck). Francisco Septien has three straight wins (Class 30) along with Mike Shaffer (Class 17). Recording two class wins each year, with four straight motorcycle class wins is Craig Adams (Class 40, Class 50). With two straight class wins is Chad Hall (Stock Full, Arnoldo Ramirez (Class 1-2/1600), Kendall Norman (Class 22), Robby Bell (Class 22), Brett Helm (Class 40), Francisco Arredondo (Class 21) and Chad Black (Class 20). Arredondo and Black are entered in Class 22 this year.

TIGHT POINTS--CLASS 1 & CLASS 1-2/1600: SCORE points are determined both on final finishing position and number of vehicles which started the race within the individual class. After four events, following Robby Gordon’s big lead of 24 points over second place in the SCORE Overall point standings (he also has an even larger 48-point lead in SCORE Trophy-Truck), only 16 points separate the rest of the top 10 in the 2009 SCORE Overall point standings. Second overall is Class 10 point leader Mike Lawrence and the closest class races are the unlimited Class 1, Class 1-2/1600 and Class 22 for open motorcycles.  Randy Wilson leads Class 1 by six points over Harley Letner/Martin Christensen and seven over Armin Schwarz/Martin Christensen. Tied for the Class 1-2/600 point lead are Brian Wilson/Sammy Ehrenberg and Justin Smith.  In Class 22, the team led by Cameron Corfman leads by just three points over two teams (Colton Udall and Ivan Rameriz) and five points over the team led by Kendall Norman.

TOYOTA AWARDS:
The 2009 SCORE Desert Series also involves the hunt for the 24th annual SCORE Toyota Milestone Awards. The prestigious SCORE Toyota Milestone Awards are presented to every racer who completes every required mile of every race in the 2009 SCORE Desert Series. A total of 16 drivers are still eligible for Toyota Milestone awards.
