Darren Skelton & the Don-A-Vee
Kia Sportage widened thier points lead with the Laughlin
win, as the 97 SCORE Desert Series winds down. Skelton
completed 9 laps in a time of just under 2 hr. 46 min.,
and likely sealed his 97 Class 3 Championship in the
effort.96 Champion
Todd Gatrell finished second, a lap down at 8, with a
time just under 2hr. 39 min. With Skelton far ahead in
points, and Kovell a good distance behind, Gatrell will
likely hold the #2 slot for the 97 season. His closest
competitor, Kirk Kovell finished up 4th, completing no
laps, and fell further back in the points chase. 3rd place went to Dick
Sasser, who while not in contention for the Class 3
title, finished with a fine showing of 8 laps, in a time
of 2 hr. 45 min. Throughout the season,
several class 3's have competed, and the Baja 1000 always
results in a strong showing. The afordable class is
gaining popularity in several series, and we'd like to
see that trend continue here in SCORE. Come on Guys and
Girls, Race'm if ya' got'em! | Position | Name | Laps | Time |
