Transition Time This February issue of SCORE Journal is a transitional one, as we close out the prior season and PREVIEW the next season. We celebrate our final recognition for the 2022 SCORE season Class Champions and other special achievements. See all the great pageantry of the SCORE Awards that took place once again in person, for the first time since the 2019 season. The Awards Night also included the “voted-on” SCORE Off-Roadsman awards, the Legacy Award, and of course, the 2022 Season’s SCORE Person of the year. See all the Awards Night recognitions and celebrations along with the 2022 Awards video, which can also be reviewed at any time on the SCORE YouTube page. As we enter the 2023 SCORE World Desert Championship 50th Anniversary season, see this issue’s season’s Preview section, with insight provided by SCORE Race Director and President, Jose Grijalva. Learn more about this year’s schedule, rules, and Class changes, plus safety and 50th Anniversary announcements and more. This would include the second installment of this year’s 50th Anniversary of SCORE International’s very special interview sessions with former SCORE President and Owner, Sal Fish, who once again has provided even more insight into the very beginning of SCORE as a world class racing organization. SCORE’s Safety Priority As SCORE and safety technologies continue to evolve, the priority to develop safer operations for both the racers and fans has only increased. A major development during the 2022 season was the introduction of separate moto course routes that were implemented to keep the moto classes away from the 4 Wheel classes, which will continue for the 2023 season. Learn more about the advances in Moto class safety measures, and other series implementations as we get the latest from SCORE Moto Liaison, Andy Kirker. In this issue, we not only present our annual look at the latest in safety equipment, but also some great outside input. One is from LifeLine Fire Safety on the latest in Fire Suppression technology and set-up, along with SNELL’s Director of Education, Hong Zhang, regarding the different rating systems that off-road motorsports activities need to be aware of. All of this input can keep SCORE participants safer and provide more awareness of this very important part of your race prep. See more details on the latest in helmets, head and neck restraint systems, and apparel products you need to learn more about. We're looking forward to seeing you all again at the upcoming King Shocks 36th SCORE San Felipe 250 Presented by Baja Vida this March 29 - April 2. Enjoy the Issue.
