INTERVIEW BROCK HEGER UTV CLASSES BUGGY CLASSES While Jefferies had a flawless day, Baja was not kind to the 2022 class champion Kyle Quinn in the No. 100 Wilson Motorsports car, nor the No. 153 car of Brad Wilson. Both racers had problems on the course and could not finish. It was the same for former class champion Cody Parkhouse, who also had issues with the course that caused his car to break down, ending his race early. Cody Reid in the No. 168 car avoided all the hazards on the course until race mile 225, where he accidentally rolled the car and promptly began to get it fixed. "We were down for a few hours but got the car flipped back over," said Reid. "I got to give SCORE a lot of credit for checking in and making sure we were fine. I didn't have many issues with Mike's Sky Ranch (race mile 150), and the coast was fast. I was expecting the course to be a lot worse, but it was a lot of fun." Despite the mishap, Reid managed to cross the finish line in second place, two hours behind Jefferies, but still in an excellent position to remain in the lead for the class championship, but by only two points. In third place was Al Torres in the No. 101 car, who also had problems on the course but managed to finish two hours after Reid. "We had a bad day, but still managed to finish it, which is always good," said Torres. "The Uruapan section (race mile 310) was really hard. We lost a belt in the last ten miles and had to stop to replace it. We also got a couple of flat tires and had a little crash too at around race mile 260." SCORE JOURNAL 74 SCORE JOURNAL 74
