for BFG and Toyo is similar in
our testing. Where I see an
advantage is the drivability of the
tire. The drivability of the Toyo
is amazing. I don't think we will
see that at San Felipe much,
however. It's not like the 500, or
1000 with all the fast fire roads
and rally roads like the Mikes
Loop or beach sections. So the
drivability won't come into play
as much. The SCORE Baja Sur
500, the SCORE Baja 500 and
the SCORE Baja 1000 is where
we will see the advantages. You
can push harder and the tires
are more precise; they have less
push. I am able to tip toe around
rocks a lot better. They will be a
great addition to the team.
SJ: What can SCORE do to
improve racing?
TV: Why is there a throw
out race? In every other major
racing series every race counts.
In my opinion, a championship
should be every mile of every
race. Not four out of five,
that's not a champion. Why do
different races count differently?
If I go race San Felipe and there
are five trucks entered, it costs
me just as much time, money
and effort as if there were 50
trucks. Why are you penalizing
me to race against five trucks; it
should award the same points.
It's the same with the SCORE
Baja Sur 500 or the Imperial
Valley 250. Why are they worth
different points? Is the Monaco
Grand Prix worth more or less
points than Russia in Formula
1? They are all worth the
same points, it's the same with
WRC, but not SCORE. We are
continuing on with a broken
points system. It's probably been
20 years since it was looked at
and changed. It's time to take
a look at the points system
and change to be more like a
040
