enthusiasts that rally around
their team. Make no mistake,
chase teams and pit crews
are there to win. Dealing with
the dangers and discomfort is
simply the price they are willing
to pay to savor a victory.
Depending on the class they
support, chase teams and pit
crews can be massive with the
latest in high-tech trucks and
tools. On the opposite end,
teams can also be as tight as a
few good friends with limited
supplies. Races like the SCORE
Baja 1000, however, is no place
for a "wannabe" or someone
who thinks they like Baja racing.
Races like these are a beast
that takes no prisoners and it's
where experience comes into
play in order to survive it, enjoy
it, and have overall success.
SCORE Journal caught up with
two different chase teams after
the 2016 SCORE Baja 1000 for an
inside look at their experiences
and how they offer support.
