CORE Class 10 has catapulted some of the
biggest names in desert racing into the seats of
Class 1 and Trophy Trucks. To a growing number
of competitors, it has proven to be more than
a stepping stone into the unlimited ranks. These
spec-engine buggies are evolving into a major-sized
league of their own with incredible overall wins and
unpredictable finishes.
Take for example what happened at the 52nd Annual
SCORE Baja 1000 after three days of relentless rain.
Chase Warren, with co-driver's Adam Pfankuch, Ricky
Kern, and brother Chris Warren, was racing in the
(#1088) Alumni Craft buggy. After a slow start due
to rain delays, things finally began to click, but an
on-course mechanical issue set them back an hour
behind the leader.
