BFGOODRICH TIRES 57TH SCORE BAJA 500 PREVIEW
Race week starts with the Method Race Wheels Qualifier scheduled for Thursday
June 5th, for SCORE Trophy Truck, TT 2WD, TT Legends, Class 1, and TT Spec
classes. Drivers will be trying to get the best time on a short course to get the
best starting positions for the race. The starting order for other classes will be
determined by a random drawing for each class.
Following the Method Race Wheels Qualifier, Tech and Contingency Day will
be Friday June 6th, where teams and their vehicles will be lined up on Ensenada's
Boulevard Costero, right in front of the Riviera Del Pacifico Cultural Center.
New safety rules for Tech and Contingency Days dictate that any race vehicle
entering the SCORE areas during this time must be operated by two registered
race participants. Both must remain in the vehicle at all times. For safety reasons,
additional registered participants, team members, and SCORE Fans will not be
allowed in those areas, but can view along the route from outside the area fencing.
The pre-dawn morning of Saturday June 7th will mark the start of the race, for
motorcycle and quad competitors to get an approximate 3.5-hour head start in
front of the SCORE Trophy Truck classes. Pre-race ceremonies and introduction of
Ensenada government officials are followed by the roar of the SCORE Trophy Trucks
taking the starting line.
