SCORE JOURNAL 37 38TH SCORE SAN FELIPE 250 REVIEW The Method Race Wheel Qualifier began with 29 entries in the SCORE Trophy Truck Spec class in which Jason McNeil in the No. 234 TSCO Chevy ran the fastest time of 4:53.501 to start first in that class. In the SCORE Trophy Truck class of 40 entries, Tavo Vildosola in the No. 21 Ford Raptor had the fastest time to start first, with a time of 4:33.506. He was followed by Bryce Menzies in the No. 7 Ford Raptor with a time of 4:33:795. "Qualifying was something that we were focused on this year," said Tavo Vildosola. "We knew we needed to qualify better after ending the 2024 race with an eleventh and ninth place in qualifying and that does not put you in a position to win. Today we had smooth, clean run and the course is tricky; I think that is the right word. It invites you to cut corners and cheat a little, but then it bites you when you are out of position for the next corner. We decided to clean that up and be smooth and rail around the course and I think it worked. Over the winter we worked on reliability and suspension and it is running amazingly." The new SCORE 2WD Class has 16 entries in which Ryan Daniel in the No. 28T Jimco Chevy earned the first-place start position with a time of 4:51:311. It was no surprise when Ricky Johnson in the No. 1L Ford Raptor took first place among the SCORE TT Legends class, with a time of 4:46:413. SJ • Ricky Johnson took the first starting position in the SCORE TT Legends class for Gus Vildosola Sr.
