2025 6TH SCORE BAJA 400 RACE PREVIEW
His Baja Bound Adventure rides
is a service many winning teams
have taken before competing in the
grueling race. "Most riders don't
realize what it takes to race and
simply be properly prepared for
Baja," says Morton. "In my workshops
and Baja Bound Adventure rides, I
essentially teach riders how to be
safe and successful when riding in
the Baja desert."
Because of this, Morton has
managed and lead race teams
wanting to tackle a SCORE race. Most
recently, in 2023 he led the Class
50 team of Robert Creemers from
New Zealand who won the SCORE
San Felipe 250, SCORE Baja 500 and
SCORE Baja 400 in their class that
year.
Along with providing Baja bike
tours, Morton is also an expert at
prepping motorcycles for Baja,
offering an "arrive and ride" race bike
rentals for anyone who wanted to
compete on a fully prepped bike.
"Tim has always been a great fan
of the underdog whether it was a
team he was racing with or just some
young up and coming kids making an
effort against the factory supported
teams," said Johnny Campbell. "He
always is willing to share his Baja and
racing knowledge with most anyone,
especially those new to the desert
racing discipline."
Morton and Jennifer also continue
a long-time tradition of donating
and supporting the local people
in Baja, providing items for kids in
local schools there, raising funds for
orphanages, and much more. SJ
