Coming in second place all season is
perhaps even more challenging than winning
a single race, especially when you add that
the amount of competition in Class 10 has
grown, and the fact that all of these open-
wheel buggies have the same limited (1655cc)
engines and state-of-the-art suspension
systems. "It's super cost effective for a spec-class," said Navarro.
Recently, however, the class changed once SCORE approved the use of 35-inch
tires which according to Navarro, has blown the field wide open. In fact, 20-plus
entries ran Class 10 during the 49th SCORE Baja 1000, making for a very crowded
field at any race. "It's not about horsepower and travel necessarily, because these
are spec vehicles," said Navarro. "It comes down to Class 10 being a driver's class
and people gravitate to that."
