Take vac day, sick day, personal day, FMLA. Lots of options.

 

Not likely (but always like to)... Need some more jobs to build up the Baja fund!

Have a look a couple of Baja 500 trips from the past:

2006 Baja 500: http://vivabaja.com/606

This dog even has a SCORE membership as an official co-rider!

 

Nice write ups as always mr David! Brings back memories

 

I cant believe a dog can stay on that bike!! I cant imagine hes racing in class #22.... I know if you tried to put a dog on my bike while I was racing, I would certainly cross the finish line without him, lol..Im amazed, I have seen him before, now I wanna see some action shots!!

 

Maybe search You Tube... The dog clings onto the bike while racing via a patch of carpet! The dog is not on the bike for the entire race, however.

 

Thats awesome..

Vultures... It was the San Felipe 250 (never was a Score San Felipe 300).

EDIT:Thanks to Lil Manny, the race was the 2011 Score Challenge of Champions (a quick replacement for the cancelled Primm 300 in Nevada). Baja always comes through!

 

No David last year the primm race was cancelled due to BLM regulations and instead they ran a sf 300 but do to a lack of entries they just cancelled the whole thing this year!

 

12 days to go!

 

Here is the Score Press Release for what happened in 2011 with the Primm 300... It became the 'San Felipe Challenge of Champions':


SCORE International confirmed today that the next race of five-race 2011 SCORE Desert Series will be the new Tecate SCORE San Felipe Challenge of Champions to be held Sept. 9-11 in San Felipe, Baja, California, Mexico. The race replaces the Primm 300 race that was cancelled this year because of insurmountable insurance issues.

The new race, for 17 Pro and 2 Sportsman classes for cars and trucks, will run over the same course that was recently used for this year’s MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 in March of approximately 250 miles.

After executing the event agreement today in Baja California with SCORE President/CEO Sal Fish, Francisco Perez Tejada Padilla, Mayor of Mexicali stated that, "The cities of Mexicali and San Felipe are pleased to announce that SCORE has decided to continue supporting Baja California by adding another race to their calendar in Mexico. This shows the great communication achieved by the Federal, State and Municipal authorities with Sal Fish. We are pleased that SCORE recognizes our previous hard work and continues to have confidence in our support. This new race will become the epicenter of desert racing during the month of September."

Fish stated that, "While SCORE regrets ending a 16 year relationship with the Primm Valley Resorts and Las Vegas Events, we are pleased to open a new door with Mexicali and San Felipe and provide our participants with an exciting Baja racing challenge in the friendly, relaxing and scenic city of San Felipe."

Elaborating on the cancellation of this year’s Primm 300, Fish confirmed that, "The sole reason for the decision was due to insurance requirements and cost. The Primm entities dramatically increased the liability insurance requirements for the event, which made conducting the event cost prohibitive."
