SCORE Trophy Truck Unofficial Results:

1. Gustavo Vildolsola Jr
2. Robby Gordon
3. Roger Norman
4. BJ Baldwin
5. Gary Weyhrich
7. Troy Herbst
8. Nick Vanderway
9. Mark McMillin
10. Jason Voss
11. Robbie Pierce
12. Jesse Jones
13. Steve Strobel
14. Adam Householder

This is the first time since the 1000 began in 1967 that a Mexican national team has won, overall. Congratulations Gustavo!

 

Probably because the locals dug a 10ft trench after Gustavo passed by & before Gordon got to that spot.....

Naww, congrats Gustavo, well done !!!!


But in all honesty that sort of shit does happen every year somewhere along the course, whether its because the crowd wants to see a bigger,badder jump. OOoorrrrrr the locals want to make sure another local wins or at the very least has an edge....

I only say this because it DOES happen regularly & no way in Hell is anyone going to convince me that he's a better driver than Robby....just my $.02......

 

Robby blames his second place finish on a broken driveshaft and a failed GPS. Yup, that would do it!

Awesome clip.

Have you seen the one of my son's sonogram? He is expected in about a month.

Thanks for that... great fun!

 

An amigo who was at the 1000 shot a very nice video that shows more racer car classes than just the Trophy Trucks... Check it out, from BajaBound.com

Yah man... that's what happens when you put 800+ horsepower in a sand wash in Baja... You should experience it in person!

The San Felipe 250 is in March... the first SCORE Baja race of 2011, followed by the Baja 500 in June, then the Baja 1000 in November.
