SCORE SAN FELIPE 250 HISTORY

The SCORE San Felipe 250 began in 1982 after SCORE successfully started the Mexicali 300 to expand SCORE’s racing schedule. The Mexicali 300 had been a very popular race, but SCORE former owner Sal Fish began to see crowded conditions in the growing metropolis and was able to negotiate with the Mexicali government officials to move the race to its county of San Felipe. “I believe what made the difference in this race’s success over time was how racers honed their skills by crossing the border and pre-running in Mexico,” said Fish. “All of those racers who appreciated the land and people, as well as those who respected the traditions of Mexico, all became some of our greatest racers who are now three and four generations competing there.”
