Jeff Proctor has established himself as one of Class 7's most formidable competitors, capturing multiple SCORE Baja 1000 championships with back-to-back victories in 2021 and 2022. The 47-year-old Glendora, California racer has proven equally dominant at the historic SCORE Baja 500, securing three consecutive class wins from 2019 through 2021, showcasing remarkable consistency across the sport's premier events.
Behind the wheel of his Honda Ridgeline, Proctor demonstrated elite-level competitiveness with second-place class finishes at the Baja 1000 in both 2017 and 2018, setting the stage for his championship runs. His methodical approach to desert racing was evident during his 2018 Baja 500 victory, where he emphasized patience and equipment preservation despite early setbacks including a split driveshaft in deep sand.
"We were just working our plan and taking it easy on the equipment," Proctor explained following one of his podium performances. "Knowing the attrition rate and how hard it is to finish this race, it is a very special accomplishment." His name appears in the SCORE record books alongside legends of the sport, cementing his status as a modern Class 7 champion who understands that consistent execution often trumps raw speed in the unforgiving Baja Peninsula terrain.

racing ahead of them. While this added to the difficulty of the course,
exposing rocks and changing lines they had already mapped out, the remaining
classes also had to deal with areas of large rocks that many had not encountered
before. This led to more bottlenecks in some areas, especially up the Summit, and
some rocky areas that broke other vehicles on the course. Read More

For many of the racers in the four-wheel classes, simply getting through the SCORE Baja 500 course would present its own tough challenges, let alone the competitors who are doing everything in their power to finish and win. Out in front of these classes was the rivalry between Jeff Proctor of the factory Honda team in the No. 709 Ridgeline, and 2020 class champion Dan Chamlee, a privateer who has 16 class championships, in the No. 700 Ford Ranger. Chamlee finished second after starting in the third position, with co-driver Kurt Kimball. Proctor and co-driver Pat Dailey started first after winning the class in San Felipe, and kept the lead to ultimately win the class. Read More
