INSIDE VOL. 4, NO. 4 Vol. 4, No. 4 of the SCORE Journal is once again filled with numerous interesting worth-reading features, stories, exciting videos and several news items.

The thorough race coverage starts with MacCachren’s sixth SCORE Trophy Truck win in the SCORE San Felipe 250 and expands to additional coverage of the Class 1, Trophy Truck Spec and Class 10 races. Also highlighted is the first-time Wayne Matlock and his wife Kristen Matlock both won their respective Pro UTV classes in the same race. The motorcycle coverage keys off of the Justin Morgan/Mark Samuels team who won the overall two-wheel competition in their first race as a team. Also in this issue is a colorful feature on the new Polaris RZR XP Turbo S which may be a game changer for UTV racers. Another main feature is on a family from Alaska returning to Baja as Pat Bell’s earliest memories of racing are of family traditions forged in SCORE Baja racing.

The SCORE Baja 500 was the first race produced by SCORE in Baja California, Mexico on July 26, 1974. The spotlight features looking at the golden anniversary of the SCORE Baja 500 in this issue are unique and colorful stories on SCORE Baja racing legends Parnelli Jones and Gustavo ‘Tavo’ Vildosola Jr. Jones, a former Indy 500 winner, was the overall winner of the Baja 500 in both 1970 and 1973. The other story recounts Vildosola’s journey to finally win the overall at the SCORE Baja 500 in 2016 to become a member of the exclusive SCORE Triple Crown of Baja group of champion racers who have all won the overall at the three traditional SCORE Baja races—the SCORE San Felipe 250, the SCORE Baja 500 and the SCORE Baja 1000.
