It's OFFICIAL...Entries reach 400 For
38th Tecate SCORE Baja 500

Los Angeles, California (May 16, 2006)

Reaching an incredible new standard, SCORE International announced today that it officially has 400 entries for the first time in the history of the upcoming 38th Annual SCORE Baja 500, the world's second oldest desert race.

Round 3 of the six-race 2006 SCORE Desert Series, the World's Foremost Desert Racing Series, featuring a race-record of over 400 entries competing in 25 Pro and 5 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs, will be held June 2-4 in Ensenada, Mexico. Traditionally one of the most popular events on the SCORE schedule, over 150,000 spectators are expected to enjoy the world's best desert racers in action around the picturesque deserts, beaches and forests of Baja California at this year's Tecate SCORE Baja 500.

Entries have come from every state in the Western U.S., Hawaii, and Texas, from across the Midwest including South Dakota, Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri, Indiana and Wisconsin, as well as New York, Ohio and Massachusetts in the East and Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Mississippi, Florida and Alabama in the South.

"This is a remarkable milestone to achieve for a race that will be celebrating its 38th anniversary next month," said Sal Fish, SCORE President/CEO, who has been part of Los Angeles-based SCORE International since 1974. "It is a tribute to the dream Mickey Thompson had for SCORE in 1973 and to the vision we have expanded for over three decades. We will be making some spectacular history and having a major fiesta in Mexico next month."

A race-record total of 400 official entries have been received to date, an increase of 73 entries since the April 22 drawing for start positions.

As of today, the Pro classes with the most entries are: Class 1 (44), SCORE Trophy-Truck, with a class-record 40, SCORE Lite, with a class-record 32, Class 1-2/1600 (27) and Class 22 (15). Leading the Sportsman classes is SPT Motorcycles over 250cc with a class-record 49 for the relatively new class and SPT ATV with a class-record 23 all-terrain vehicles entered.

With late entries accepted up to race morning, the race-record total is expected to climb even further. So far, entries have come from 27 U.S. States, Mexico, Canada, Colombia, France, Japan and New Zealand to challenge the very technical and rugged 424.29-mile course. Pre-running, or repeated practice driving and riding the course began last Saturday and will continue up to the day before the race (Friday, June 2).
