2006 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 $10,000 Payout!!

Presented by MotorBaja.com and Desert Rat Off Road Centers
DIRTsports Magazine, UPR.com and AEM are putting up a $10,000 contingency cash payout for Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 competitors. 2006 marks the third year of the pay out program. This year participants will be given the opportunity to donate some or all of their payout to the El Oasis Orphanage in Valle Trinidad.

Here’s how it works:

DIRTsports, UPR.com and AEM designed this contingency program to reward as many racers as possible with hard cash at the finish line! The 2005 payout went deep into the field of finishers; all classes have a chance to win!
DIRTsports, UPR and AEM pay $1000.00 to registered cars and trucks for 1st through 5th, 10th, 15th 20th, 25th and 30th overall finishing position with no time correction. What this means is that you are scored as you physically cross the finish line, so your race finishing position can be different from the contingency finishing position. If a vehicle isn’t registered, the money will roll to the next finisher. For example, if the 1st overall does not qualify, the next finisher that does qualify will get the money. The money is paid back until the funds are exhausted.
To qualify:
• Any car or truck is eligible and can register by phone with UPR (866-457-5872), online at www.upr.com, or during contingency and tech before the race starts.
• The vehicle must have TWO (2) DIRTsports Magazine decals, TWO (2) UPR decals and TWO (2) AEM decals visible on the side of the vehicle when the race starts. Desert Rat Off Road Centers and MotorBaja.com decals will also be distributed (placement is recommended but not required).
• Participating vehicles must finish with at least one of the required decals visible. UPR, DIRTsports and AEM staff will identify winners at the end of the race and will present them with a mock check at the finish line for publicity photos.
• Prize money is distributed in cash or check at the awards banquet following the race.

Here is what past participants have to say:
