SCORE's 40th Anniversary Tecate Baja 1000 Packed the Streets of Ensenada

Race Teams and Fans make their way thru the soaked streets of Ensenada at SCORE's Contingency & Tech Inspection

Ensenada, Baja, California – Nov. 12, 2007 – After southern storms soaked the streets of Ensenada over 400 racers, all vying for a chance to beat the Baja terrain this week, joined together for SCORE's 40th annual contingency and tech inspection. Dirtnewz staffers got a chance to catch up with some racers who all agreed that this year's race was going to be a battle to beat baja and not each other. Cameron Steele took time with Dirtnewz and told us that Loreto was a swamp after the huge storm that recently came thru, and that slower is faster for this years 40th Anniversary SCORE Baja 1000.

Some teams found ways to hide from the storms hanging overhead

Equipped with a Viper V10, Fox Shox and Mastercraft Seats this newly built Jimco Class 1 of John Harrah's Speed Technologies cruised the streets at contingency catching everyone's eye.

Wide Open Baja was busy this afternoon rolling 16 Baja Challenge Racecar's thru the long contingency line, it was Monster Madness surrounding every one of them including seven time national Supercross Champion, Jeremy McGrath. McGrath will get behind the wheel of the Monster Energy/ BFGoodrich/ Wide Open Baja Challenge Car seen above. Other crossover racers to compete in this years Baja 1000 will be Patrick Demsey, Erin Crocker, Tracy Jordan, Boris Said, Ken Block, Dave Mirra, and a vast field of newcomers to off road racing.
