MasterCraft Safety’s role as sponsor of the 2010 MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 goes far deeper than a mere title. “Racers in every class from SCORE Trophy-Trucks to Class 11 cars rely on our products, and we are extremely grateful for that.” explained MasterCraft Safety CEO, Robbie Pierce. Recognizing that actions speak louder than words, Pierce is offering a whopping $10,000 in contingency money for the 2010 SCORE San Felipe 250. Any competitor utilizing at least one of the following MasterCraft Safety components is eligible to win, providing they run a 16 inch minimum size decal above the mudline on both sides of their race vehicle.
- MasterCraft Safety suspension seats
- MasterCraft Safety restraints
- MasterCraft Safety driving suits
MasterCraft Safety recently expanded their product offering, making it easier than ever to qualify for contingency money. New products include a full-line of performance driving suits, fuel and pit crew fire suits, neck braces, helmet skirts, and elbow and knee pads for pit crew safety. Available in SFI 3.2A/1 and SFI 3.2A/5, the performance driving suits meet and exceed all stated fire protection requirements while providing a comfortable fit and design. Optional hidden-pockets and sewn-in elbow and knee pads make this the first race suit specifically tailored to the unique environmental conditions of desert racing.
For those looking to replace or purchase new safety equipment, the lucrative contingency package offered by Mastercraft Safety makes the decision an easy one. Payouts for class wins are as follows:
- $5000 to first place in the SCORE Trophy-Truck Class
- $2000 to first place for the Class 1's
- $1000 to first place for the 1/2 – 1600
- $1000 to first place SCORE Lite (12)
- $1000 to first place Class 10
All remaining class winners will receive a set of new MasterCraft Safety restraints and the only requirement will be to run a MasterCraft Safety decal at least 16 inches in size above mudline on both sides of their vehicle. MasterCraft Safety decals will be available from the MasterCraft Safety Contingency Booth for those competitors who do not already have the required signage to qualify for contingency on their race vehicles.
The event will be held this year on March 12-14 in San Felipe, the picturesque fishing village located along the Sea of Cortez on the Northeastern side of Mexico’s majestic Baja California peninsula. “It is a wonderful match to be able to have MasterCraft Safety join with SCORE to help enhance the dynamic experience that already surrounds this legendary SCORE Baja race,” said SCORE president Sal Fish. The pre-race Manufacturer’s Midway and tech inspection of the vehicles in the race will be held on Friday, March 12 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the picturesque Malecon. Those concerned about having to contend with the three Mastercraft Safety SCORE Trophy-Trucks slated to compete in San Felipe need not fret. While the three trucks are a threat for the overall win, should one of the Mastercraft trucks prevail in the SCORE Trophy-Truck class, the contingency money will be split evenly amongst the four other classes.
