42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500 desert race drawing

Launching pre-race festivities, a special ‘live’ drawing for start positions for June’s 42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500 desert race will be held on Saturday, April 24, at the new MasterCraft Safety facility in Santee, Calif. Being hosted by Robbie Pierce’s MasterCraft Racing, the event will also include a charity raffle, several SCORE race vehicles, racer appearances, ‘Fighting Cancer with Tacos’ charity, music and vendor displays from several of the leading companies in the industry.
Round 3 of the five-race 2010 SCORE Desert Series, the World’s Foremost Desert Racing Series, will feature over 300 entries, competing in 28 Pro and 7 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs, will be held June 3-6 in Ensenada, Mexico. Traditionally one of the most popular events on the SCORE schedule, over 100,000 spectators are expected to enjoy the world’s best desert racers in action at this year’s Tecate SCORE Baja 500.
Conducting the drawing will be SCORE International CEO/President Sal Fish, in his fourth decade leading the world’s foremost desert racing organization. SCORE was founded in 1973 by the late motorsports legend Mickey Thompson and Fish was quickly lured away from his position as publisher of noted Hot Rod Magazine to run the pioneering company.
“It’s always a lot of fun to get together with our SCORE racing family away from the pressure and tension of race weekend and it’s a great change of pace to have a live drawing for start positions instead of the regular computerized drawing we normally have,” said Fish, who began his SCORE career in 1974. “We sincerely appreciate Robbie Pierce and his MasterCraft Safety welcoming us and also the effort by MasterCraft Racing to put together another memorable event for SCORE.”
The festivities will start with Taco bar along with vehicle and vendor displays at 11 a.m. and the live drawing will start at 1 p.m. at MasterCraft Safety’s new complex, located at 9335 Stevens Road in Santee, California. The relocation moves the company’s operations from the previous facility on the west side of the 67 Freeway to a newly purchased and renovated facility located just east of the 67 Freeway and north of Woodside Avenue in Santee.
“MasterCraft Safety is extremely grateful to be able to continue to support the SCORE Desert Series,” said Robbie Pierce, MasterCraft CEO who also drives one of three MasterCraft Racing Chevy Silverado race trucks in the marquee SCORE Trophy-Truck division. “We are honored to host our fellow competitors and industry friends at the drawing party for the 42nd running of the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 and look forward to showcasing our new corporate facility and nearby off-road businesses like Jimco Racing, Fox Shox, AlumiCraft, Racer X, and Stewart Race Works.”
