B.J.Baldwin

or how to get ballistic:)It all started with Ivan “Ironman” Stewart’s “Super Off Road” video game. Then the NBC broadcast coverage of the longest North American off-road race, the Baja 1000. When a family friend named Michael Gaughn took BJ for a ride in a VW-powered two-seater Chenowith, he was absolutely hooked. “I remember thinking how awesome that car was. It was the coolest thing I had ever done. I couldn’t believe the stuff it was capable of. I wanted to start racing immediately,” said BJ. After watching the Chenowith Terrible’s 250 his sister Staci bought him the car. He entered the SCORE championship race series and placed 6th at the SCORE Primm race that year, and later won the “Baja in Havasu” race. More here…

Mark Post

Racing at speed across the desert floor, testing the ultimate endurance of man and machine versus the harsh environment that covers the earth is not for the timid at heart. In fact, off road desert racing spares no mercy on anyone, regardless of who you are. Mark Post experienced the first taste of high-speed adrenaline in 1990 and only a short time later, he put his race team, Riviera Racing, in victory lane after laboring through the challenging 1997 SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge. Not only did Riviera Racing claim the SCORE Class 1 Title, but they claimed their first overall championship win. Post and his Riviera Racing team were hungry for their next win. More here…
