Round 2 of six-race SCORE Desert Series features
Record field for March 11 race in MexicoLOS ANGELES—Celebrating a significant milestone of two decades as a staple of SCORE desert racing, next month’s 20th Annual Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 will include a record field of entries, including 20 past class winners in the top truck, car, motorcycle and ATV divisions. Round 2 of the six-race 2006 SCORE Desert Series, the World’s Foremost Desert Racing Series, will be held March 11 in the quaint fishing village of San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico.SCORE Trophy-Truck leads the way with eight of 12 former class winners in the starting grid in the featured SCORE racing division which debuted in 1994. The unlimited Class 1 has six former champions while Class 22 for open motorcycles has seven former winners and Class 25 for open ATVs has two former champs entered to date.As official course pre-running on the 240.34-mile course begins this Friday, over 300 entries are expected to compete in 24 Pro and 5 Sportsman classes. The green flag will drop at 6 a.m. on Saturday, March 11, for the motorcycle and ATV classes, followed by the car and truck classes two hours later at approximately 8:30 a.m. The start and finish line area for the extended loop, point-to-point course will once again be the landmark San Felipe arches on Highway 5 on the outskirts of San Felipe. All vehicles will have a 10-hour time limit in the elapsed time race and vehicles will start in 30-second intervals. San Felipe is located 120 miles South of the U.S. border at Calexico, Calif.This race actually has a split history since it was first held in 1982. After three consecutive years, the race was not held from 1985 through 1989, returning and running continuously since 1990. From 1985 through 1991, SCORE had a combined desert series with the old Las Vegas-based High Desert Racing Association and the schedule was too full during the first five years of the relationship to hold the San Felipe race. Last year’s race set the current race record of 269 starters. This year’s race is expected to establish a second consecutive record.“San Felipe has been an extremely gracious host for the SCORE racing family and we have many, many fond memories of the first two decades of this great event,” said Sal Fish, SCORE President/CEO who has been part of the organization since shortly after it was founded in 1973. “I honestly believe that many of the competitors are drawn to this race because of the incredible beauty of the course as well as the hospitality of the area. San Felipe, our little jewel on the Sea of Cortez, has some very nice hotels and motels. It also has more campgrounds than anywhere else SCORE races.”Leading the group of former SCORE Trophy-Truck San Felipe winners are Las Vegas brothers Ed and Tim Herbst, who have earned three wins during the last 10 years of this ‘Spring Break’ desert racing classic.The Herbst brothers, driving the No. 19 Terrible Herbst Motorsports Ford F-150 in the marquee SCORE Trophy-Truck division for hi-tech, 800-horsepower, unlimited production trucks, won three consecutive years in 1999, 2000 and 2001.

(1998 and 2004) and Larry Ragland, Cave Creek, Ariz. (1991 and 1995). The second overall win for both veteran drivers was in SCORE Trophy-Truck and this year both are teamed with former Overall Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 Overall and SCORE Trophy-Truck race winners. Post will have 1997 champion Curt LeDuc, Cherry Valley, Calif., splitting driving time in the No. 3 Riviera Racing Ford F-150 while Ragland will be the second driver for Las Vegas’ Brian Collins, who won in 1990, in the No. 12 Collins Motorsports Chevy Silverado.In 1998 Post won the overall and Class 1 title while Ragland won the overall and Class 8 in 1991.

Pflueger a Friend of San Felipe

Honolulu, Hawaii (February 8, 2006) – Alan Pflueger and his Monster Energy Pflueger Racing Team are looking forward to next month’s San Felipe 250. The native Hawaiian won the 2003 San Felipe 250 in the Pro Truck division and is confident that he and his team can re-visit the winner’s stand this year in his No. 28 Monster Energy Drink Chevrolet Silverado Trophy Truck. “We are ready to race,” Pflueger said. “This team has spent weeks preparing for this race, and we know what it takes to win it. We finished second in our class in the 2005 Baja 1000, and finished seventh in Laughlin. We are running well, but this team is hungry to return to the winner’s stand. They’ve given me the equipment, now we’ve got to go out and perform.”The 240-mile adventure will be run over a single-loop, desert course with a 10-hour time limit to complete the race. The race will start in San Felipe, Mexico, beginning on the Gulf of California side and heading north through the coastal desert before veering south through the desert and mountains. Racers then will dash east toward the coast before sprinting north to the finish at San Felipe. Thousands of spectators are expected to watch the race.“San Felipe is sandy, fast and intense, with rough terrain,” Pflueger said. “It really beats you up. It’s going to be a battle and you have to want to win.”Entering the race, Pflueger currently sits in seventh place in the points standings with 41, only 17 points behind leader B.J. Baldwin.Pflueger is one of the rising stars of SCORE International Off-Road Racing. During his first year of racing in 2002, Pflueger won the Primm 300 and the famous Baja 1000 on the Pro Truck series, finishing second in points and earning Rookie of the Year honors. He followed up his first year in racing by winning the Pro Truck Championship in 2003 with wins at the San Felipe 250, the Baja 500 and the Primm 300.Pflueger moved to the elite Trophy Class in 2004, winning the Baja 500 and the Primm 300, and finishing the 2004 season just shy of the championship. He finished 4th in the 2005 Primm 300 and was runner-up in last year’s Baja 1000.Born and raised in Hawaii, Pflueger, 38, is the President of the Pflueger Automotive Group. He resides in Honolulu with his wife, Eleni, and their two sons, Hunter and Max. Pflueger Racing is headquartered in Murrieta, Calif.
