Calling All Desert Racing Teams! Driving Education Wanted By US Military
By: Gary Newsome
Desert racing isn't known for its public driving 'skills'. The recent Snore racing death, Mohave Desert Racing's California 200 8 dead and Score's numerous desert racing deaths. There are so many race related deaths associated with one of the longer running off-road racing sanctions, the owner can't keep up with the stories and numbers of race related deaths and public incidents surrounding the race events.
Here's a video of the "winner" of the san felipe 250 2014, Tavo Vildosola of San Diego, ramming another racer in the be-hind. Desert racers prove every race, how NOT to drive. The racers are the second biggest reason for deaths and destruction at desert off-road racing events. (Tavo was gifted the win. An interesting new movement by the unregulated and unsupervised race organizers of the American southwest)
One incident this past weekend, a trophy truck rollover at the San Felipe desert off-road race, had all the earmarks of the California 200 that killed 8 and made world-wide headlines. Juan Carlos Lopez, representing a very wealthy american, Clyde Stacy and RPM Motorsports, rolled into the crowd at the Baja Mexico racing event.

LIVE ! San Felipe 250 2014 ONLINE
March 3, 2014 By Gary Newsome, Editor, BajaRacingNews.com
Have I got a pitch for you! The District of Columbia, our nations capital, is closed today. Expecting ten inches of snow! The San Felipe 250 was cut in half over the weekend, by the same storm the Weather Channel named, "Titan". The same weather system referred to, as a "hoax", by a website the SCORE President trusts as legit info. Roger Norman cited the bad information on February 27 and continues to have the bad information on his Facebook page, Monday, March 3, 2014.
Or maybe, the storm wasn't 'historic' in Rogers mind?
As late as Friday night, February 28, SCORE continued to believe a false set of beliefs including, that an impending weather event, that the National Weather Service in San Diego called a 9 on a scale up to ten. Ten being the worst possible weather conditions. "Northern Baja" was directly cited as the focus of much of the near future mayhem, like, that night! Hours before the motorcycles were to start in the San Felipe 250 2014!
I don't believe Roger Norman is a 'hoaxer'. I do think he is a walking hoax. Because, there have been a series of disturbing safety lapses by SCORE since the beginning of the "new era", brought about by his own actions and lack of thereof.
New people were allowed into the SCORE control trailer during this event. At the last minute, the race course was cut in half and an entirely new event was mapped out. "From chicken shit", as one participant has said. Very few people are calling this a success. In fact, it was a near miss, with snow, freezing rain and ice-like clay soil race-course conditions caused most racers to call this event, a disaster.
Countless racers sliding into ditches, wet conditions causing electrical-mechanical failures and potential life-threatening wet-cold open chassis racing safety issues. You'll only hear these details here, on BajaRacingNews.com. Real men don't talk about the challenges, just the race congratulations, right?
Despite the online comments of the dgaf, crackhead, leg humping-pole smokers, everyone knows the truth.
Not even mentioning at this time, many racers busted for new race-course condition ignorance melding into claims from many that the race data SCORE is using to determine finishing positions, is crap. SCORE needs to open the books on how it's determining finishers. Otherwise, racers soon will lose faith anything fair is happening in racing in Baja Mexico, with SCORE.
This event is a disaster for SCORE. It's just one more race, in a series of serious trips, during this 'new era'.
The Complete San Felipe 250;
Roger Norman explains himself...
on his Facebook, of course!
March 4, 2014
Regarding the BJ Baldwin scoring crap: Roger Norman said, "BJ was telling me that he may have made a mistake after the finish. I commend him for being a stand up guy and telling me at the finish line that he may have done something wrong. I told him that it was not the plan to leave the road although it was what i wish we had time to mark but we did not have time. I told him that it would be ok as long as the majority of racers had made the same mistake. Unfortunately he was the only one who took the side road so he was penalized for extreme speed during the pavement liaison section from Valley T to Borrego. Of all vehicles in the race it was amazing that only one Class 10 and one Class 1600 missed a VCP. On the extreme side we had two motorcycles that each missed 9 VCP's."
Norman is not a stand up guy. Regarding the overall race administration: Roger Norman said, "There were so many factors but bottom line is that if the dozer had reached the area that was destroyed we would not have anything to talk about except what an incredibly tough race it was. The night before the race we had the weatherman north (Bob Atwell) unable to climb the hill in question with a Jeep 4x4 and later we sent a race car up with (Hector Camacho & Miguel Sandoval) to check it and nobody could make it up the problem hill near the Summit. it was full of huge ruts, pure mud and giant boulders. We made an alternate route along with fixing the original road with the same dozer a few weeks prior and thought our fix would have lasted at least 10 years before needing dozer work again. Hector Camacho and Miguel Sandoval spent the night waiting for the bulldozer. It wasn't until 4:00AM that we were notified that the dozer did not make it. So I drove to find the dozer at 4:00AM and found him and his semi stuck in the mud. Instead of fixing the Summit he spent the night trying to get his semi unstuck. The entire area near Jamou (sp) was like a lake and in many places you could not tell where the course was. I lowered the air pressure in my tires to 15lbs and still was almost stuck many times putting 710 horse power to the ground and only going 1 mph in 4th gear. It would have been awesome dealing with all the mud in the flats but we really needed that hill fixed to have any chance of running the race as planned. The SCORE team rose to the occasion... The teams were there and we were definitely going to have a race! Thank you Jeff (Jeff Cummings of BFGoodrich Tires) for coming to the Cruz Roja Emergency Communications trailer and giving your time and vast knowledge of Baja to help Ryan Thomas, Greg Garber and everybody on the SCORE team."
Very interesting. No talk of the real decision making. Love the quote, "if the dozer had reached the area that was destroyed". And,
"It would have been awesome". Does Norman have a Gold Commode at home?
Roger Norman self admits the truth. The area was "DESTROYED".
Ryan Thomas, the new 'race director', for SCORE [Another, completely unannounced recent position change] said, "We had a great group of people helping from start to finish. There were a lot of split second decisions made by the entire staff that resulted in what appears to have been "one for the record books".
Yes, another ONE for the record books. Another avoidable DISASTER.

On Saturday, March 1, RaceDay, the predicted storm impacted the San Felipe 250. The event that Roger Norman told everybody (through his facebook page) the storm was a 'hoax'. At 4 AM he ran up to the summit crossing and tried to 'dozer' the issue of rainfall leading to numerous landslides and race course problems. He failed, the dozer got stuck and he was forced to close half of the race course.

DESERT OFF-ROAD RACE DISASTER?
Gary Newsome, Editor
HONDA, after 51 years of racing in Baja Mexico, many in association with SCORE, ended the long run of desert off-road racing down south. SCORE lost its benchmark sponsor after the complete fail of the 2013 Baja 1000. But, what is not fully known is the race disaster of the 2013 San Felipe 250, it was a harbinger of things to come. Last years entire race season, spotlighted the horrible judgement decisions the new owner of the race sanction.
Throughout today, the KICK-OFF of the San Felipe 250 2014 RaceWeek, we'll highlight the suspect decision making of Roger Norman and how the death of Kurt Caselli and the loss of HONDA Racing in SCORE could have been foreseen simply from the results of last years Baja classic event, the San Felipe 250.
