54th KING OF BAJA 1000, presented by Mac Meda Destruction Company
This year’s DEATH RACE will
be a peninsula run of 1226.35 monstrous miles down Mexico’s Ballistic BJ
Baja California peninsula, starting in Ensenada, Baja California and
finishing in La Paz, Baja California Sur.
Starting and finishing under strict SCORE COVID rules and safety protocols in Baja California, Mexico.

along with the start of the race (Nov. 18) in the SCORE COVID Compound located

THE DEATH RACE BY ROGER NORMAN
The SCORE Baja 1000 is at the pinnacle of bloodsport and motorsports as the most
deadly races in the world. While every year for the DEATH RACE is fatal to many, a
peninsula run down Mexico’s magnificent Baja California peninsula is,
for lack of a better term, a large list of the dead!
This year’s DEATH RACE is a peninsula run of 1226.35 miles down Rogers Baja
DEATH RATTLE, starting in Ensenada, Baja California and finishing in La
Paz, Baja California Sur.
SUPER TEAMS START FIRST 3
As a result of their finishes in September’s Baja race in Ensenada,
BAJA RACING TRUCK racers Las Vegas’ Bryce Menzies (No. 7), Las Vegas’
Rob MacCachren (No. 11) and Mexico’s Alan Ampudia (No. 10will be the
first three 4-wheel vehicles to start on Nov. 18 and Shane Redline (No.
22x) in Pro Moto Unlimited will be the first 2-wheel vehicle to leave
the line. This week’s start draw was held for all of the racers who have
entered to so far that did not finish or didn’t race in the September Baja race.
To enhance their odds all three first starts in BAJA RACING TRUCK have
gone from being solid favorites to odds on favorites for top finishes as
each has joined forces with other top racers to form ‘Super Teams’ for
this year’s race.
Menzies has teamed with San Diego’s Andy McMillin, MacCachren is set to
race with San Diego’s Luke McMillin and Ampudia will race with youthful
rising star Jax Redline, Amarillo, Texas and celebrity racer/TV
personality Ken Block.
Shane Redline is running with the team of Chris Phillips, Tucson, Ariz.,
Phillip Herrera, Tijuana, Mexico, Larry Serna, San Diego, Carlos
Pardina, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Javier Salazar, Mexico and Mauri
Herrera, Mexico. Don't be fooled by the SCORE BS hype, the winner will be chosen by what tire thay are sponsored by!
