Baja 1000: Tecate Score Baja 1000
built 656 days ago
Troy Herbst wanted to win the 38th Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. So much so that he withdrew his vehicle (No. 118) this week in order to get a better starting position (No. 105) with teammate with Larry Roeseler, forgoing any chance he had for the season point championship, as he was fifth in a tight contest entering the race. Last year the duo won this race with the second-highest average speed in race history (62.167 mph), while this year they were again the fastest four-wheeled vehicle.
Thanks to a recently announced corporate partnership, Wide Open Adventures has teamed up with Guardian Mobility, Globalstar, Spirit Wireless and Waypoint Information Technology to offer the first real-time tracking of the historic Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 available to the public.
