Zorros Racing taking on the Tecate Score Baja 500, 2014

[El Mamito USMC]

ok guys i need some back ground of us and some riding skills resume.. and WEIGTH... to see how to set up the shocks...

ill be 180 to ill valve them for 190lbs..

and give me som info about you...

as for me , im in the military, my wife is from Baja so i hang out there as much as i can and i do some desert races here and there and so far just 2 in Baja. i race in Rosarito, like the Speed Eneergy 200 last year and now the Kuervoz 200 in the newer track, check it out on the HQ..

ill be 35 when we do this. but i do try to keep in a somewhat shape, LOL

.

I am 30 now so 31 when we race. I have been racing the USRA and NHHA mostly in Utah. I live in Mesquite, Nevada which is 100 miles North ( on I-15) of Las Vegas. Pretty small town. I am a pharmacy Technician and Smith's Pharmacy. My wife is the finance manager at a golf course here in Mesquite. I have 2 kids. 2 1/2 year old boy and 4 month little girl.I have always dreamed of racing and around Christmas time I told my wife that I was going to start doing. I made some necessary changes to my bike and started. So far I have taken first in my class at each race. I started out in novice and moved to amateur. The longest race I have done is 100 miles (a few weeks ago). It's everything I wanted it to be and more. I hope to continue doing for quite a few more years.

That's a little bit about my self. I look forward to making this happen!!!

Well, I'm 19 right now, will be almost 21 when we go to the race. At the moment im in a 6 week EMT course and it looks like ill be passing and getting my license. Im also in college classes to become a Firefighter, either before or directly after the race ill be joining a Fire Academy to get my FireFighter 1 license as well.
I have never really raced (a couple local MX shootouts is all, but never toured), I ride the practice track at the local MX track weekly, am on a diet to get in shape and am starting to work out to get back down to where I want to be (preferably around 200). I've been riding since I was about 4, rode a quad before I rode a pedal bike, crashed my first quad when I was 6. I'm currently unemployed but I do small jobs on the side and live with my parents. Hopefully once this EMT school is finished Ill get a decent paying job and be able to start working the quad angle more.

Speaking of the Quad, its a 05 Honda 450 (Ride red right?), completely stock save for a rejetted carb, full pipe, and some nerf bars and bark busters. Im not too sure how well my bike would do as a practice bike except for training me on my section (if I were to race).

Other than that, my name is Trevor, im 6'3" (if you need that for setting up the bike) and weight approx 200-225lbs. My phone number: 916-932-3970

I am 190-195 lbs

 

[El Mamito USMC]

Uhhh' date=' I only know how to cuss people out in Spanish...which as it turns out is a necessary skill when you work in construction.[/quote'] jajaja that will work...

hahahah The only Spanish I know will get me in trouble. I am hoping that some one around will know enough English to help me out.

they do... remember they see us all the time...

ok talking to another member from RDC he stated that we migth need a lil more over 1K per rider. so i guessing no more than 1.3 or 1.5 per rider.

this a basic brake down:

this are the prices for the 2013 Baja 500. so ill be close to the 2014..

Score entry fee- $1620

http://score-international.com/2013-baja-500-entry-fee-and-class-level/

Baja Pits fee- 549+50 membership= $600

http://score-international.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2013-500-app-FILLABLE-sport-1.0.pdf

IRC transponder- 100

Hotel- 800-900 since ill be atleast 7-9 days.. if we reserve with time ill be better.

gas- ????

food- ????

this what baja pits will do for us.. they set up in multiple places on the track and offer full service..

 

[El Mamito USMC]

So is it 1600 for the whole team? Gas for me would be about 400ish, food would probably be half that.
So its safe to say its 2k to do it? Not bad, ill sell a few things if I need to.

uff sorry to brake this to you but its 1.3-1.5K PER RIDER , in the post that i put the map. theres a basic brakedown of the things we need to cover... that why im setting this with a entire year ahead so we can save 100 a month and not anger the wives..

Also, is there any way we could get some specs for the quad we will be racing? A full parts list would be awesome if you have one.
Also, I just realized that you are in New Mexico (not North Minnesota...its late ok). You said you are gonna run down the 5 to get there right?

yes im in NM. and ill be taking I-10 to Casa Grande,AZ and then the I-8 to Tecate and then cross the border and hit Ensenada..

as for the specs of the quad, in my first post i put a link to my build.

and new, like this week i have brand new CP piston, crank, berings, cylinder,CRF 450r clucth with CR500 springs.. and for the time of the race ill have brand new valves, and clucth basket..

as specs i have: Venom head, HRC cam, carb by Sredrum, Dasa exhaust, Boyesen water pump, some carb acelerator(cant remember but you can see the pic in my build thread), renthal sprockets, full skid plates, DID chain, Axis suspension in the front with LSR DC-4 arms, rear shock revalve and modified by www.dirtworksmotorsports.com and thier rear longtravel link. LSR +4 axle, FCI intake, led bars by BAJA LEDS, Team Alba oil cooler,

texeira tech stem and clamps, its TWIST THROTTLE, quadtech seat,

i think that its..

 

[mawest]

Couple questions...

How are we going to get out to our area to pre-run? and then back to town?

The day of the race how are we going to get out to our spot?

ok. we are going to have 2 chase trucks. mine and one from you guys or the NE guys.. plus 1-2 from my Baja friends.. but we jump in our trucks and go to the area, i can prerun the day before if needed but the idea is to you guys know where to go to wait for me to do the change..

mine got a radio on it to comunicate with the riders , so ill be the main chase truck . but ill probably do the first section of the race and then follow and keep in touch with all of you guys and ensure everything flows smooth..

 

[El Mamito USMC]

it should... but it needs to be snell 2010.. so to be honest i think it should say it somewhere..

 

[El Mamito USMC]

ok guys heres a very good question: mawest ask me why we need www.bajapits.com support and what would the diference from us having multiple chase trucks???

what hotel we migth stay in? i like Hotel Cortez from the www.bajainn.com group.. same hotel that GT team stays in..

answer: Baja Pits offers services that we dont have, like gas, welding , water, plus they are set up in multiple remote areas that ill be hard for the chase truck to reach or ill take a lot of time.

in our chase trucks were going to have spare parts, the upcoming rider, spare tires, radio to talk to the riders or support personnel(weatherman, baja pits, rider, Mag 7 pits, ECT...) cooler full of water, sandwiches, beer (for the riders that already did their part), and shade for while we wait for our quad..

any other questions guys post them here and ill answer..

 

[mawest]

Do you have the dates of when we will be down there?? (yes I am going to request them off already) lol

If most of you guys go down on... say a Monday, but I am not able to make it till Wednesday, is that going to be a problem?

I should be able to be there the entire time but I don't get paid leave at work.

Not really, but its prefered....

There was a meeting between SCORE and others about bikes and ATV's. Outcome was good. That's about all it says, oh, and there is going to be an Ironman Pro class. So in other words, you won't really know anything until they actually discuss what was said and agreed upon during the meeting. I don't really read anything to get excited about...yet.
Doug

You are correct , but I got a lil more inside info... thanks for sharing your info..

As promised, here is a snapshot of what to expect at the 2013 Baja 1000 and 2014 Score race season.

2013 Baja 1000:

-900-950 miles. New stuff, diverse stuff. Score being innovative like SF 250 and Baja 500. Registration details to be announced on Aug 1st.

-Motos/ATVs will start race night before, creating an 8 hr gap between bikes and Trophy Trucks. Pro bikes and quads will qualify for starting positions at a location outside Ensenada 1-2 days before the race. Best qualifying times dictate starting order, regardless of class. Rider who races qualifying round MUST start race for that particular team. Pro non-qualifiers and Sportsman entries will start based upon their order of entry form submission to Score. Safeguards being implemented to ensure safety.

-A Pro Ironman class will be introduced and continue through 2014. A purse-paying Pro class for solo riders.

-Sportsman "short-cut(s)," if determined necessary, will be announced when the course becomes official. Slow bike/quad "time-outs" also being figured.

-New tracking/recording device to be introduced. Live public display, finer granularity. More VCP's and stricter controls near private property. Official results much quicker.

2014 Score Race Season:

-Class 20, 24, and Sportsman Under will be eliminated.

-Class 22 will be 401cc motos and above.

-Class 21 will be 400cc motos and below as delivered by manufacturer.

-Class 25 will be any cc ATV.

-Sportsman Moto will be any cc moto.

-Sportsman ATV will be any cc ATV.

-Pro Ironman will be a solo rider on any cc moto.

-Discussions ongoing on 2014 Score series composition, including expansion to one U.S. race.

This is the plan, obviously things may change between Score and Mexican authorities. Specific details of the changes are being worked but safety and improving the competition and exposure of the sport is paramount. Each of the changes were debated and scrubbed before a decision was made. Baja vet Ron Wilson is the conduit for input to Score leadership and is moving out smartly. If you're not 100 pct behind the changes, give Roger a chance and support him - he is truly on our side and wants to see bikes/ATVs flourish.
