[El Mamito USMC]

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 yet but it should be the last weekend of may or the first weekend of june. hope you can be there atleast on monday since we need to prerun and atleast prerun 2 -3 times each persons section,. probably ill take the first one so i can ve done with it and coordinate/supervise the chase....

AYER TUVE LA SUERTE DE SER INVITADO A FORMAR PARTE EN UNA JUNTA, A LO QUE ESTOY SEGURO SERA DE BASTANTE BENEFICIO PARA TODOS NOSOTROS AMANTES AL OFF ROAD Y EN ESPECIAL AL SERIAL DE CARRERAS SCORE.

ESTUVIMOS PRESENTES ROGER NORMAN OWNER OF SCORE INTERNATIONA, JAKE VELAZQUEZ TECHNICAL DIRECTOR, BOB BELL, TIM MORTON, RON WILSON, STEVE BOURGEOIS Y JUSTIN MORGAN, DONDE TRATAMOS BASTANTES PUNTOS REFERENTES A LAS MOTOS Y ATV'S EN SCORE. DE INICIO LA ATENCION PRESTADA POR LOS MIEMBROS DE SCORE FUE DE MUCHISIMO MEJOR DE LA ESPERADA, Y LES PUEDO DECIR QUE ELLOS ESTAN EN LA MEJOR DISPOSICION DE HACER CRECER ESTE DEPORTE.

NO PUEDO ADELANTARME A LO PLATICADO ANOCHE, PERO SE VIENEN CAMBIOS FAVORABLES Y SORPRESAS, LO QUE LES PUEDO DECIR ES LA ADICION DE LA CATEGORA PRO IRONMAN (PARA TODOS AQUELLOS QUE SIEMPRE TUVIMOS LA INQUIETUD DE CORRER SOLOS, Y HABIA QUE INVADIR OTRA CLASE!!)

COMO DIGO QUISIERA PERO NO PUEDO ADELANTAR MAS!!

ESPEREN NOTICIAS IMPORTANTES Y PEOXIMOS CAMBIOS QUE REPITO SE QUE LO VAMOS A GOZAR TODOS, DESDE CORREDORES COMO EXPECTADORES!! :score:

[CJM]

i think you forgot to translate it lol...i did it for you using google..

 

YESTERDAY I HAD THE LUCK OF BEING INVITED TO JOIN A MEETING, TO WHAT WILL BE PRETTY SURE WE ALL BENEFIT FOR LOVERS TO OFF ROAD AND RACE SPECIAL TO SERIAL SCORE.

NORMAN ROGER WERE PRESENT OWNER OF INTERNATIONA SCORE, JAKE VELAZQUEZ TECHNICAL DIRECTOR, BOB BELL, TIM MORTON, RON WILSON, STEVE JUSTIN MORGAN BOURGEOIS AND WHERE WE TRY ENOUGH POINTS CONCERNING AND ATV'S MOTORCYCLES IN SCORE. HOME CARE PROVIDED BY MEMBERS OF A LOT BETTER SCORE WAS THE EXPECTED, AND I CAN SAY THAT THEY ARE IN THE BEST AVAILABLE TO GROW THIS SPORT.

I CAN NOT get ahead of the previous discussion, LAST NIGHT, BUT CHANGES ARE FAVORABLE AND SURPRISES COME, WHAT I CAN SAY IS THE ADDITION OF THE IRONMAN PRO category (FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAD ALWAYS RUNNING CONCERN ALONE, AND HAD TO INVADE ANOTHER CLASS! )

HOW WOULD SAY MORE BUT I CAN FORWARD!

IMPORTANT NEWS PEOXIMOS EXPECT CHANGES AND I REPEAT IS THAT WE WILL HAVE ALL FROM BROKERS AS viewers! : score:

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.

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.

[El Mamito USMC]

Hey guys another member from the org says that he's really interested and I don't want to remove anyone from here from the list but if you guys aren't sure that you can make it maybe you would like to "give your spot" to this guy and you guys can still tag along as support and chase crew..

 

Let me know guys...

 

His name is Bill aka Vasillos

[Vasilios]

I made it to the page, I've read all of it, and car pooling would be a great idea, I live in north east pa aka coal country. El mamito usmc, I'm down for some fun as long as I can get a spot I can afford to take a week to ten days off from work no problem and the money is not an issue either.

Welcome to the HQ

[Vasilios]

You got it I don't want to bump anybody but at the same time this is a once in a lifetime opportunity , so for me it's shit or get off the pot, and the wife is all for it so that means go baby go

[Vasilios]

I wanna get the bike cleaned up and shoot you some pics of my never ending work in progress

[Vasilios]

My only issue is the twist throttle, I really don't care for them but sacrifices can be made.

[mawest]

Sorry for the delayed response. I have been helping out with the Motocross race in Salt Lake City. I am still in 100%!!! Welcome to the team Vasilios! We're glad to have you and hope you continue with the excitement. I am with you when you said "your only issue is the twist throttle". But, why let that be an issue or stop us from going.

 

Mamito, Here is an idea... Maybe you should have those that are serious about racing on the team put some $$ down. That way you know they are serious about going if they are willing to deposit 100, 200 or even 300 $$. By now those that are REALLY wanting to come should have saved a little.

 

Just a thought. What do you think??

i think its a great idea. on the first post i posted the paypal email for the deposit..

 

please send it as gift so we dont lose anything over in fees.

[El Mamito USMC]

Ok guys a couple of questions:

 

1-Team shirts- I use Immortal Atv shirt as my team shirt and I put my logoon it, like pictured here.

Ill be including all the names of the riders and chase crew on the back. Similar to what I did on the Baja 1000, 2011.

 

DO YOU GUYS LIKE THE IDEA??

 

2- teams name- we could use my teams name: Zorros Racing, I got logo and stickers of it, so we can pass them around (its like autographs but in the offroad world)

 

Do you guys like to use the name?

 

Thanks..

[Vasilios]

I'm cool with the shirts whatever you want to do. By the way a full axis shock setup should be here by next week. If you could pm me about the PayPal account thing that would be great ill throw some coin at it. I can't stop thinking about it. I have my sister setting up a workout plan for me, she is a personal trainer.

[Vasilios]

What tooth sprokets are you guys running on your bikes. I like the stock setup but I feel like I need more top end. Let me know Elmamito I'm trying to get the quad as close to what your running as I can so it has about the same feel

Were running 14/37 with an later HRC cam.

 

And as for the paypal. its on the first post the email for it.

You can send what's ever amount you want but NO more than 1200. Since that's the max(as of rigth now) that each person must put for this..

[mawest]

I think the shirts look great.

 

Bill, Have you looked into doing Insanity?? That's what I have been doing. Plus I throw in some jump roping, biking, running or swimming. I have been doing in for almost a month now and have noticed a big difference.
