Baja California, Mexico (6/6/2011)
– The 43rd Annual SCORE Baja 500 was held
this past weekend on Mexico’s Baja peninsula,
and Brandon Brown's 100A team claimed the Class
24 and ATV overall win on a Honda TRX 450R. Wayne
Matlock's 1A Team added another win to the history
books with their 4 straight Class 25 win on the
Honda TRX 700XX
CLASS 24: BRANDON BROWN, No.
100A (First in class and first overall ATV to
finish. Brown shared riding duties with Jorie
Williams, Kenny Sanford, Chris Kristensen and
Ritchie Brown.) "We kind of struggled
through it all day. The locals dammed up one of
the creeks out there and Jorie Williams, our starter,
flooded the thing out. It has been popping and
crackling all day long and it won't run in the
mid-range. It never would really clean out and
it died about 10 times in the last five miles
on me. Luckily, it was starting every time so
everybody just gutted it out and took care of
it. I can't complain; if we didn't screw it up
somehow, this is our third in a row. I'm just
stoked to be the first quad in. Every time we
come down here the program is better, I manage
better, they work better, the bike is built better
and how that happens I just don't know. They're
awesome. The thing is borderline bullet proof
because it just ran for well over 400 miles borderline.
I’m just stoked to persevere through another
one. Hopefully we can come back and give them
a run again."
CLASS 25: WAYNE MATLOCK, No.
1A (First in class. Matlock started and shared
riding duties with Josh Caster and Wes Miller.)
"We've won four in a row now in Class 25.
We got the class win today but we didn't get the
overall. We always come here to get the overall
but we'll take the class win. You can't get them
all. We've got to go win the 1000 overall. Co-driver
Josh Caster said: It was going good and at the
bottom of the summit I had about a 10-minute lead
on the next quad and broke an upper ball joint.
I sat down at mile 20 for about 40 minutes until
I could get the satellite phone out and I realized
we had (a spare ball joint) in the front pack
and got it put back together and got going again.
I pushed all the way until we got back into the
front. I think Wayne (Matlock) took the lead back
coming up from Borrego to San Matias and then
we got on and started pulling away from there."
