– Brandon Brown, Umatilla, Ore., led hist
team to the Overall ATV and his third SCORE Class
24 victory in the last four SCORE Baja races on
a Honda TRX450R. Brown, the reigning SCORE Overall
ATV and Class 24 season point champion, split the
riding time fairly equally with co-riders Jorie
Williams, Longview, Wash./Kenny Sanford, Tacoma,
Wash./Robbie Mitchell, Price, Utah. They covered
the course in 6:17:13, averaging 40.10mph to defeat
a field of 27 Pro ATVs that started the race.
Earning the overall motorcycle victory for the
second straight year was the Johnny Campbell Racing
team of Colton Udall/Jeff Kargola of San Clemente,
Calif. They divided up the riding on the JCR/Honda
CRF450X to a winning time of 4:36:51, averaging
54.63 mph over the brutally-tough course.

and Steve Hengeveld, Oak Hills, Calif., finished
second overall among motorcycles and in Class
22, a total of 21 minutes, 19 seconds behind the
winning Udall/Kargola JCR/Honda team.

Cafro, Bonsall, Calif., on a Honda TRX450R. It
was Cafro’s third career class win in this
race.

Fierro, Tijuana, Mexico (SPT M/C 450cc>, Honda
CRF450X), Nick Tonelli, Huntington Beach, Calif.
(SPT Truck, Ford Ranger) and Ivan Espinoza, Mexicali,
Mexico (SPT ATV, Honda TRX450R).
CLASS 25 Pro ATV Winner
MIKE CAFRO, No. 12a
(First in class and second ATV to finish. Cafro
started and rode to mile 30, Levi Marana rode
from mile 30 to mile 90, Beau Baron rode from
mile 90 to mile 177 and Cafro rode from mile 177
to the finish.) – “Things went
pretty slow at first; we had some catching up
to do. We didn’t pre-run this race so we
were kind of in the dark with everything. And
then, right over there (by the start/finish line),
the bike basically started to blow up. I stalled
it, got some people to push me and it fired back
up and I rode it in just behind the 9a, but enough
time to get the win. That was the only problem
I had. (The engine) is gone right now.”
CLASS 24 Pro ATV Winner
BRANDON BROWN, No. 100a (First
in class and first ATV to finish. Brown shared
riding duties with Jorie Williams, Kenny Sanford
and Robbie Mitchell.) – Co-ride Jorie Williams
said: “The bike was flawless all day.
I think we’re even on the same tires we
started the race with. Everybody rode smart and
we made it to the finish – you can’t
ask for much more than that.”
