In an another impressive display of power and poise, American Honda motorcycle teammates Steve Hengeveld, Johnny Campbell and Mike Childress, along with the Larry Roeseler/Troy Herbst duo, repeated as the overall motorcycle and 4-wheel victories late Friday and early Saturday to lead a near-record field of 342 starters in the 38th Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 desert race.

The granddaddy of all desert races, the flagship event of the world’s foremost desert racing series was a rugged 708.8-mile journey around the northern part of Baja California, starting and finishing in Ensenada, 60 miles south of San Diego on the Pacific Ocean side of the peninsula. It was the 31st time the fabled race started in Ensenada, and 18thth time it finished here.

The huge field from 31 U.S. States and 12 countries represented the second-largest field and largest since 346 started in the 1977 in the desert classic. They competed in 27 Pro and 5 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs.

Mexico tourism officials estimated enthusiastic crowds of over 200,000 spread out along the course that went across the peninsula to San Felipe and back again. The race started in front of the Riviera del Pacific Convention Center in Ensenada and finished for just the second time inside the Deportivo Antonio Palacios baseball stadium in Ensenada.

First to cross the finish line was the Honda XR650R of Hengeveld and Campbell, who methodically marched over the grueling course to an overall winning time of 14 hours, 20 minutes and 30 seconds. Hengeveld started and finished the race while Campbell and newcomer Childress rode in the middle sections of the course. The team average speed was 49.42 miles per hour.

While the American Honda teammates rode the fastest vehicle in the ever-demanding race, Troy Larry Roeseler and Troy Herbst in their Ford-powered Smithbuilt open-wheel desert racecar equipped with BFGoodrich Tires, led all four-wheel vehicles to the finish line, covering the challenging course in 15:06:19 while averaging 46.92mph). Celebrating its 30th year as a proven champion in SCORE Baja racing, BFG Tires have now been on the Overall 4-wheel champion vehicle in this race for 20 consecutive years.

For Hengeveld, Oak Hills, Calif., the victory was his sixth class win and his fifth overall, while Campbell, San Clemente, Calif., improved his record run in this desert classic to nine straight and for the talented rookie Childress, Wrightwood, Calif., earning his first in his first attempt on the Honda Factory A team. For Childress, the win was his second straight in the popular SCORE Desert Series as he won June’s 37th Tecate SCORE Baja 500 in Ensenada on a privateer Honda team with Mouse McCoy.

For Roeseler, Hesperia, Calif., it was his 14th class win and his 12th overall triumph in the world’s most famous desert race. For Troy Herbst, Las Vegas, it was his fourth win in the unlimited Class 1 in this historic race and his second overall title.

In the manufacturer’s battle of ‘beat the Baja’ research and development, Ford won it’s 11th overall 4-wheel crown, Honda earned it’s 16th overall motorcycle win, and BFG Tires captured an unprecedented 20th consecutive overall 4-wheel vehicle triumph and Smithbuilt chassis won for the second straight year.

While the unlimited Class 1 produced the overall 4-wheel champion for the fourth time in the last five years, the featured SCORE Trophy-Truck division for high-tech, 800 horsepower unlimited production trucks claimed seven of the top 10 overall finishing positions. SCORE Trophy-Trucks have claimed eight overall wins in this race in the division’s 12-year history.

Leading the SCORE record field of 30 starters in SCORE Trophy-Truck while finishing second overall with his first class win was Bob Shepard, Phoenix, and his teammate Rick Gesier, Desert Hills, Calif., in a Chevy CK1500.  Shepard, who withstood challenges by several other vehicles in the record starting grid, covered the difficult race route in 15:48:49, to win SCORE Trophy-Truck and finish two minutes, 30 seconds behind the Roeseler/Herbst tandem.

Displaying his newly-painted Monster Energy Drink-sponsored Chevy Silverado, Honolulu’s Alan Pflueger got his best finish of the season, finishing second in SCORE Trophy-Truck and third overall in 15:56:08.

Mark McMillin, El Cajon, Calif., and teammate Brian Ewalt, Bonita, Calif., outwitted everyone in a strong field of 26 unlimited desert race cars except Roeseler/Herbst, finishing fourth overall and second in Class 1 in a Jimco-Chevy in a time of 15:57:57.

Fifth overall and third in SCORE Trophy-Truck were Troy Herbst’s older brothers Tim and Ed, who bounced their way to a time of 16:00:35 in their Terrible Herbst Motorsports Ford F-150.

Sixth overall and was Damen Jefferies, Oak Hills, Calif., in a Porter-Chevy (16:05:01), and the final four top 10 finishers were all SCORE Trophy-Trucks.

Seventh was Chad Ragland, Phoenix, who had help from his father Larry Ragland, Cave Creek, Ariz. In their Chevy Silverado (16:08:06), followed by Mark Post, San Juan Capistrano, Calif./Curt LeDuc, Cherry Valley, Calif., in a Ford F-150 (16:17:02), Marty Coyne and his son Travis, El Centro, Calif., in a Ford F-150 (16:45:02) ad Garron Cadiente/Ron Whitton, Mesa, Ariz. In another Ford F-150 (16:47:35).

Also of note, Reno’s Rod Hall, who has race in all 38 SCORE Baja 1000 races, increased his lead as the winningest racer in the event’s history by winning Stock Mini in a new Hummer H3.  It was the venerable Hall’s 18th class win in the race.

As the course officially closed Saturday evening, the final results remain unofficial pending the standard review by SCORE officials and the report of the independent competition review board.
