RENO, Nev.—As a prelude to the iconic 48th annual Bud Light SCORE Baja 1000 desert race, 27 of the world’s top racers are heading to Las Vegas for the Bud Light SCORE Baja 1000 Qualifying, presented by BFGoodrich Tires. It will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3, on a special 3.6-mile track at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
A total of 23 of the 27 SCORE Trophy Trucks entered in the race and four of the 13 Class 1 open-wheel race cars have confirmed participation in the optional qualifying for starting positions within their respective classes. The race, which will have an approximate 840-mile course, will traverse Baja California Norte on Mexico’s majestic Baja California peninsula, starting and finishing in Ensenada, on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The race and surrounding festivities of the final round of the five-race 2015 SCORE World Desert Championship will be held Nov. 18-22.
The Bud Light SCORE Baja 1000 Qualifying, presented by BFGoodrich Tires is part of the massive celebratory SEMA SCORE Baja 1000 Experience, presented by BFGoodrich Tires, that once again will be a spotlight attraction Nov. 3-6 during the massive annual SEMA Show trade gathering at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
With the qualifying lap starting and finishing inside the off-road track at LVMS, free tickets are available for the event on a limited, first-come, first-served basis. Advance free tickets (with a maximum of four per person) are available while supplies last at the popular 4 Wheel Parts store, located on 3901 West Russell Road in Las Vegas.
The 3.6-mile qualifying course at LVMS will incorporate off-road, dirt and pavement elements, utilize two race courses, and require the drivers to use their lights and qualify in the darkness of the Las Vegas night.
On Tuesday, Nov. 3 after a 3 p.m. (PT) media conference and racer meet and greet at the SEMA SCORE Baja 1000 Experience area, all 27 of the qualifying vehicles will start their engines in unison at 4:30 p.m. (PT) at the SEMA SCORE Baja 1000 Experience to begin a police-escorted procession of the high-flying racing machines to the LVMS Off-Road Track.
“We can’t thank SEMA enough for again providing SCORE with this incredible opportunity to once again showcase SCORE and the world’s greatest desert racers,” said Roger Norman, CEO/President of SCORE. “And the special SCORE Baja 1000 Qualifying at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a fitting tribute to the legacy of the Granddaddy of all Desert Races."
SEMA SCORE BAJA 1000 EXPERIENCE
The SEMA Show SCORE Baja 1000 Experience will include a 70,000-square foot desert racing exhibit in the Silver Lot 3 outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center’s South Hall alongside Paradise Road.
On display will be 23 SCORE Trophy Truck and four unlimited Class 1 race vehicles, exhibits from leading off-road and desert racing companies, the SCORE transporter, a huge stage, a massive SCOREvision double-sided LED screen showing SCORE race videos, press conferences, autograph sessions and an interactive BFGoodrich Tires display which will include a public pit-crew challenge.
The daily winners will receive a set of BFGoodrich Tires and one lucky team selected at random will be rewarded with a trip to the 2016 Bud Light SCORE Baja 1000 as guests of BFGoodrich Tires.
In addition to BFGoodrich Tires, Rigid Industries and King Shocks, also SCORE sponsors, will have elaborate exhibits inside of the SEMA SCORE Baja 1000 Experience.
