BIG REACH
The SCORE Journal digital magazine, reaching an average of over 1.8 million unique viewers per issue with an average engagement time of over 31 minutes is a major element in the continuing media expansion that SCORE has implemented. The revamped SCORE website also generates an average of over 2 million monthly unique viewers.
AND NOW…
“I have personally been part of the magazine publishing world for over 30 years and I am continually amazed with the quality and reach of the digital edition of the SCORE Journal,” commented Jim Ryan, SCORE Director of Marketing and Sales. “The SCORE Journal has started its third year and find myself again saying that this is our finest issue to date.”
“With dynamic features, this issue delves diligently into the world of racing helmets and revealing information to help us understand more the overall impact and consequences of concussions in our desert racing world. There is also a first look at the new Chevrolet Colorado ZR2.”
INSIDE VOL. 3, NO. 2
Vol. 3, No. 2 of the SCORE Journal is once again filled with several interesting must-read features and news items.
Above all else, Safety is paramount at SCORE International. This is reflected in our investigative report on racing helmets and competition concussions.
Another feature looks closely at how Juan Tintos, SCORE’s new Mexico Liaison, is cultivating existing relationships as well as forging new ones among the people and governmental agencies of Baja California and all of Mexico.
There is also a ‘fab-ulous’ feature about Troy Johnson of the Fab School and how he built a 1974 Ford Bronco for his daughter.
Noted motorcycle journalist/photographer Mark Kariya also teams with our own SJ editor Dan Sanchez for a revealing review of those glorious first attempts to conquer the Baja peninsula by the Ekins brothers. This amazing feature is part of the special continuous feature on “The road to the 50th anniversary” of the iconic SCORE Baja 1000 feature series that is part of each SCORE Journal in 2017.
Among the SCORE News is a story on the legendary Sal Fish, SCORE’s owner for 38 years until Dec. 20, 2012, who has graciously accepted the invitation to be the grandest of grand marshals for this year’s 50th SCORE Baja 1000 in November.
And the issue again includes the Off-Road Marketplace displaying the latest products for racers and enthusiasts.
