    ENSENADA, Mexico—An informative and free workshop on safety in off-road racing will be held next Saturday (July 28) starting at 10 a.m. PT at popular Mission Beach in San Diego. With prominent guest speakers from several motorsports disciplines, the annual event is being presented again by SCORE International in association with the Stand 21 Safety Foundation.

     Hosted by SCORE’s Roger Norman and Stand 21 Racewear’s Yves Morizot, scheduled guest speakers include California Speedway track EMS Joe Powell, SFI Technical Manager Mike Hurst and Ed Becker, President and chief engineer of the SNELL Foundation.

     Moderator of the workshop will be Don Taylor, Director of the Stand 21 Safety Foundation whose objective for the workshop is “for attendees to walk out the door with some practical, applicable, use-it-next-race, safety information that they haven’t heard before.  This event will not be a boring classroom lecture series by egghead scientists! And it is being held on the beach with a barl-b-que afterwards so it great opportunity for the entire family.”

     Open to desert racers in all classes, their race crews, and their families, topics will include SCORE’s continuing emphasis on Safety advances, Fire Protection, HANS neck restraints, Helmet testing and care and motorcycle rider safety. These safety workshops have been produced by the non-profit Stand 21 Safety Foundation for the past seven years. With its Racing Goes Safer program, the Stand 21 Safety Foundation has been active since 1970.  Meanwhile, Stand 21 Racewear, founded nearly 50 years ago in France, operates in the United States out of its Stand 21 North America headquarters in Huntington Beach, Calif.

     SCORE continues its paramount commitment to educate and re-educate racers, crews and fans regarding the importance of safety in desert racing, especially in Baja California, Mexico, which is the most unique racing environment in the world and the most unique form of all competitive motorsports. This safety workshop information will be fully utilized in the SCORE social media platforms including multiple safety videos posted on the SCORE website, SCORE YouTube channel and a major Safety Issue planned for the August SCORE Journal digital magazine.

     Don Taylor was formerly Technical Services Director at the NHRA, and a Group Manager at General Motors Racing, running the NASCAR program.

 WORKSHOP REGISTRATION:

     While the workshop and the lunch provided are all free, SCORE requests that participants register by next Thursday (July 26) by calling the SCORE Reno offices at +1.775.852.8907.
