#1802
Rising from the harsh desert landscapes of Baja California, this international competitor has carved out a remarkable niche in SCORE off-road racing, representing Israel on the world's most challenging stages. Sharon achieved his breakthrough victory at the legendary 2017 SCORE Baja 1000, conquering the grueling 1,134-mile peninsula course to claim the Sportsman UTV Open-Stock class championship in his #1802 Yamaha YXZ1000.
The triumph came after an epic 39-hour battle across Mexico's unforgiving terrain, where Sharon maintained a blistering 29.01 mph average speed while navigating treacherous mountain passes, desert washes, and coastal sections that have claimed countless other competitors. His victory stood out in a field where only one of three starters in the Sportsman UTV class managed to reach the finish line in La Paz.
Sharon's international presence adds to SCORE racing's global appeal, joining competitors from 27 countries who tackled that historic Baja 1000. His successful campaign demonstrates the universal draw of desert racing, where skill, preparation, and determination matter more than geography. The championship validates years of dedication to mastering the unique challenges of Baja's brutal landscape, establishing Sharon as a proven force in international off-road competition.
