Arthur Babcock carved his name into SCORE off-road racing history with a dominant victory at the 2019 SCORE Baja 1000, claiming the Pro Moto Ironman class championship on the legendary Baja peninsula. This Las Vegas-based competitor conquered one of desert racing's most grueling challenges, tackling the punishing terrain and extreme conditions that define the Ironman motorcycle class.
The Pro Moto Ironman division represents the ultimate test of endurance and skill in SCORE competition, demanding riders complete the entire race distance solo without a co-rider.

Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Babcock joins an exclusive group of racers who have claimed victory in one of SCORE's most challenging motorcycle divisions. His Baja 1000 triumph adds to the rich legacy of Pro Moto Ironman champions who have pushed the limits of human endurance in off-road racing. The achievement stands as testament to his dedication to the sport and mastery of the demanding skills required to compete at SCORE's highest level.
