At 59 years old, this veteran desert racer continues to prove that experience and determination are unmatched assets in SCORE competition. Winston demonstrated his enduring competitive spirit during the challenging 2021 SCORE Baja 1000 peninsula run from Ensenada to La Paz, where he piloted his Class 5-1600 VW Baja Bug alongside co-drivers Guy Savedra, Steven Fuentes, Ruben Garcia, and Ruben Garcia Jr. across the grueling 1,226.35-mile course.

Based in the high-altitude terrain of Golden, Colorado, Winston brings a unique perspective to Baja's demanding desert environment. His participation in the legendary peninsula race showcased the classic spirit of SCORE racing, competing in the traditional Class 5-1600 category that represents the grassroots foundation of desert racing.
