The legendary SCORE Baja 500 was this past weekend and like always it didn’t disappoint. Saturday was a day of great racing with Bryce Menzies winning the prestigious Trophy Truck class as well as the 4 Wheel overall. In Class 1 Steve Euegino/Adam Pffankuch took the win coming from the back of the pack picking people off mile by mile.
2011 Desert Season Has Begun
Almost two months ago I crashed my quad over Thanksgiving and suffered a concussion, broke rib, and a fractured L2 vertebrate. Because of that I had to miss two races in December, making it the first time in a long time that I didn’t shoot anything for over a full month. Instead I was out of working, laying in bed, unable to pick my own son up from his crib.
My Best Photos of 2010
2010 has been a great year for me and my family. My amazing wife Jamie and I have seen our son turn into a blob of a baby to a growing young man. Its crazy how fast time flies by and watching him grow up and being a parent with Jamie has been the best part of the year. I also turned 30 this year, celebrated our two year wedding anniversary, crashed my quad and broke a vertebrate, went to Kauai, and once again went to a lot of great locations to do what I love, photography.
Chasing the 2010 SCORE Baja 1000 – My Story
For this years SCORE Baja 1000 my assignment was to chase the McMillin Racing team. My usual cohort was the legendary Scott Smith of Paradigm Productions, and our buddy Johnny “The Slayer” Rukkas. We headed down Wednesday morning to get down there before contingency started so that we made sure we caught them rolling through tech. Luckily for us, around 5:45am Scott got a text from Beau of McMillin Racing asking when we were headed down. Beau was already sitting in line waiting for tech to start in the #31 Trophy Truck, so we knew first thing when we got there we’d be able to catch them.
2010 SCORE Baja 500
Known as the second biggest desert race in the world, the SCORE Baja 500 is a warm up race for the grand daddy of all offroad races, the Baja 1000. Held every year in June, the 2010 Baja 500 started in the town of Ensenada, and would work its way through the Baja peninsula until it finally came back around and finished where it started. This year saw a huge entry list in the unlimited classes, with 39 Trophy Trucks starting and over 20 Class 1 cars.
2010 SCORE San Felipe 250 Rhino Adventures
This past weekend marked the 2010 SCORE San Felipe 250 race down in San Felipe, Mexico along the Baja Peninsula. Its always a fun race to photograph because since its a shorter race, its an all out sprint the whole time. It also makes it more challenging to get to multiple shooting location since the leaders usually finish in just a little over 4 hours.
