ProComp, Coyne & Robby Gordon Motorsports Dominate
at the 2005 Baja 500!
Congratulations
to Marty & Travis Coyne, Robby Gordon and the entire #5
and #83 Trophy Truck Teams for their excellent 4th & 1st place finishes
at the 2005 SCORE Baja 500!
Pro Comp descended
on the beautiful town of Ensenada to tackle this year’s
treacherous Baja 500 race course described as the roughest and most dangerous
in over 10 years. With a record 29 entries in the elite Trophy Truck class,
Robby drew 4th car off the line. Lady luck however was not so good to Marty & Travis
having drawn the 29th starting spot; however they rose to the challenge.
As did the Coynes,
Robby Gordon’s #83 entry had a picture perfect day
resulting in 1st place in class and, with over 300 total entries, 1st place
overall. Our hats off to Robby and his team for a great day in Mexico!
Marty Coyne was
the first driver for the #5 team and flawlessly navigated the Pro Comp Trophy
Truck
through the washed out roads of Tres Hermanos and
Urapan to race mile 171 (Valley de Trinidad) where his son Travis assumed the
driving duties. Travis then muscled the Pro Comp Trophy Truck through both
Simsons and Mike’s Sky Ranch without a single flat or problem! On top
of Marty’s and Travis' perfect day behind the wheel, The Pro Comp / Coyne
Motorsports crew provided a day of flawless pit, fueling and chase support
second to none. When the dust settled, Coyne Motorsports and the Pro Comp Trophy
Truck roared across the finish line 4th in class a mere 32 seconds out of 3rd
place.
Look for the Pro
Comp teams at the Baja 1000 where they’ll be looking
to charge hard for another fantastic Baja performance.
