NO BREAK FOR MOSS BROTHERS IN SAN FELIPE

At this time of year, many Americans head for Baja Mexico for a Spring Break vacation, but the Bishop, CA based SCORE Class 3 champion Moss brothers are on their way to San Felipe this weekend in search of their 21st SCORE class win. The 1979 Ford Bronco Class 3 entry has won the SCORE San Felipe 250 for the last four years. The Moss brothers, Don and Ken, along with about 360 other racers from 20 states and several countries will be competing in the 20th Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 on Saturday, March 11. This race is the second in the 6 race SCORE desert racing series and will challenge racers to successfully navigate thru the base of the San Pedro Martir Mountains and numerous washes, before traversing the 27 miles known as 'Matomi Wash' and then ending with a 9 mile stretch of rock strewn turns overlooking the Sea of Cortez. The 240 mile course is the same one that the team conquered in 2005 and finished in just under 7 hours. "It's a rough course each year, especially with our short wheelbase and heavy weight and they always want to send us through 30 miles of whoops right at the start, which our Bronco just hates……not to mention the drivers," commented Don Moss. His brother Ken added, "If we hit these whoops just a little too fast, we get major air time and there are not usually many options to get around them. However, I like coming to this race as we usually have lots of time for tacos and we are done racing before dark." Ken is usually driving the Bronco after dark, so this is a break for him. "Oh, another thing, Don always kills off the competition before I get in so I have to chase other class cars down."

The Moss Brothers #300 entry will be sporting new King coil over shocks to compliment the new radius arms from westcoastbronco.com that were installed just before the Laughlin race, making the ride and articulation much better. The Moss Brothers are the current points leaders and will be racing with two other entries in this race in Class 3. The brothers are also still in the running for the end of the year Toyota Milestone Award.

Racing begins in San Felipe at 6 am on Saturday, March 10 with a 10-hour time limit to complete it.
