St Andrew, BC - #BC6
Antonio Toledo carved his name into SCORE desert racing history with a commanding second-place class finish at the legendary 2019 SCORE Baja 1000, establishing himself as an elite competitor in the world's most demanding off-road race. Racing from his base in St. Andrew, BC, Toledo demonstrated the skill and determination required to conquer Baja's unforgiving terrain during what proved to be one of the most challenging editions of the race in recent memory.
The 2019 Baja 1000 tested every competitor's limits with storm-ravaged conditions that transformed the course into a grueling test of both machine and driver. While many seasoned racers fell victim to the brutal weather and treacherous track conditions, Toledo's podium performance showcased his ability to adapt and excel when the stakes are highest. His achievement came during the 52nd running of this prestigious event, where he competed alongside international talent and proved his mettle against the world's best desert racers.
Toledo's success in SCORE competition reflects the dedication and precision required to excel in professional desert racing, where split-second decisions and unwavering focus separate podium finishers from the rest of the field.
While the Baja Challenge class has a record for 100 percent finishes of everyone in the class, this race proved to be difficult even for them. Among this year’s winners was the BC1 team of Lance Clifford, who persevered despite fixing a bad clutch and finished first. “We had no flats but did lose a clutch,†said Clifford. “We got that fixed but it took three hours. We were down 60 miles so we had to go for it and put the hammer down. We kept it on the course and got lucky. It was great. Thank SCORE, Wide Open, and BFGoodrich for everything they did for us.†Read More
