Building on years of desert racing experience, this determined competitor has proven his mettle across multiple SCORE classes, demonstrating versatility and persistence in Baja's unforgiving terrain. His racing journey spans the technical challenges of the Class 1/2-1600 division, where he competed alongside seasoned veterans like Ernesto Arambula and Edmundo Fernandez in the grueling SCORE Baja 500, navigating the demanding VW-powered category that tests both mechanical reliability and driver endurance.
What sets this San Diego-based racer apart is his commitment to the sport's grassroots divisions, where teamwork and mechanical preparation often matter more than raw horsepower. His experience in the 1600cc class has provided invaluable knowledge of desert racing fundamentals, from pre-running strategy to race-day execution under extreme conditions. The transition from his earlier racing days in Mexico to establishing himself in the competitive Southern California scene demonstrates his dedication to advancing his desert racing career.
Now at 34, he brings maturity and hard-earned experience to every race, understanding that success in SCORE competition requires not just speed, but also smart decision-making, reliable preparation, and the ability to adapt when conditions deteriorate. His continued participation in SCORE's premier events reflects his passion for desert racing's ultimate challenges.
