Californians capture SCORE Baja 2000
Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2000 | 10:16 a.m.
Johnny Campbell of San Clemente, Calif., and Dan Smith of Riverside, Calif., were the top finishers Monday in the most grueling desert race ever, the Tecate SCORE Baja 2000.
Campbell and his three co-riders, Tim Staab, Craig Smith and Steve Hengeveld, traveled the 1,679.54-mile circuit in a record 30 hours, 54 minutes and 12 seconds to capture the overall motorcycle victory aboard a Honda XR650.
Dan Smith and his co-driver David Ashley, also of Riverside, posted the best overall four-wheel vehicle time (32:15.39) at the finish line in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in their Duralast Ford F-150 truck.
Las Vegas' Troy Herbst finished second among four-wheel vehicles. He clinched his fourth straight SCORE unlimited Class 1 points championship and his second overall SCORE point championship in the last three years.
