BREMEN-Arredondo-Haines Make History At 50th Anniversary SCORE Baja 1000

Written by ADVMoto News | Images by Mark Kariya. Posted in News

Fittingly enough a crew of legendary racers wrote their names into the history books by winning the 50th Anniversary of the SCORE Baja 1000. The No. 45x BREMEN-Arredondo-Haines Racing Honda CRF450x was first to leave the start in Ensenada and finished the gruelling 1134 mile course with an official time of 21:07:17 taking their third consecutive race win and clinching the 2017 SCORE motorcycle championship.

"We knew it was going to be a tough fight for us," says the team's rider of record Francisco Arredondo. "The 50th Anniversary of the Baja 1000 is special, so we really gave it our all to try and win. The goal has always been to win the championship, but to do it by taking the Baja 1000 is a dream come true!" Headed by Arredondo, a professional Grand Prix equestrian, businessman and global adventurer from Guatemala, and Hall of Fame mechanic/racer Chris Haines, the team was established six years ago specifically to win the SCORE title.

As if winning the 50th Anniversary Baja 1000 wasn't already enough, Francisco also won his second SCORE World Desert Championship Milestone Award for finishing each of 2057.97 required miles in the four round 2017 series.

"Mission accomplished," says Shane Esposito, who has paired with Arredondo to win some of the toughest races in the world, including the Longest Race In America, Vegas To Reno. "This has been been a big commitment by everyone. It has been really serious for us as a team these past two years, so to finally win it has been a big relief!" Earlier this year Esposito accepted Francisco's invitation to compete in his first ever rally in North Africa.

Joining the veterans Esposito and Arrendondo were AMA Hall of Famer, Supercross title holder, National Enduro champion and now 5-time Baja 1000 winner Ty Davis, ISDE gold medalist and 2-time Baja 500 winner Justin Morgan and 2-time Baja 1000 winner and 2-time SCORE champion Max Eddy, Jr. "We really assembled a dream team here," jokes Haines. "However credit our entire crew for making the dream a reality." As a 15-time Baja 1000 class winning rider in his own right, Haines has clearly translated that experience into a builder of elite racers and championship winning teams.

As always the many volunteers manning the remote pits are the unsung heroes of any desert racing victory.

"This championship is dedicated to our families and sponsors," says Haines. "We can't thank SCORE president Roger Norman and his organization, and the Mexican officials enough for keeping the SCORE Baja 1000 legacy going for 50 years! All of us from the BREMEN-Arredondo-Haines Racing team look forward to defending the SCORE 1x plate in 2018 and another 50 years of the Baja 1000."

With an emphasis on expanding the field of UTV Rally racers, BAJA RALLY officials made the announcement Saturday morning in a “live seminar” this at the International Off Road & UTV Expo in Scottsdale, AZ. The successful consumer event, organized by Andy Myers from Never Stop Riding, enabled the rally to reach out to pro UTV racers and team sponsors about getting trained for cross country UTV rally racing.

BACK TO SCHOOL

“We’ll continue BAJA RALLY SCHOOL training sessions each month through July 2018”, explains rally chairman Scotty “Breauxman” Bloom. “Adding Malle Moto and Quad Pro classes to next year’s rally, the school is gradually building a core-base of racers for BAJA RALLY and others like it. A key focus for our team is training UTV champions from other series like SCORE and BITD and prepping them for the easy crossover into rally.”

Bloom said the next BAJA RALLY SCHOOL date is scheduled for January 19-21. The 3-day training academy, which has proven quite challenging even for professional racers, has produced 20 graduates this year and six who went on to race BAJA RALLY 5.
