Sal Fish, the SCORE race promoter provides his personal, best wishes to every racer leaving the starting line.

First off the line for wave #1 is the 5/1600 car driven by Brent Shermak.

The first wave of racers left the line at 0600hrs in a somewhat disorderly fashion. Many teams were late to the start finish adding a minor amount of confusion to the small pack of nineteen, starting vehicles.

The first wave consists of Class 5/1500 - Limited Baja Bugs, Class 9 - Limited Buggies, Class 3 - Short Wheelbase SUV's and Sportsman Cars and Trucks. The second wave of racers covering all other classes to include the super fast Trophy Trucks and Class, Unlimited Buggies will be off the line at 0800hrs.
