SAN DIEGO — SCORE International will celebrate on Saturday, Dec. 12 at the SCORE Tech Shop in El Cajon, Calif., during the 2015 SCORE Awards Night. The facility is located just east of San Diego.
At the Tech Shop, nearly 400 SCORE racers, family, friends, crews, sponsors and media will bask in the Southern California sunshine as the SCORE Awards Night will honor the history and fame of the name which is the standard for desert racing worldwide while celebrating the five-race 2015
SCORE World Desert Championship.
This year will mark the second time that the annual SCORE Awards Night has been held at the Tech Shop and the seventh time the historic evening will be held in Southern California since 2000, when it was held at Joe’s Garage automotive museum in Tustin, Calif. It will also be the sixth consecutive year in SoCal for the popular event.
“These evenings are always very special,” said Roger Norman, completing his third year as the SCORE CEO/President. “It is a great time for racers, families and crews to get together and celebrate another amazing SCORE racing season. This was our third year overseeing this international treasure we call SCORE and the SCORE Tech Shop will be transformed to provide a very fitting environment to honor the achievements of the world’s greatest desert racers.”
