Greenville, S.C., Nov. 14, 2016 – BFGoodrich Tires, the official tire of SCORE International, is proud to mark 40 years of competing in Baja desert racing this year. What began as an entry for testing purpose in 1976, on an Oldsmobile Starfire with Fritz Kroyer has exploded into one of the great success stories in off-road racing.
Over 40 years, BFGoodrich has 86 overall wins in SCORE Baja racing, more than all other tire manufacturers combined. Those early racing successes also launched a revolutionary new tire category that contributed to the growth of the entire light-truck and four-wheel-drive industry.
Throughout the four decades of racing on the peninsula, BFGoodrich has been committed to supporting the widest range of race classes and thus has had a broad group of tires demonstrate success in desert racing. In fact, more than 20 BFGoodrich Tire designs have won a class in the SCORE Baja 1000 and five different tires, from the original all-terrain tires to purpose-built race tires have won the overall title at the SCORE Baja 1000.
