Wednesday, September 9. If you are running the 7th SCORE Baja 400 and you want a qualifying run tomorrow, today is the only day to sign up for it: 1:00 to 7:00 p.m. PT in the Red Room at the Riviera de Ensenada Cultural Center. The published schedule states no walk-ins after 6:00 p.m.
That applies to Trophy Truck, Trophy Truck 2WD, Trophy Truck Legend, Class 1, Trophy Truck Spec and Pro Ultimate UTV — the classes eligible for Method Race Wheels Qualifying. The qualifying location itself is private property and is handed out at Wednesday registration rather than published in advance.
Thursday, September 10: qualifying runs from 8:00 a.m. through the end of the program. It is a non-spectator site. Watching happens on SCORE Live — score-international.com, the SCORE app, Facebook and YouTube.
General on-site registration is Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (no walk-ins after 4:00) and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (no walk-ins after 3:00). Tech and contingency take over Bulevar Costero on Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. All times Pacific, and SCORE reserves the right to move them.
Saturday is the race: motos and quads off the line at 5:00 a.m., cars, trucks and UTVs at 10:00 a.m., 423.16 miles, 16-hour limit.
