Having first raced in Mexico in 1970, Fish started his entrepreneurial career in desert racing in 1973 when the late Mickey Thompson, founder of SCORE International, recruited him. Fish brought innovation to SCORE, organizing class rules, implementing safety procedures, and transforming the Baja 1000 into one of the most recognized motorsports events in the world today. In 1985 Fish brought unity to the sport when SCORE formed a combined series with Walt Lott and the High Desert Racing Association (HDRA). Fish later teamed up with CFO, Ted Johnson, to purchase SCORE International from Thompson in 1986, and the HDRA in 1993.
ABOUT THE LEGENDARY TECATE SCORE BAJA 1000
The legendary Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 stands as tall at the pinnacle of the motorsports world today as it did when it began 44 years ago. This year’s historic 45th anniversary race will be held Nov. 14-17. The race starts in the heart of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, and finishes over 1,000 miles down the majestic Baja California peninsula in La Paz, Baja Sur, Mexico. Approximately 400 entries, competing in 35 Pro and 7 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs, will be part of this year’s odyssey.
As the oldest and most well-known of all desert races, it remains as the single most appealing accomplishment to a driver. The Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 has captured the imagination of the entire world as entries have come not only from every state in the United States and Mexico, but has also attracted racers from all over the world.
Sal Fish said “The SCORE Baja 1000 continues to draw interest from all over the world and we now find second and even third generation racers appearing at the starting line with their family patriarchs cheering for their off-spring. This event continues to be the focal point of the SCORE Desert Series each year, and to celebrate our 45th anniversary will surely add another colorful chapter to the legacy of the SCORE Baja 1000.”
