Polvoorde teamed up with Bryce Menzies at last year's Baja 1000 and the duo won the overall trophy.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_16727\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1024\"]<img class=\"wp-image-16727 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/score-baja1000-2026-qualifying-1l-1024.jpg\" alt=\"The red and white No. 1L Toyo Tires Trophy Truck, with Vildosola on the roof, kicks up dirt in a turn as spectators watch from the hillside\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/> The No. 1L of Ricky Johnson and Gustavo Vildosola Sr., quickest in the Trophy Truck Legends class.

In Trophy Truck Legends, Gustavo Vildosola Sr. will start up front in that class. Qualifying was delayed for an hour after a water truck became stuck on the course. Motorcycles and quads are set to start at 1:00 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13, with four-wheel classes at 9:00 a.m., both local time. The 59th running is a Cabo-to-Cabo loop of nearly 1,000 miles, the first Baja 1000 held entirely inside Baja California Sur, with more than 700 miles never before used terrain in a SCORE Baja race. Racers leave the start ramp on Boulevard Centenario in San Jos\u00e9 del Cabo, drop into the San Jos\u00e9 Wash for the first 10 miles of dirt, then head up the East Cape past Cabo Pulmo, La Ribera and Los Barriles and into the Sierra del Carrizalito toward San Juan de los Planes. The counter-clockwise course has four full-stop checkpoints: El Centenario near La Paz at race mile 213.60, Ejido Ley Federal No. 2 at mile 405.39, Ejido Francisco Villa at mile 604.07 and Santa Fe at mile 781.49, before returning to the San Jos\u00e9 Wash and the finish on Centenario. The course ranges from sea level to over 4,000 feet, and every class has a 40-hour limit.","excerpt":"<p>Defending SCORE Baja 1000 overall winner Christopher Polvoorde took Trophy Truck pole on Tuesday at qualifying.\u00a0 On a one-lap pass, &hellip;<\/p>","date":"November 10, 2026 22:17","categories":[{"id":25047610,"title":"Desert Racing","slug":"desert-racing"},{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"}],"tags":[{"id":25049561,"title":"Alan Ampudia","slug":"alan-ampudia"},{"id":25047702,"title":"baja 1000","slug":"baja-1000"},{"id":25050018,"title":"Baja California Sur","slug":"baja-california-sur"},{"id":25047666,"title":"Bryce Menzies","slug":"bryce-menzies"},{"id":25048251,"title":"christopher polvoorde","slug":"christopher-polvoorde"},{"id":25050021,"title":"Gustavo Vildosola Sr.","slug":"gustavo-vildosola-sr"},{"id":25049804,"title":"Method Race Wheels","slug":"method-race-wheels"},{"id":25050017,"title":"San Jose del Cabo","slug":"san-jose-del-cabo"},{"id":25047699,"title":"score international","slug":"score-international"},{"id":25047638,"title":"trophy truck","slug":"trophy-truck"}]},{"id":16680,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2026\/11\/06\/baja-lite-race-trucks-set-to-make-a-comeback-in-desert-racing\/","title":"Baja Lite Race Trucks Set to Make a Comeback in Desert Racing","content":"Baja Lite race trucks are making a return to desert racing, bringing back a style of competition designed to give racers another opportunity to compete in some of the sport's biggest events without stepping into the expensive world of Trophy Truck racing. The revival is being spearheaded by Desert Race Experience (DRX), which is developing a new racing program centered around a mid-size truck platform. The effort is aimed at creating a professional, competitive class that offers a more accessible entry point into desert racing while still delivering the experience of competing in major off-road events.\r\n\r\nThe program will compete under the name Spec Lite at American Off-Road Racing Championship (AORC) events, with plans to also participate in select SCORE International races in Baja, Mexico. The return of BajaLite also carries a significant connection to the sport's history. The class was originally championed by the late Pete \u201cPistol\u201d Sohren, who developed the concept around building a reliable, competitive desert race truck that working-class racers could afford to own, maintain and race. Following Sohren's death in 2019, the future of the BajaLite program became uncertain. Now, DRX operators Ron Stobaugh and John Slavic have taken ownership of the class with the blessing of Sohren's family, giving the program a chance to begin a new chapter.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_16687\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]<img class=\"size-large wp-image-16687\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/BajaLite-Old-Pistol-Shop-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/> An original Baja Lite sits in front of \"Pistol\" Pete's race shop in Arizona.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe BajaLite trucks feature a mid-size platform with a shiftable transmission, GM Ecotec engine and 35-inch tires. The design is intended to provide a traditional desert racing experience while incorporating modern safety features and chassis development.DRX is also planning to offer an arrive-and-drive program, driver training, race preparation and team management services. The goal is to help newcomers experience desert racing without having to independently purchase, build and manage an entire race program.\r\n\r\nFor AORC competition, the class will be known as Spec Lite, carrying vehicle numbers 201L through 299L. SCORE has also indicated plans to accommodate the returning trucks in its 2027 events, although the class name and numbering have not yet been announced.","excerpt":"<p>Baja Lite race trucks are making a return to desert racing, bringing back a style of competition designed to give &hellip;<\/p>","date":"November 6, 2026 09:45","categories":[{"id":25047610,"title":"Desert Racing","slug":"desert-racing"},{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"}],"tags":[{"id":25049999,"title":"AORC","slug":"aorc"},{"id":25050013,"title":"Baja Lite","slug":"baja-lite"},{"id":25050014,"title":"Desert Race Experience","slug":"desert-race-experience"},{"id":25047659,"title":"desert racing","slug":"desert-racing"},{"id":25047736,"title":"off-road racing","slug":"off-road-racing"},{"id":25049721,"title":"pistol pete","slug":"pistol-pete"}]},{"id":16661,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2026\/11\/03\/michael-mosiman-joins-quad-lock-honda-for-2027-smx-season\/","title":"Michael Mosiman Joins Quad Lock Honda for 2027 SMX Season","content":"<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Michael Mosiman has a new home for the 2027 season, joining Quad Lock Honda\u2019s 250 program as the team looks to strengthen its championship-contending effort across the AMA Supercross, Pro Motocross and SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) series. The American rider brings nearly a decade of professional experience to the Australian-based team, along with proven race-winning speed and unfinished business in the highly competitive 250 class.<\/p>\r\n\u201cI want to reach my potential and see how good I can become as an athlete,\u201d Mosiman said. \u201cI pushed to be a part of this program because I believe this is a place where I can progress my skills, develop the motorcycle and put myself in a position to fight for championships. Kevin Windham\u2019s involvement was a big part of that decision, and I\u2019m excited about what we can accomplish together.\u201d\r\n\r\nFormer professional champion Kevin Windham will play a significant role in the team's rider development, testing and performance program, an important factor in Mosiman's decision to join the organization. Quad Lock Honda founder and team principal Yarrive Konsky believes Mosiman has the talent and experience to deliver results as the team continues investing in its 250 program. American Honda is also increasing its support of the satellite program, with the 250 class remaining an important part of the manufacturer's long-term rider development strategy.\r\n\r\nMosiman will join fellow newcomer Cameron McAdoo as part of the team's strengthened 250 effort for 2027. The organization is focused on building a package capable of consistently challenging for race wins and championships. For Mosiman, the move represents another opportunity to return to championship contention after a career interrupted by injuries.\r\n\r\nQuad Lock Honda will compete throughout the 2027 AMA Supercross Championship, AMA Pro Motocross Championship and SMX Playoffs, with Mosiman expected to be a key part of its championship ambitions.","excerpt":"<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Michael Mosiman has a new home for the 2027 season, joining Quad Lock Honda\u2019s 250 program as the team looks &hellip;<\/p>","date":"November 3, 2026 23:57","categories":[{"id":25047609,"title":"Moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"}],"tags":[{"id":25047643,"title":"Honda","slug":"honda"},{"id":25048710,"title":"michael mosiman","slug":"michael-mosiman"},{"id":25047675,"title":"moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047764,"title":"mx","slug":"mx"},{"id":25049978,"title":"Quad lock honda","slug":"quad-lock-honda"},{"id":25049375,"title":"smx","slug":"smx"}]}]{
