Las Vegas, Nev., – Nov. 07, 2013 – Before heading to Baja, Calif., for the season finale 46th Annual Tecate SCORE International Baja 1000, the No. 1031 Radar Tires Buggy will be featured the 2013 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center from Tuesday through Friday. The No.1031 Radar Tires Racing Buggy is one of the main attractions in the Radar Tires Booth 43211 at SEMA this week.
The Alumicraft chassis, Class 10 buggy with special non-DOT size 33X10.50R15 Radar Renegade R5 race tires is the same racing machine that Mike Johnson and Mike Majesky codrove in the SCORE Baja 250 in March, where they earned a Class 10 Unlimited third-place finish. Johnson raced solo during the Baja 500 in May and earned Radar Tires’ first long course, off-road racing win. As a result of the two podium finishes this season, Johnson heads into next month’s endurance race with the class points lead.
“As we wrap-up our debut season in off-road racing, we’re thrilled to showcase Radar Tires on the Class 10 Buggy at SEMA this weekend,” said Scott Rhodes, Vice President of Sales, Omni United USA. “Our long course, off-road season has exceeded our expectations with two podium finishes and the points lead heading into the final race. We’re optimistic about our chances at the Baja later this month. But no matter the result, we’re very pleased with Radar Tires’ debut season in off-road racing.”
Immediately after the SEMA show, the No.1031 Radar Tires Racing Buggy and the Bronson Motorsports team head to Baja, Calif. The team will spend the week strategizing and prerunning the course.
The 46th Annual Tecate SCORE International Baja 1000 will take place Nov. 13-17, and is being touted as one of the toughest courses in series history. The 800-plus mile event starts in Ensenada, treks southeast through the Baja California peninsula in the Baja Norte state from Ensenada on the Pacific Ocean, then over to San Felipe on the Sea of Cortez, travels south through Coco’s Corner, kisses the Pacific Ocean near Punta Blanco, vectors north into the mountains again through Mike’s Sky Ranch, before finally finishing in Ensenada.
Radar Tires chose off-road motorsports to showcase the Renegade R5 M/T tire, which features open blocks for mud dispersion, deep tread blocks and reinforced shoulders. This tread pattern and rigorous construction is ideal for the surfaces encountered on short course tracks such as Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, Calif., and Firebird Raceway in Chandler, Ariz. as well as the open desert of Baja California in the legendary SCORE Baja 1000, the most iconic of all off-road races.
