Score sold badges or plaques that you could put on your dashboard for any race you were in or attended. Only if you could get to starting location,
the day before the race, could you get one from Score merchandising. So, I don't have every one for these years I collected them, but came across
these that were once attached to my Subaru dashboard, and reattached to this backing...
Score Riverside Off Road World Championship: 1974, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981.
Score Baja Internacional (what is now called the Baja 500): 1975, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981.
Some of the Nomad Score racers of the 70's & 80's may remember theses, TW, The Bajarunner, Corky, ???

Hah! I will be flying back up the US in September for an elk hunt with my boys....We intend to get rid of the rest of the stuff in boxes, as this will
be my last trip north...When I find them, I'll get them to you for your collection..
neat remembering those David

We had a dash board full of them! They went with the Bronco when we sold it. We do have a bunch of the jacket patches from those early years of Score.
Maybe I can dig some up.

LOL, I peeled them off my Subaru dashboard to save them!
I have a Score jacket patch and one from Dick Cepek the is for those who traveled to the tip of Baja before pavement 'Veteran of The Road'. Maybe when
I unpack it at the new place, I will make a Baja jacket an attach them?Curt63 - 6-27-2013 at 09:07 AM
Those are b-tchin!David K - 6-27-2013 at 05:00 PM
Hi Curt... yup, I went to as many SCORE races as I could back in the '70's and '80's.... sometimes ran a pit (Los Campeones Racing Team) and was once
a co-driver... so that 'Contestant' plaque from the '79 Baja 1000 is special to me! Time flies, so do the special things you can, when you can... and
enjoy your adventures as much as possible...willardguy - 6-27-2013 at 05:59 PM

I agree. That's why I'm a teacher. Very rewarding to see kids learn and lots of play time.David K - 6-28-2013 at 07:51 AM
Is Malcolm doing a Mark Spitz impression?

Corky sent me his to share...
David K - 6-29-2013 at 03:36 PM
Corky emailed me the following 4 photos of his plaques and patches going back to the days of NORRA (before SCORE began running Baja races in July,
1974)... Thanks Corky!
Cool that we were both in the 1979 Baja 1000!woody with a view - 6-29-2013 at 03:46 PM

WHOA, this is a trip down memory lane, a bunch of us jumped in a friend's Chevy van and drove up to that "world championship off road race" at
Riverside Raceway in 1976. My Hubby and I had just met and we were on a date! Good times! Thanks for sharing these, we are trippin' out right now!BajaLuna - 7-9-2013 at 11:23 PM
nice collection, DavidK!!!David K - 7-11-2013 at 09:10 AM
Thank you! The Score Riverside race was a blast. We camped in the infield along with the racer families. Mickey Thompson had a great idea when he
brought off road racing to the fans. I went to most of the Riverside Score races from '74 to the '80's. Sad when the tore the raceway down to build a
shopping center.

Bilstein used to mail out jacket patches to each team that finished.
Had our team jacket with half dozen sewed on,
then the previous wife tossed the jacket.
So I traded up and got a lady who would never do such a dastardly deed. (I hope)BajaLuna - 7-15-2013 at 09:03 PM
He sure did, DavidK! Wow we probably brushed paths back in the day! Those were some good times, for sure!David K - 3-5-2020 at 12:05 PM
Bump on a fun post... with the 2020 San Felipe 250 coming up on the 28th (originally the SCORE Mexicali 250, taken from the Hotel Lucerna 250, before
SCORE). StuckSucks - 3-5-2020 at 03:06 PM
