I just checked and found nothing about 2016 race dates on the Score-web site... Too early maybe?
Here it is: http://score-international.com/

Years ago it was even in February... and I remember going to the 'Mexicali 250', before Score considered San Felipe big enough to move the race start
there. Before SCORE, there was the Hotel Lucerna 250, out from Mexicali. Desert racing in that area of Baja is very much grandfathered as a tradition!

Look for the San Felipe 250 to be held in February next year, per my sources...

From one sourse:
From el Vigia: English translation below.
Buenas noticias para los fans mexicanos y especialmente de Baja California, el Campeonato Mundial 2016 de Score International contará con 5 fechas,
todas en suelo mexicano y el regreso de la Baja Sur 500 tras un éxito del evento en este año.
Una fuente de Score International me reveló have unos días esta información en la que me mencionaba también de la aparición de una fecha oficial en
Rosarito, nada ilógico si se toma en cuenta que Roger Norman corrió este año una competencia local en ese bello puerto.
Con esto desaparecerá la Imperial Valley 250 y Norman como dueño de Score enfocará todas sus fuerzas en la península bajacaliforniana, algo que ya
había hecho en su momento Sal Fish, pero con solo 3 carreras, la Baja 1000, Baja 500 y la San Felipe 250, por lo que ahora el promotor estadounidense
intentará atraer a más corredores con un nuevo evento, el regreso de la Baja Sur 500 y los llamados 3 Grandes Premios de Baja.
Con esto el Campeonato Mundial 2016 de Score International comenzaría a finales de febrero con la San Felipe 250 celebrando el cumpleaños 30 del
tradicional evento que se celebra en ese puerto.
Posteriormente sería el turno en abril de la Baja Sur 500 que contará con una ruta atractiva y que en gran parte fue idea del fallecido Óscar Ramos
Jassen, quien convenció a Norman de tocar esa puerta, algo que no hizo Sal Fish en 39 años al frente del organismo de Off-Road.
En junio será el turno de la Baja 500 en su cumpleaños 48, con una competencia con arranque y meta en Ensenada como marca la tradición del evento en
donde han participado celebridades de la talla de James Garner, Steve McQueen, Jimmy Vasser y Jesse James.
Ya en septiembre le tocaría a Rosarito ser parte de su primera fecha puntuable de su historia en Score, en un evento de dos días, con revisión,
carrera y premiación, siendo clave en este evento la presencia de Raúl Rodríguez de la empresa Tecnovisión y quien llevó a Roger Norman a correr este
año la Rosarito 200, un evento de circuito y que podría ser el esquema bajo el que se llevaría a cabo el nuevo evento.
En noviembre todos los caminos llevan a Baja con la celebración de las 1000 millas, que podría ser en 2016 de circuito con arranque y meta en
Ensenada, aunque en este año será así, esto con la finalidad de armar un eventazo tipo Baja 2000 para 2017 en el aniversario 50 de la "Madre de todas
las carreras fuera de camino” que demandaría un gasto importante de dinero y logística, tanto para el organizador como los corredores y equipos de
competencia, no falta mucho para conocer el calendario de Score para el siguiente año, algo que podría suceder en la Off Road Expo de Pomona,
California, que se celebrará del 3 al 4 de octubre o antes, pero es un hecho que serán 5 fechas de Score en Baja California con 5 sedes muy completas,
como lo son Ensenada, San Felipe, Rosarito, Los Cabos y Loreto, aunque en forma increíble Mexicali sigue sin ser parte de la "Era Norman”, algo que
los fans cachanillas siguen pidiendo a gritos y esto viene desde las épocas de Sal Fish, el poder gozar de nuevo de un evento de Score, tal y como
sucedió con las ediciones 1993 y 1994 con la Baja 1000.
The translated version:
Good news for Mexican fans and especially of the 2016 World Championship of Score International Baja California will have 5 dates, all in Mexican
soil, and the return of the low Southern 500 after a success of the event this year.<br>
<br>A source of Score International revealed to me a few days ago this information that mentioned me also the appearance of an official date in
Rosarito, nothing illogical if one takes into account that Roger Norman ran this year a local competition in this beautiful port.<br>
<br>With this it will disappear the Imperial Valley 250 and Norman as owner of Score will focus all his strength on the Baja peninsula,
something that had already at the time salt Fish, but with only 3 races, the Baja 1000, Baja 500, and the San Felipe 250, so now the American promoter
will try to attract more runners with a new event the return of the lower South 500 and calls 3 great prizes of low.<br>
<br>With this the 2016 World Championship of Score International would begin in late February with the San Felipe 250 celebrating birthday 30
traditional event which takes place in that port.<br>
<br>Later it would be the turn in April of the low Southern 500 will feature an attractive route and which largely was the brainchild of the
late Oscar Ramos Jassen, who convinced Norman to touch that door, something that did not salt Fish in 39 years as head of the Agency of
off-road.<br>
<br>In June will be the turn of the Baja 500 in her 48 birthday, with competition starting and goal in Ensenada as the tradition of the event
where celebrities from the likes of Steve McQueen, James Garner, Jimmy Vasser and Jesse James have participated.<br>
<br>Already in September it would touch you to Rosarito be part of their first scoring date in its history in Score, in a two day event, with
review and career Awards, being key to this event the presence of Raúl Rodríguez of the company Tecnovision and who took Roger Norman racing Rosarito
200, an event of circuit this year and that could be the schema under which the new event would take place.<br>
<br>In November, all roads lead to low with the celebration of the 1000 miles, which may be in 2016 circuit starting and goal in Ensenada, but
this year will be as well, this in order to assemble an eventazo type low 2000 to 2017 on the 50th anniversary of the "mother of all races out of way"
that would take a major expenditure of money and logistics both for the Organizer as runners and teams competition, not missing much for Score
calendar for the following year, something that could happen at the Off Road Expo in Pomona, California, which will be held from 3 to 4 October or
before, but is a fact that will be 5 dates of Score Baja California with 5 well-appointed offices , such as Ensenada, San Felipe, Rosarito, Los Cabos
and Loreto, although shaped incredible Mexicali is still not part of the "Norman was", something that the cachanillas fans continue to call to cries
and this comes from times of salt Fish, the power to enjoy again a Score event, as it happened with the editions 1993 and 1994 with the Baja 1000.
