Baja 1000 Finish line controversy


The Race-Dezert.com finish line read like this...

#‎Baja1000‬ finish line:
1. Apdali
2. Rob Mac
3. Laguna
4. Herbst
5. Tavo

Now, it appears @maccachren21 and @amcmillin31 won the overall race.

Does anyone know what happened??

Lopez probably should have won this, but like the Vidosola fiasco, it will take a few weeks to make the official comments by SCORE.

No controversy. Its the SCORE way of doing results. Always wait for penalties.
The Mx guys on facebook are upset so it appears like Apadali got a penalty for missing a VCP which means Rob Mac wins. SCORE has real time readout on penalties. It all automated these days. All they need to do is look at the computer screen after each racer finishes.
Wait for more penalties to be announced.
Ken is correct based in timing from BFG, but they do not log penalties.

Rob Mac arrived first but Apadali came in next and had the lowest elapsed time until SCORE noted that Apadali missed a virtual check point. The result was enough time added to Apadali to declare RobMac the winner. Such it is.

FYI, Apadali Lopez is the son of Juan Carlos Lopez another top driver (of the PIN race team based in Ensenada). Last time I checked Apadali drives a truck owned by the retired Tennessee coal mine owner – Clyde Stacy. The team is called RPM and has several entries under that logo.
