A few hours ago, Johnny Campbell rode his team’s Honda XR650 across the finish line in Cabo San Lucas in first place at the Tecate SCRORE Baja 2000. Campbell, with the help of teammates Tim Staab, Steve Hengeveld and Craig Smith, finished the 1726-mile race in 30 hours and 58 minutes, averaging 55.74 mph.
Not too far behind the winning team came the Honda legends team consisting of Bruce Ogilvie, Chuck Miller, Gary Jones, Bob Rutton, Paul Ostbo and Bob Johnson. The team took the checkered flag approximately 60 minutes behind the Campbell XR650R.
The first four-wheel vehicle has yet to cross the finish line, but former motorcycle racer Dan Smith is leading the cars and trucks.
Multi-time Baja winner (on a motorcycle) Larry Roeseler and co-driver Ivan Stewart were leading the four-wheel class when their PPI Toyota Trophy truck blew its motor around the halfway point
