"SCORE is part of Mexico's ambassadors world - wide, promoting our culture, our tourist destina- tions to our friends from the different continents of the planet," said SCORE President Abelardo Grijalva. "Since it is not only about SCORE Inter - national, but also that more countries can know that Baja California is a unique place, added to the warmth of our people.

Webb To Race In Australia C ooper Webb will compete in the AUSX Open in Australia on November 30. The Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha Team rider has been sidelined with a thumb injury but plans to suit up for the SuperMotocross World Championship Playoffs in September and also the AUSX Open in November, where he'll compete against Australia's own Jett and Hunter Lawrence. "When you go to Australia and race their top guys, it's no joke, the Australian crowds are electric. The vibe and atmosphere will be incred - ible," said Webb. "It would be awesome to win, especially with Jett and Hunter there—any time I beat them is great, but it would be cool to do it in their own country," said Webb. "I am friends with Jett and have a lot of respect for him, but I'm confident in my ability—I'm going there to win. "We know Jett is a generational talent, he's the full package," Webb added. "Equally, Hunter is in great form right now and will be hard to beat as well and no doubt he will want to prove a point at home, but I'll be ready for the challenge. "Whatever happens on the night, I know it will be intense and hard-fought racing between us all. The Aussie fans are in for a treat!" Reigning AUSX Open Champion Dean Wilson is also expected to compete. CN Cooper Webb says he is going to compete in the AUSX Open in Australia in November.
