olton Udall knew he was
in trouble when he hit the
ground while pre-running
just a few days leading up to
the Baja 1000. "As soon as I
landed, I knew that I broke my
collarbone," he said of Tuesday's
crash. "It was pretty painful."
Normally, one does not race
with a broken collarbone, espe-
cially when the race is as long
and grueling as the SCORE
Baja 1000.
But with SCORE rules the way

either start or finish a race in
order to be eligible for points.

Honda team on the 1X bike had
won the previous three rounds
in the SCORE World Desert
Championship, they did have a
good points lead going into fourth
and final race: the 49th SCORE
Baja 1000.
