Newport Beach, CA - #524
Make: JFW Model: 5U Engine: GM Engine Builder: Redline Chassis: Jake's Fabworks Transmission: DFT
A proven competitor in SCORE's Class 5 Unlimited division, this Newport Beach racer has established himself as a consistent podium contender across Baja's most challenging terrain. His breakthrough came in 2018 when he captured the SCORE Baja 1000 class championship, conquering the legendary peninsula race that tests both man and machine across 1,000 miles of unforgiving desert.
That same season demonstrated his versatility and speed, earning a third-place class finish at the historic SCORE Baja 500. Racing alongside co-driver Pete Swift in their #524 JFW-Chevy, they battled through the notorious silt and dust conditions that claimed half the field, with only three of six starters managing to reach the finish line.
His elite-level competitiveness was reaffirmed in 2021 with a second-place class finish at the SCORE Baja 1000, proving his championship run wasn't a fluke. These podium performances in desert racing's premier events showcase the consistency and determination required to excel in Class 5 Unlimited competition, where Baja Bugs face some of the sport's most demanding conditions across Mexico's Baja Peninsula.
The popular Unlimited Class 5 brought out several competitors with upgraded engines for more power. Finishing first was Don Chase in the No. 523 car with co-drivers Travis Chase, Jake Lauxen, and Errol Hamlin. Read More
