A dedicated competitor in the SCORE Lites division, this Mexicali-based racer has established himself as a formidable presence in VW-powered desert racing. Competing in the challenging 1600cc and 1835cc SCORE Lites class, he has consistently fielded competitive entries at Baja's most prestigious events, including the legendary Baja 1000.

Racing alongside co-drivers Javier Buelna Sr. and Luvian Volker in a Curry-built chassis, the team represents the strong cross-border racing tradition that defines Baja competition. Based in the border region of Mexicali, Baja California, he brings deep knowledge of the desert terrain that has proven crucial in navigating the punishing courses of the Baja Peninsula.
