Trophy Trucks
The Trophy Truck class is the only one that has to qualify – one lap fast time for starting position on Saturday. It gives the spectators a chance to see the truck before most of it’s body work is left laying around the course and whatever is left is covered in dust and mud! These vehicles are truely brutes around 5000 lbs, 800 to 1000 HP, close to 30 inches of suspension travel and costing in the $250-$300K range. These trucks are not for the feint of heart or with small check books.
The overall winner for the weekend was Brian McMillin, grandson of Corky and nephew of Mark. ‘Back In The Day’ Mark and Corky were the major driving force in SCORE. Their Porche powered Class 1 cars ruled the desert from Nevada to the tip of Baja. It is really good to see the family back at it again. Brian is proving that the fruit never falls far from the tree. Mark also ran in this class, but was not as competitive as in the past. If I am not mistaken the McMillins had around 6 vehicles entered in the Desert Challenge this year.
