Kickoff! - 2006 SCORE Off Road Season
After frying a race-tuned 3L V-6 during a heartbreaking Baja 1000 (see "How to Win a War," Apr. '06), John Holmes and Mark Landersman decided to try a stock 4.0 SOHC engine instead. The 4.0 is bigger than the 3L displacement limit in Class 7s, so Holmes and Landersman jumped into Class 7sx, which allows engine displacement up to 4.3 liters. A set of JBA headers helped make the most of the impressive, out-of-the-box SOHC V-6. On the last lap of day two, the temperature gauge pegged. Since Number 743 was in First Place with an eleven-minute class lead and the finish line wasn't far away, they decided to go for it, only to have the engine fry 150 yards from the finish line within sight of the checkered flag. More heartbreak. This team has experienced tremendous success in the past, and with two DNFs in a row, is hungrier than ever to pull off a win. Stay tuned. View Related Article
