“San Felipe has always been a very popular race on the SCORE Baja racing schedule and it adds something even more special to our 25th anniversary of the event to be holding it in memory of our dear friend Pepe Limon,” said Sal Fish, SCORE CEO/President since soon after SCORE was founded in 1973. “Pepe was our go-to guy in Mexico for many years and while he hasn’t been active for the last several years, he certainly helped lay the foundation for the great relationships we continue to enjoy to this day with the government, ejidos and the people of Mexico, especially in Baja California.”
