Matlock kick off the 2009 SCORE season with
a win on their Honda TRX 700XX |
San Felipe, Mexico (3/16/2009)
– On March 13, 2009 the #1A American Honda
team of Wayne Matlock, Harold Goodman and Josh Caster
won the Tecate Score San Felipe 250 Overall ATV
Win.
The #1A Honda team headed to the race determined
to take the win and continue their winning streak
from last year’s dominating performance
at this year’s San Felipe 250. The team
would be riding the Honda TRX700XX for the first
year in San Felipe. The race would run the same
course as last year but each teammate spent time
running their section of the course multiple times.
The course included everything from sand washes
and rocky canyons to large whooped out sections
as it made it’s way around Baja.
Matlock, who started was third quad off the line
and would ride to race mile 25. Fighting dust
and swarming crowds, Matlock rode his first section
through the famous Zoo Road Crossing at a fast
steady pace holding his position.
Goodman took the quad from Matlock at race mile
25 and continued around his section of the course
into the big sandy whoops of Borrego and down
Diablo Dry Lake. Along the way Goodman was able
to take the lead before handing the quad off to
Caster at race mile 93.

by 3 minutes thanks to Goodman and continued the
fast pace set by his other teammates. Caster’s
section included the famous desolate and rocky

at race mile 170. Before handing the quad off
to Matlock, Caster was able to gain another 6
minutes to the lead.

Matlock would continue on the quad from race
mile 170 to the finish. Matlock’s last section
of the race course included the rock filled whoops
of the Azufre and Huatamote Washes before heading
back towards San Felipe. Matlock continued the
fast pace the team set early in the race and would
gain another 6 and ½ minutes before crossing
the finish line.
The team’s time of 5:16:36 (44.04 mph)
was 15 and ½ minutes faster than the 2nd
Place Pro ATV team of Felipe Velez, a local team
of San Felipe aboard a Honda TRX450R. Team Honda’s
time was good enough to take the win in the Pro
ATV class as well as the Overall ATV win
