RENO, NV NOVEMBER 30, 2010 The Torchmate Racing team ran the #601 Truck in the 2010 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 and gave back to the community participating in the Baja Support Run IV at a local orphanage. Their race was cut short, but the Baja experience is irreplaceable. “It’s Baja, and it’s racing. If it was easy everyone would do it,” shrugged team manager JT Taylor. “The team put a valiant effort into the entire race, and we were bit by a mechanical problem that was insolvable in the middle of the desert.”
The Torchmate team took on a new look and growl for the 2010 race with a fresh wrap and exhaust system. The truck looked fast with a bright Torchmate Plasma Arc flying down the side, a special design by Bill Brindle of B3 Kreativ, Editor of Dirt Sports Magazine Marty Fiolka and Torchmate Team Owner Bill Kunz. Also before the race, both the Class 6 truck and the chase Ford Raptors were upgraded with a Magnaflow Exhaust “that significantly helped with the tone and performance of the trucks,” commented JT Taylor.
