SAN FELIPE — Looking to add to his record-setting class win total, SoCal’s veteran age-group motorcycle racer Jim O’Neal will ride in two classes to lead 64 racers who have combined for 159 class wins among nearly 200 racers entered in Saturday’s 28th Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 desert race.

O’Neal, 67, the noted apparel manufacturer from Simi Valley, will be an additional rider in both Class 30 and Class 60 in the season-opener of the five-race 2014 SCORE World Desert Championship series.

The SCORE season opener will be held in Mexico’s picturesque fishing village of San Felipe, located 125 miles south of the U.S. border on the East side of the Baja California peninsula along the azure waters of the tranquil Sea of Cortez.

With late entries accepted up to 5 p.m. Friday, the 274-mile race has attracted nearly 200 entries from 25 U.S. states and 10 countries ready to compete in 35 Pro and 6 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs in the popular “spring break” race.

The starting grid includes 25 entries in SCORE Trophy Truck, the marquee racing division for hi-tech, 850-horsepower unlimited production trucks.
