Honda Ridgeline Baja Race Truck Wins Again at Baja 500
- Honda Ridgeline Baja Race #truck captures fourth consecutive Class 7 win
- Fifth Ridgeline Class 7 Baja 500 victory in last six years
The Honda Off-Road #racing Team returned to #bajacalifornia this weekend, and continued its string of Baja 500 successes with another Class 7 victory at the iconic off-road race. The impressive result was the fourth consecutive class win for the Ridgeline Baja Race #truck, and the fifth for the Honda Ridgeline in the last six years.
Once again competing in Class 7, for unlimited V6-powered race trucks, the Honda Ridgeline duo of team owner/driver #jeffproctor and Pat Dailey faced a single-loop course of 466 miles, starting and ending in the coastal city of Ensenada. A total of 243 entries took part in this year's 25th running of the #event.
Quote
Jeff Proctor (team owner/driver Ridgeline Baja Race Truck) won Class 7 for unlimited V6 Trucks; fourth consecutive Baja 500 race win for Honda: “This was a very fast, yet very technical Baja 500, demanding as always. It was extremely dusty, with many single-track lines that didn't really allow for passing. But the entire Honda Off-Road #racing Team was on fire today, thanks once again to everyone for all of their effort and hard work, it all paid off for us once again.”
Fast Fact
- Making approximately 550 horsepower, HPD's 3.5-liter HR35TT engine uses the same block and cylinder heads as the production V6 that powers the production Ridgeline. Additional, custom elements of the powertrain include an HPD-designed intake plenum and custom Engine Control Unit programming.
Next
The Honda Off-Road #racing Team next travels to the desert of Nevada for the 25th anniversary Maxxis Tires “Casey Folks” Vegas to Reno off-road race, August 11-15, starting in Las Vegas and running north to Reno, Nevada.
