Class of 2020 At age 8 Bob Bower read about the Bill Stroppe Lincoln teams that dominated the 1953 Mexican Carrera Panamericana and later learned about the Baja 1000 race to La Paz It became a fixation with him to be part of it someday Living the life of a Corvette enthusiast Bower caught the eye of BFGoodrich at a time when the Brand was in the early stages of marketing performance tires to car clubs He accepted the offer to go to work for BFG in 1977 and found himself at the Mint 400 as a pit volunteer The fixation transformed into a deep passion for off road From that day forward he would make a huge impact on the world of off road racing in a variety of roles Pit volunteer chase crew race team manager pit manager program manager winning co driver winning driver ESPN TV color analyst and teacher Bower s goal was to have a positive impact on whatever he was doing His philosophy of be alert listen to what people have to say and always use the truth served him well It was 1982 when BFGoodrich put him in the role of Off Road Program manager With very thin budget resources available the challenge was to provide support for the contracted teams and win races Bower s race strategy was very straightforward You start winning rather than finish winning He would make detailed maps of the race course highways and chase roads KM mileage included along with other information like fuel and food locations The chase crews knew at any given time they could drive to the correct chase road and how long the drive should take Teams raced with a higher degree of safety for their chase crews because of those maps In the early 1990s Bower turned the map making over to BFGoodrich in order to make it available to the masses By widely distributing the maps all of the chase crews could support their teams with a higher degree of safety Bob wrote What About You a powerful piece that has been included in almost all pit books over the past 20 years It remains fresh and relevant today because of its absolute raw truth What About You is Bob s heartfelt advice to everyone in off road about safety and taking care of yourself and those you are with during the race Many are convinced What About You has saved lives over the last two decades Bob says he was simply speaking from the heart Over the years Bob has shown his passion humility and wisdom They are matched only by his unshakeable ethic There have been many young racers who have been helped along their way by Bower He s always been a champion of the little guy Sometimes it s a quiet conversation sometimes a few hours of highway windshield time other times simply introducing them to others in the sport who could help them get better Young stars like Robby Gordon Ivan Stewart Jimmie Johnson Ryan Arciero and Rob MacCachren all have had Bob help them along in their racing career in one small way or another For Bob Bower it has been a labor of love I never wanted to change things in our sport I just wanted to do what I could to help it along Bob s personal motto is Life Is A One Lap Race He seems to be running a rather good lap Bower s vision was to establish a common direction on the race course and in the pits and bring all the teams into one big BFG team The direction we re heading is very very clear That is to be the best between the green and checkered flags Bower launched the BFGoodrich Pit Support program To this day the BFGoodrich Pits are arguably the most successful and widely used pit service in Off Road Desert Racing The 1985 Baja 1000 ended early for Bob and his teammate Mike Randall in the Class 4 Honcho when they got off course and lost ending up sunken to the frame in a tidal mud marsh It took two days for the team to find and retrieve them Bower swore and promised his wife Necia that we would never be lost like that again in Baja

some 40 years Jack amassed a staggering 23 SCORE HDRA and Best In The Desert event overall wins in a car truck or motorcycle A tremendous record no doubt but one that no one is surprised to acknowledge because even at an early age Jack s career was marked for greatness Born in California and raised in the Nevada desert under the tutelage of his father Bill Johnson Jack was thrown into the deep end of the racing pool at a very early age Traveling extensively throughout California and Nevada competing in every type of motorcycle competition imaginable against much older and more experienced riders he quickly developed a reputation as the upcoming young racer to watch As a teenager he quickly moved onto winning desert races overall his eyes firmly set on winning at the highest levels of sport From the late 60s through the 70s 80s and 90s Jack Johnson was a threat to win overall Jack made his first mark at the big races at the 1973 Mint 400 where he and partner Dave Laca put the off road motorcycle racing world on notice There they finished 2nd overall 1st 250cc motorcycle on a privately backed Yamaha owned by Pat Friel of Valley Cycle Sales crossing the line just behind the mighty factory Husqvarna team In 1975 once again riding for Valley Cycles and teamed with Mark Mason he shocked the motorcycling establishment winning the 1975 Mint 400 overall beating Team Husqvarna decisively In 1976 Jack claimed his first victory in Baja winning Class 21 with future brotherin law and fellow AMA Hall Of Famer Scot Harden as his partner In 1977 he joined Team Husqvarna

four overall wins at the legendary Cherry Creek Hare and Hound and Virginia City Grand Prix Last but not least Jack won the Baja 500 twice overall his second win in 1979 putting him in the record books as the only motorcycle racer ever to win the Baja 500 overall riding solo In the early 80 s Jack turned his attention to international competition representing the United States at the International Six Days Enduro where he brought home two medals including a Silver Medal in France in 1980 and a Gold Medal in Italy in 1981 Jack continued to race and win in Baja as part of the Chris Haines Baja race team well into his 50s dominating Class 30 and 40 turning times in the sections he rode that were comparable to the fastest times for the event overall As a result of his phenomenal career in motorcycle racing Jack was inducted into the American Motorcyclist Association Hall of Fame in 2016 Starting in the early 80s and while still at the top of the motorcycle world Jack began making forays into the world of off road car and truck racing and quickly proved to be just as dominant Racing for legendary car tuner Butch Dean Jack proved to be a quick study winning the 1980 Mint 400 overall in a Class 1 Unlimited car in his very first attempt In the process he became the first racer ever to win the Mint overall in both a car and on a motorcycle By 1986 Jack was racing trucks and in 1987 became the Driver of Record for Nissan s factory off road program In 1988 Jack rewarded Nissan with a win in Class 4 at the Mint 400 establishing another record as the only racer to win the legendary race in a car truck and motorcycle Jack s list of car truck victories alone put him at a level few other off road racers can match with 28 class and 14 overall wins in the four wheel division In addition he recorded three HDRA Class 1 Unlimited Series Championships and three SCORE Series Championships in trucks and motorcycles Known as a thinking man s racer Jack understood the need to properly set up and test his equipment before each race especially when it came to setting up the handling package on his race vehicle Gifted with an innate ability to read terrain develop a winning race strategy and having incredible stamina to go the distance often solo these qualities presented a formidable combination regardless of the machine or type of race involved Add in his indomitable spirit and will to win and you have all the ingredients necessary to dominate your sport Only a very small handful of elite racers ever have adapted to such a wide variety of racing equipment disciplines and conditions so successfully as Jack Johnson Today Jack is still riding and recreating off road on his beloved KTM 300 He s heavily involved with the legendary Nevada 200 Trailride and serves as a trail boss and ambassador for the event which raises thousands of dollars for the rural communities in Lincoln County Nevada Photo credit DS Media LLC SCORE Journal

Class of 2020 When the name Mears is mentioned in the motorsports industry Rick s name is the first to come to mind for most racing enthusiasts and competitors Only three drivers Rick Mears A J Foyt and Al Unser have captured the Indianapolis 500 four times But ask Rick who was one of his greatest drivers for him to race with and watch and he ll talk about his older brother Roger who was one of the top drivers in off road history and one of the most well rounded racers in all forms of four wheel competition In addition to his phenomenal off road racing statistics Roger Mears also drove in 31 IndyCar Series races including two Indy 500s and recorded 17 Top 10 finishes Roger also drove stock cars sprint cars midgets and other racing vehicles in various divisions Roger won a remarkable twenty World Off Road Championships at the historic Riverside International Raceway He also has four Baja 1000 wins five Pikes Peak International Hill Climbs two HDRA SCORE series titles and a Mickey Thompson Stadium Series Truck crown leaving no doubt that the older Mears brother had a spectacular racing career Roger and Rick Mears who started in go karts and motorcycles began to establish their racing lore in the tight Ascot Park Sprint Buggy action in the early 1970s and it continued at Riverside Pikes Peak and in the desert The Bakersfield California brother duo had followed their father Bill in racing and also followed him to the winner s circle Bill was a very successful stock car racer in Wichita Kansas before moving his family to California for better business opportunities But the boys showed their talent had exceeded Bill s impressive abilities After various wins in short course and desert racing Roger s brother Rick moved to road racing and the famed open wheel triumphs that included three IndyCar Series championship and four Indy 500 wins Meanwhile Roger was driving anything and everything he could in the desert short course dirt and pavement ovals and later followed Rick into IndyCars Competing full time in only two IndyCar campaigns Roger put together strong showings despite driving second hand equipment His peers knew that as well and named him Most Improved Driver in 1983 With the shortage of good IndyCar rides Roger returned to his roots in offroad racing and continued his sensational Riverside performances many wins in the Mickey Thompson Stadium series and started his own racing operation with Nissan Budweiser and Bridgestone partnerships The Mears name was winning on the pavement with Rick and in the dirt with Roger Roger even learned the tough life of race promoting i e Mickey Thompson Walt Lott and Sal Fish etc with the Mears Gang Rumble in Bakersfield in 1984 One of the more remarkable Roger Mears stories dates back to 1980 when he flipped a midget car at Ascot Park and broke both arms Doctors advised him to rest but the Baja 1000 was coming in a few weeks and Roger was battling for the series title So the doctors decided on surgery with plates in Roger s arms Mears with help from his dad driving too drove 70 percent of the race and finished the 1000 miles He took the SCORE Class 3 series title in the famed Budweiser Jeep Honcho the same machine which won 12 of 22 races in a three year period Roger says that More horsepower equals more fun refering to the trophy truck he raced in 1995 that made 800 to 900 horsepower Roger added There s nothing more fun than that except more horsepower In recent years Roger and his wife Carol have retired in Mexico after following their son Casey who competed in the NASCAR Cup stock car series for more than a decade They also spend time visiting with Roger s dad Bill in their hometown of Bakersfield California

Class of 2020 Born October 12 1955 Cal Wells began his motorized journey in 1968 by cleaning auto parts at an engine rebuilding shop in Westminster California He quickly became enamored with how engines and automobiles operated and kept that passion for learning about cars throughout high school In fact when he graduated from school Cal s yearbook included his senior salutation stating his plans to Race the Baja 500 The Baja 1000 The Daytona 500 and the Indy 500 Overall I plan to race race and then race some more And so it came to pass and in a very big way By 1972 Cal was helping a neighbor prep a Ford truck for the Baja 500 The owner was Bill Deterlie who was running his truck through Bill Stroppe Racing in nearby Signal Hill California Soon after he started volunteering at Stroppe s shop and became friends with many of the mechanics machinists and fabricators who worked there In 1973 Cal bought a flood damaged Ford Bronco from North Dakota brought it home and stripped it to the bare frame in the family garage He rebuilt it into a race ready class 3 for the Mint 400 With his entire family working as his pit crew the car was pulled from the race after nine hours of racing While Cal was upset at the result the hook had been set and the Wells family was going racing For Cal Wells and his PPI powerhouse that aspiration became a reality in 1983 thanks to a relationship with Toyota that still exists today Their allconquering off road racing campaigns lasted until the historic 2000 SCORE Baja 1000 but still represent the strongest partnership the sport has ever seen That s not empty hyperbole but an enviable fact based on world class execution a dynamic evolution toward technology and most importantly getting a Toyota truck to the finish line before anyone else Unfortunately for their competition they did it better and for longer than everybody else as well One need only look at the record books The PPI Toyota juggernaut earned 88 total major off road race victories 14 total off road Manufacturer s Championships and 11 off road Driver s Championships In order to achieve that Wells demanded greatness from all aspects of the operation especially from himself To Cal there was only one barometer of ultimate achievement and that was winning by doing whatever was necessary His reputation of perfection led to the Toyota factory opportunity which resulted in lots of hard earned luck along the way Auto racing s most famous team owner once observed that luck is when preparation meets opportunity In almost every way Roger Penske s insight mirrors the backstory to Cal Wells III Cal rebuilt the Bronco and raced the Baja 500 with his father as his co driver Sadly Cal was injured while riding as a passenger in a street accident ending his days of driving competitively But he turned his energy to building race cars for others including his brother and father Like Penske did in the early 1970s Cal amplified the entire narrative of what the top rung of off road motorsports can represent No other effort in the history of the sport has ever reached the levels of preparation execution and presentation than Cal Wells and his Precision Preparation organization By November of 1979 Wells officially opened a small race shop in Westminster It was still more of a hobby shop but one of Cal s first customers was off road legend Joe MacPherson Soon Tommy Morris arrived with his old Class 8 followed by Frank Scoop Vessels Bob Gordon and Charlotte Corral During this time Cal also worked for MacPherson and ORMHOF inductee and off road pioneer Drino Miller Precision Preperation Inc was born Looking back that high school salutation wasn t a dream but a direct road map to the Off Road Motorsports Hall of Fame Inside Terrible s Hotel Casino 1 Main Street Jean NV Just South of Las Vegas on the I 15 Always open Admission is free Eventually PPI moved to a huge state of the art complex in Rancho Santa Margarita California and Cal Wells and company eventually expanded their reach to include winning Toyota s Indy Car and NASCAR programs as well as running the Toyota Motorsports garage While every racer s dream is to somehow someway obtain and hold the title of factory team that achievement also carries with it an unwavering and universal reality It s all about winning
