LOS ANGELES--Hoping to develop a motorsports festival to rival the neon
glow of the famed Southern Nevada mega-resorts nearby, race organizers have
announced an ambitious ancillary event schedule for July’s Inaugural SCORE
Henderson’s Terrible 250 desert race. Final details of the race-week schedule
(July 10-14) include a major charity event, an off-road show, three concerts,
a Fireworks show, a pit crew challenge, and a parade of entries.
SCORE International, the Los Angeles-based desert racing sanctioning
body, is producing the newest SCORE race, Round 4 of the six-race 2002 SCORE
Desert Series, America’s Foremost Desert Racing Series. The motorsports
extravaganza will be held on the outskirts of Henderson, Nev., the growing
city on the southeast side of Las Vegas.
“Our goal since the concept of this event was developed, has been that
the SCORE Henderson’s Terrible 250 will become one of the top motorsports
events held annually in the Silver State,” said Bud Pico, Manager, Tourism
and Sales for the Henderson Convention Center and Visitors Bureau. “We
believe we’re off to a great start.”
Race week ancillary events will start with the SCORE Charity Showdown on
Wednesday, July 10 and finish on Saturday, July 13 with the SCORE Checkered
Flag Fiesta.
A benefit for the Henderson Allied Community Advocates (H.A.C.A.), the
July 10 charity event will start at Terrible’s Town Henderson with a bowling
tourney for children and racers before moving to the Hyatt Regency at Lake
Las Vegas for a silent auction and a slot tournament.
The July 13 SCORE Checkered Flag Fiesta will be held from 8 p.m. to 2
a.m. at the Fiesta-Henderson Hotel/Casino. Featuring the music of the popular
Henderson-based Sundogs group, race highlight videos will be shown and the $5
per person admission includes one beverage.
“All of these added attractions will help enhance the visibility of our
sport to the public as well as helping make the SCORE Henderson’s Terrible
250 quickly impact the special events environment of Southern Nevada,” said
Sal Fish, long-time CEO and President of SCORE International. “We are all
truly excited to get out of the dirt for some wonderful opportunities to help
the public learn more about SCORE International while getting to know our
talented and dedicated SCORE racers even more.”
Pre-race festivities on Thursday, July 11, will start with a special
VIP/Media Course Tour, escorted by racers, in the morning before moving to
Terrible’s Hotel/Casino. A meet the racers/vehicle display (4 p.m.-6 p.m.)

concert and firework’s show (6 p.m.-10 p.m.).

in downtown Henderson. During the day, the SCORE Manufacturer’s Midway,
safety inspection of all race vehicles and the Water Street Off-Road Expo
will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The SCORE Pit Crew Challenge (5:30
p.m.-6:30 p.m.), with separate competition for car, truck, motorcycle and ATV
teams, will precede the free SCORE Henderson Terrible’s 250 Tommy Rocker
Concert. The concert, to be held at Henderson’s Police Park, will start at
7:30 p.m.
The SCORE Parade of Entries will be held at noon on Saturday (July 13),
with all car and truck entries slowing moving from downtown Henderson
approximately five miles to the main pits.

during race day, Saturday, July 13. With only limited parking in the main
spectator area at the start/finish line, the $5 SCORE Shuttle Service pass
provides unlimited roundtrip service to the area located approximately three
miles from the Fiesta, which has ample parking.
With a unique co-sponsorship from the Henderson (Nevada) Convention and
Visitors Bureau along with Southern Nevada-based Herbst Gaming, the SCORE
Henderson’s Terrible 250 will be a 5-lap open desert race run over a
challenging course of nearly 50 miles on Saturday, July 13, between Nevada
State Highway 93 and the McCullough Mountains. The start/finish line
spectator area will be located behind Black Mountain at the end of Horizon
Ridge Road. The nearly 190 expected entries will compete in one of 23 Pro
classes and 5 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs.
Among the more high-profile teams will be Terrible Herbst Motorsports,
which features the driving of brothers Ed, Tim and Troy Herbst, is one of the
most prominent teams in SCORE racing. Ed, 41, and Tim, 39, split driving time
as two-time season champions in the featured SCORE Trophy-Truck division
while Troy, 35, has won a record five consecutive SCORE season championships
in the unlimited Class 1 division.
The schedule for the elapsed-time race (July 13) will have the
motorcycles and ATVs leave the start line beginning at 6 a.m. and the cars
and trucks hitting the desert starting at 3 p.m. in the afternoon. With
vehicles starting one every 20 seconds, all vehicles will have 8 hours to

The fastest vehicles in each part of the race will be expected to
complete the race in just over four hours. Nearly 40 entries from the
Southern Nevada area are expected to be a part of the first major desert race
held this close to metropolitan Las Vegas in over a decade.
Besides over 200 SCORE personnel, also assisting with staff for the
event will be the Henderson Rotary Club, who will handle the food and
beverage concessions, along with representatives from D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse
Resistance Education), who will coordinate the start/finish line spectator
