Building his reputation in the challenging deserts of Baja California, Ricardo Villafana has established himself as a formidable competitor in SCORE International's premier off-road racing series. The Calexico-based racer captured significant attention with his impressive third-place class finish at the legendary 2022 SCORE Baja 1000, earning a coveted podium position in the world's most grueling desert race.
Villafana's achievement at the Baja 1000 demonstrates his ability to navigate the extreme terrain and demanding conditions that define SCORE desert racing. The 2022 race tested competitors across the peninsula's most challenging landscapes, from the crystalline salt flats of El Salar to the rugged mountain passes that separate the Pacific from the Sea of Cortez. His podium finish places him among an elite group of racers who have conquered this ultimate test of endurance and skill.
Operating from the border city of Calexico, Villafana brings a deep understanding of Baja's unique terrain and conditions to his racing program. His proven performance at the sport's highest level positions him as a serious contender in future SCORE events, representing the next generation of desert racing talent emerging from Southern California's competitive off-road scene.
