Biography

Making his mark in SCORE International's innovative Electric Vehicle division, this Tijuana-based racer has emerged as a pioneering force in the future of desert racing technology. Rodriguez has dedicated himself to advancing EV capabilities in the grueling Baja desert environment, tackling the engineering challenges that come with electric-powered unlimited off-road vehicles.

His most notable campaign came during the 2018 SCORE Baja 500, where he piloted the #E402 entry in the groundbreaking Baja-E class for single or two-seat electric powered unlimited 4-wheel vehicles. Working alongside electrical systems specialist Molly Vermeer, Rodriguez spent months preparing the sophisticated software systems required for desert racing's most technologically demanding class. The team's innovative approach included a strategic battery replacement system every 50 miles, with crew members recharging battery packs in their support truck between pit stops.

While the 2018 Baja 500 resulted in a DNF for the ambitious electric project, Rodriguez's efforts represent the cutting edge of SCORE's technological evolution. His commitment to developing electric vehicle technology in desert racing helps pave the way for the possible future of off-road competition, positioning him as a true innovator in Mexican motorsports.
