#SCOREBaja400
Tyler Lynn, 25, Mona, Utah, and Carter Klein, 20, Agua Dulce, Calif., of the Slam Life Racing team emerged as the overall winners of the 6th SCORE Baja 400, Round 3 of the 2025 SCORE World Desert Championship, held this week in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. The duo completed the challenging 425.41-mile race course in 8 hours, 28 minutes, and 7 seconds.
This marks their third consecutive victory of the 2025 season in the Pro Moto Unlimited class, aboard the No. 7x Honda CRF450X SLR/Honda, solidifying their bid for another championship title on Mexican soil.
Just one year ago, Tyler Lynn, alongside Justin Morgan, also clinched the overall victory at the SCORE Baja 400, successfully defending his crown in the event affectionately known as ‘The Cinderella of the Pacific’. The Honda brand continues its dominant presence in SCORE competition throughout the season.
At the finish line located on Ensenada’s Boulevard Costero, Lynn reflected on the team’s success in Mexico: “We had an amazing race day. There was a small crash around mile 190. I can’t thank SCORE enough for putting on an incredible race, and I’m grateful to all the staff and everyone involved in organizing these events.”
Hero Racing secured second place overall and in the Pro Moto Unlimited class, thanks to the efforts of Shane Logan, 24, Lake Havasu City, Ariz. and Ciaran Naran, 25, Huntington Beach, Calif. They stepped up following an injury to Arturo Salas Jr, 23, Chula Vista, Calif. (Tecate, Mexico), who supported his teammates from the sidelines. The team competed aboard the No. 1x Honda CRF450X.
