Biography

Competing in the grueling Class 11 division, this Iowa-based desert racer has established himself as a determined competitor in SCORE International's premier off-road racing series. Based out of Robins, Iowa, Diaz brings Midwest grit to the unforgiving terrain of Baja California, where he campaigns his VW-powered machine against some of the most challenging desert courses in North America.

His SCORE career includes notable entries in multiple San Felipe 250 and Baja 500 events, where he has consistently lined up against fierce competition in the highly competitive Class 11 category. The class, known for its air-cooled VW engines and lightweight chassis, demands both mechanical reliability and strategic racing, qualities that have kept Diaz returning to the peninsula year after year.

Racing in SCORE events requires significant dedication, with competitors traveling thousands of miles to tackle courses that can stretch over 500 miles through some of Mexico's most remote and challenging terrain. Diaz's commitment to the sport exemplifies the passion that drives racers from across North America to test themselves against the desert's ultimate challenge, representing the heartland racing spirit on Baja's demanding courses.
