LOS ANGELES—SCORE International announced today that the 2012 SCORE Awards Night, honoring the world’s foremost desert racing series, is returning to Southern California for the third consecutive year and will be held Saturday, Jan. 12 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Spa in Newport Beach, Calif.
At the lavish Hyatt Regency, located in the heart of Orange Country near Balboa Island, nearly 400 SCORE racers, family, friends, crews, sponsors and media will bask in the Southern California sunshine as the SCORE Awards Night will honor the 39-year history and fame of the name which is the standard for desert racing worldwide.
This year will mark the first time that the annual SCORE Awards Night has been held at the posh Hyatt Regency and the fourth time the historic evening has been held in Southern California since 2000, when it was held at Joe’s Garage automotive museum in Tustin, Calif. It was held in Irvine, Calif., each of the last two years.
“We are sincerely appreciative of the efforts of Eric Morley and Blue C advertising in not only helping to secure the venue as well as once again committing their professional resources to produce the evening,” said Sal Fish, the SCORE CEO/President who has been part of the desert racing organization for nearly four decades. “This will be our first time at the Hyatt Regency and it will be a fitting environment to honor the achievements of the world’s greatest desert racers.”
In addition to the special SCORE Achievement Awards and the 36 Pro, 6 Sportsman class champions and three overall point champions who will be honored in at the Hyatt Regency, another highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the annual SCORE Off-Roadsman Awards.
Individuals as well as manufacturers and organizations are honored through 11 distinct awards, whose winners are decided by several thousand SCORE fans through online voting including the entire SCORE membership of more than 2,000. Among the awards to be presented are MasterCraft Safety SCORE Rookie of the year, SCORE Contingency Company of the year, SCORE Pit Support Team of the year, SCORE Mechanic of the year and SCORE Person of the year.
Another element of the diverse program will be the presentation of the SCORE Toyota Milestone Awards. As it has for 27 years, the coveted Toyota Milestone Awards are presented to those drivers in four-wheel vehicle classes who finish every required mile of the 2012 SCORE Desert Series.
The evening will include a colorful video/photographic tribute to the 2012 SCORE Desert Series produced by Blue C Advertising, highlighting the still photography of Trackside Photo.
A pre-awards reception will start the festivities at 6 p.m., followed by the dinner, a special tribute to the 2012 SCORE season and presentations at 7 p.m.
