August 25, 2003 BFGoodrich® Tires Trackside -- Weekly Racing Update Greenville, S.C. Each week, BFGoodrich® Tires provides highlights of the past week's racing including oval, road, drag racing and various off-road series results. In addition, This Week at BFGoodrich Tires highlights upcoming events. Best In The Desert BFGoodrich scored 11 class wins and took the overall victory at the Baja Mex 300 Best In The Desert race. One of the most interesting stories was Larry Roeseler's Unlimited Class 7 victory. Roeseler completed the entire 300-mile race on the same set of BFGoodrich Baja T/A® KR tires that he used to complete the recent Vegas To Reno race. "The Baja T/A KR has developed a reputation as a performer and survivor in off-road racing," said Jeff Cummings, off-road motorsports manager for BFGoodrich Tires. "More than 800 miles on one set of tires is a remarkable achievement considering the severity of the terrain at both courses." Visit Best In The Desert online at: http://www.bitd.com.
