2. HISTORY Mike Norris involvement in off road racing began many years ago when he worked as a checkpoint helper during the desert races. In 1986, Mike decided to give racing his full attention. He built and started competing in Class 5-1600 baja bugs in the SCORE series. Mikes sons, David and Michael, both grew up watching their Dad and became involved in both prepping and driving the car. The Team won the 1996 Championship Baja Promotions series in Class 5-1600 and in 2003 won the Championship for M.O.R.E. racing.
In 2000, the team added a Class 10 race car to their line up. In 2001, they were second place runner-up in the M.O.R.E. series. After 2 years of racing their class 10, they decided to upgrade to a new vehicle and started building their current Class 10 race car. Several years of hard work and determination paid off and the car was finally ready to race by the end of 2006.
Over the years, Team Norris has entered races throughout Southern California, Southern Nevada, Arizona and Baja California with promoters HDRA, La Rana, MDR, SUDS, and Baja Promotions. This year, the Team is racing the HDRA series and will be racing all of their events throughout Southern California and Nevada.
