AMEX Reports; "SCORE fails Civil Protection functions in the states, Baja California & Baja Sur, of the peninsula Baja Mexico."
"Both governors, interviewed by AMEX, expressed dismay over the inadequate efforts by the SCORE International company and Roger Norman, personally.
Even before the passing of 'SCORE Mexico' owner Oscar Ramos, the Civil Protection directorates in Baja California and Baja Sur were expressing public outrage over the continuous civil protection failures of SCORE International.
After Roger Norman purchased SCORE from Sal Fish, Oscar's relationship in the company changed. After Ramos untimely passing, the situation became far worse.
Both governors told AMEX of continuous unmet assurances of SCORE resources and personnel dedicated to safety, civil protection and race medical response for the Baja race events."
Spectator deaths became rampant. Racer deaths became more common. Press reports of property damages and injury reports from endless participant crashes are now found throughout publicity during and after SCORE race events.
The Civil Protection offices in Mexicali, Ensenada, Tijuana and La Paz are now convinced Roger Norman is at the center of the protection failures.
The Civil Protection Chief for the State of Baja California (recently retired) told AMEX, "all our information told us SCORE was not being honest with us." "They knew we needed more resources, yet they continued to stonewall our attempts to collaborate with the Race sanction."
At the most recent Ensenada race event, an American child was run over and killed. Roger Norman had allowed the green flag to start a race, that should have never been allowed to begin.
The race course was mis-marked, there were inadequate spectator controls and the worst. A racer was allowed to race, who was driving in an altered state.
For the 2016 Baja 1000, the Baja goverment has decided to employ the military. Roger Norman has been completely disassociated from the governments new civil protections plans.
