Similar Classes in Other Race Organizations While SCORE is the oldest and best known race promoter, there are several others organizations that promote and sanction desert or off-road racing in different geographical locations. The "Best In The Desert" organization runs a series of point-to-point races in the Nevada desert. The unlimited Baja Bug class in BITD is called "Class 5000 Unlimited Baja" and has similar, though not identical, rules. Many competitors compete in races sponsored by several sanctioning organizations in a single season, so builders often try to build cars that are legal in several race series, such as SCORE and BITD.
