Moses Returns to His Desert Roots

The 48th BudLight Score BAJA 1000 - November 20-21, 2015


Now a days, Moses Smith happily goes to work every day as the manufacturer of the popular open-wheel racecar known as the Formula Mazda. As the owner of Texas Autosports, a full-service Formula Mazda Racecar prep shop, Moses continues to “live the dream.”

Moses talks to his parents
after a Baja Race in the 1980s
What most fans do not realize is that Moses’ dream was born in the early 1980s. He was on a 'pit crew' by the time he was just three years old. He and his father, Paul would work long hours at the race shop of Off-Road Racer Malcolm Vinje*. There he learned all about desert racing by working on the Baja 1000 Class 5 and then Class 7S race machines.

Moses’ family outings in the Southern California deserts further his interest. The thrill of his own three-wheeler and his father’s dune buggy fueled Moses’ love for going fast.

Unbelievably, before the age of ten, Moses had progress in his race crew duties to include driving the chase vehicles from checkpoint to checkpoint solo. The youngster’s feet could barely touch the Baja Bug’s pedals, but that did not discourage him as he focused on pushing that clutch in far enough to shift smoothly.

“Off road racing was my first love, that’s what I wanted to do when I grew up.” Moses recalled. “I have had been very fortunate to have driven a lot of different racecars over the years, but Off Road racing and Baja has always eluded me. It has been on my list for as long as I can remember. I am pumped to finally get my chance in the dirt!”

Moses Smith began his racing career in the extremely competitive Southern California Karting Region. Moses clearly set himself apart from his competition both on and off the track. Winning the California State Championship and the SDKA Junior Sportsman Championship proved his on track abilities, while also holding the prestigious title of the youngest member of the famed San Diego Karting Association Board of Directors.

and Michael McDowell (right) -- at Road Atlanta 2003
With karting accomplishments in hand, Moses worked to further his motorsports goals. Moses moved into full size race cars the hard way. As a mechanic for the Skip Barber Racing School and other prominent professional race teams, the young driver was able to learn the intricacies of the sport while biding his time to get behind the wheel.

The opportunity was not far off. In 2000, Moses got his career break competing in a limited schedule of Formula Mazda (FM) events. Moses parleyed that limited schedule into become one of the top Formula Mazda drivers on the pro circuit.

In 2002, Moses missed winning the North American Star Mazda Pro Series, by just one point. However, he won the Star Mazda West Coast Championship. In 2003, Moses tested in the Toyota Atlantic car and entered an Infiniti Pro Series event.

Never one to stay stagnant, Moses became a Star Mazda team owner in 2004. He opened his own online store in January of 2006.

In September 2009, Moses acquired all support and manufacturing rights for the approximately 300 Formula Mazda rotary-powered race cars currently in use across North America, as well as the MSR sports racer, a full-bodied version of the FM.

From 2007 to 2011, Moses competed in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West. He finished third in the championship points standing his last season. Further, he was voted the series Most Popular Driver in four consecutive years!


Moses Smith sits in his #16 Hasa Pool Products K&N Pro Series West car.

Moses’ long history in the sport of racing has not dampened his excitement and eagerness.

“Over my career as a driver I’ve had some pretty amazing teammates, but we were there on business. This race I am paired with a couple of very special team mates. The Entwistle, father and son team, have been racing Formula Mazda with me over the past year.” Moses stated enthusiastically. “We were learning, and chasing a championship, although we had fun, there was still a serious undertone. This race we get to have FUN, and experience something that only an elite few have done before. Don’t get me wrong…we ARE going to win our class…haha or have a blast trying to anyway”

You can follow Moses and the team as their #1409 Sportsman 1400 competes in the 48th Baja 1000 by following it via live streaming at http://score-international.com/baja-1000. The challenging course will start and finish in Ensenada.

The Escondido Tamale Festival
-Not So Hot

by Stacey Kuhns


The Escondido Tamale Festival-Not So Hot by Stacey Kuhns

On Saturday, November 14, 2015, my friend and I decided to check out the Escondido Tamale Festival in Grape Day Park.

The Escondido Tamale Festival-Not So Hot by Stacey Kuhns

The Escondido Tamale Festival-Not So Hot by Stacey Kuhns


The promoters had done quite a bit of advertising for this event so we were expecting it to be pretty amazing. We were greatly disappointed. The event was set up very poorly.

The food and drink booths were inside a chain link fence, a small area. There were approximately five vendors selling tamales and the rest were selling other food and drink items, including alcohol. The area for all of this was very small. The lines were extremely long and you could not tell which line went to which booth unless you followed it all the way to the front.

We first tried two kinds of tamales at the truck with the longest line. A green chili tamale and a red pork tamale. They looked good.

The Escondido Tamale Festival-Not So Hot by Stacey Kuhns

Unfortunately, the green chili tamale was extremely dry-seemed like it had not been steamed long enough. The red pork tamale was good, but not fantastic.

I was really expecting to be blown away by the tamales and I have had a number of homemade tamales over the years. My friend bought some last month from a lady selling them in a grocery store parking lot, $1.50 each, and they were delicious. These were $3 each and not worth the money.

The Escondido Tamale Festival-Not So Hot by Stacey Kuhns

We then tried the lobster tamales which a number of people were raving about. $6.50 each. They were better than the others, but still, did not knock my socks off. Most all of the food booths had only two people working so the lines moved very slowly. I heard from another friend who attended the festival who was also not impressed and commented on the long lines.

The Escondido Tamale Festival-Not So Hot by Stacey Kuhns

The tamales were made by a food truck group that was on Shark Tank and a number of other shows. They also had lobster rolls (about $15 each and small, which we decided not to try) and other seafood items.

The Escondido Tamale Festival-Not So Hot by Stacey Kuhns

In the largest area of the park, they had set up vendors selling shirts and other items, as well as insurance companies, banks, etc. Hardly anyone was visiting these booths, yet they were given the largest area. It did not make sense. Also, for those who are familiar with Grape Day Park, it is known for a large population of the homeless. It appears law enforcement had cleared the park, for the most part, for the festival.

The best part of the entire festival was not the food, but the children dancers. They were adorable and fun to watch. Would I ever go back? Negative.
