IMR Racing Takes on the 58th SCORE Baja 1000 in 2025!

5 Riders. 1,000+ Miles. 1 Mission: Make History for the Indian Motorcycle Community.

Racing isn’t just about courage—it’s also about sacrifice. Our riders have already self-funded over $10,000 to prepare for this challenge. But the reality is, professional racing is incredibly expensive—from entry fees to bike prep, transport, safety gear, crew support, and logistics.

To keep pushing forward, we need your support and sponsorship. Every contribution, big or small, helps cover the huge costs of competing in one of the toughest races on Earth.

The Indian Motorcycle Riders (IMR) community has been around for 13 years, bringing together riders of Indian origin to celebrate motorcycle travel, adventure, and community across the U.S. and worldwide. Over the years, IMR has grown into a powerful family of passionate riders—and now taking on one of the most legendary challenges in motorsport: the Baja 1000.

This November 2025, IMR Racing will compete in the 58th SCORE Baja 1000 for the second time, one of the longest, toughest, and most dangerous off-road races in the world. Stretching over 1,000+ miles through Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, next to Dakar Rally , it’s a non-stop battle against deserts, mountains, rocks, and the unpredictable forces of nature. Riders face extreme fatigue, high-speed risks, and some of the most grueling terrain imaginable.

But that’s exactly why we’re here. Because this is more than a race. It’s a movement.

We’re here to:
