1993 SCORE International Banquet

LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Ivan Stewart raked in most of the chips at the SCORE
International desert off-road racing series banquet Friday night but
shared some of the pot with hotelier Michael Gaughan, named
"person of the year" for 1993.

Stewart was overall point champion and was confirmed officially as the
"Ironman," collecting two Valvoline Ironman trophies this year for
winning both major Baja races with no relief driver.

as his own participation.
