HISTORY/BIOGRAPHY/EARLY LIFE

Born in Ensenada B.C., México, Ivan Ramirez Salas, began liking motorcycles when he was just 5 years old, when his father Raul Ivan Ramirez, got him his first one as a gift, a KTM 50cc. Thanks to his parents great support, Liliana Salas and Raul Ivan R., he has developed great confidence on motorcycle riding.

His father has been his trainer, and Ivan has ridden in many races in Mexico and the United States, starting with the Motocross and Supercross categories, in which he developed the necessary ability and skill to be able to compete at a professional level in the Off Road, Grand Prix and Enduro categories.

Thanks to the excellent results at the beginning of Off Road races, Ivan was called very early on to join the best riders in the state in spite of his short age.  During his participation in class 22 of the 2007 SCORE Baja 500, Ivan defeated the KTM USA Factory Rider, who was the favorite to win because of his level, nevertheless Ivan left him behind in one of the more technical sections of the race, near the famous Mike’s Sky Ranch.  It was then that Chris Haines, widely known in the Off Road world, searched everywhere for that rider who surprised him with his performance.  When he met him and knew Ivan’s age, he did not hesitate to invite him on his team and run his specially prepared Off Road motorcycles for SCORE, in class 21 and in the main 22 pro class.

In his quest to be the first Mexican to win the SCORE International main class 22 Pro and more specific, the first Mexican to win a Baja 500 or Baja 1000 in that class, Ivan let himself be seen in the 2009 Baja 500 edition, in which he joined as a team with Alberto Heredia and Brandom Prieto, all from Ensenada, and obtained 2^nd place in the 22 Pro Class, and also being the first Mexican to cross the finish line on that day.
