Scott Anderson, driver, mechanic Scott is a freelance mechanical engineer, prototype machinist and fabricator. Primarily employed in the design of medical devices, motorcycles have been a lifelong hobby. He’s built two bikes of his own design and maintains a stable of about 10 others. He can’t be left unsupervised with anything mechanical, lest he take it apart and put it back together. 40 years of wrenching, 30 years racing dirt bikes and 20 years racing GP road race machines have addled his mind sufficiently for the Baja event to look appealing. Mike “Skid” Aquino, driver, mechanic Skid is an experienced motorcycle rider and racer with a long history of radically modifying various modes of transportation. An artist and builder, he has a penchant for the dangerous and unusual. He’s raced everything from go karts to flame throwing golf carts. He’s a consistent finalist in the world famous Power Tool Drag Races. He was the first person contacted by Graham to race Class 11. Initially reluctant, he ordered “Dust to Glory” on Netflix and the rest is history. Skid has Type 2 diabetes. Jim Graham, PR, marketing, sponsorship, co-driver Jim co-founded Desert Dingo Racing with Skid in November 2006 after watching…
