RENO, NV * * OCTOBER 10, 2010* – Roger Norman’s Crystal Bay Casino #8 Trophy Truck will take the very first Green Flag on November 18, 2010 at approximately 11:45am and catapult down the Baja coast in the 2010 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000.* Roger Norman will Ironman the entire race with co-driver Lance Clifford by his side.
The drawing for starting position was on Saturday where the computerized system drew Roger Normans name first as the #1 person to leave the line at the 43rd Baja 1000.* “I am so stoked, I can’t believe it.* It is the coolest thing,” exclaimed Roger Norman.* “No stress, no dust, it couldn’t be more perfect.”* This puts them into an excellent starting position to repeat the Norman Motorsports 2008 Baja 1000 win.
Roger Norman’s plan is to Ironman the entire 1050 miles.* “I am planning on pre-running more than I have ever pre run in my life – which is a lot!” laughed Norman. “We will be doing a full non-stop pre-run, from start to finish, as a test to see if I am able to perform at the level required to win.”* If after the test he deems it necessary, he already has someone in mind to co-drive a section in the middle to allow for a break.
Lance Clifford, founder and owner of Pirate4x4.com, will be the ironman co-driver for Norman.* “I am excited to have someone that has skills and passion for the sport and having him is my biggest reason for doing it solo,” explained Norman.* Clifford is not a rookie to the Baja 1000 with three Class 17 wins driving, and co-driving 1,146 miles in the 2007 Baja 1000 while 3 drivers sat behind the wheel.* He was a 2009 Class 17 SCORE points champion and has three National Championship titles in Rock Crawling.* “I race to win, plain and simple,” said Clifford.* “It is awesome to be a part of a quality team and I am taking it very serious.* Starting on the pole position of any race is perfect, but sitting on the pole position of the Baja 1000 is amazing.”
