Hello, Roger Allen here. I am hoping to make some Rookie license runs at El Mirage this Sunday. But I have no chase driver. I am hoping to hire or barter for a driver Sunday. If the driver is a rookie like me, he or she will have to go to rookie orientation with me Saturday at 3 pm ish.
I know I am asking a lot, and so I will respond in kind with payment or compensation
I will be bringing Shane San Miguel's hayabusa #9700, which I rookied up to a b license with during speed week. Shane and my wife and supporting cast are all busy this weekend unfortunately.
If anyone can help me I will be most grateful
Roger, 916-600-1601
I'll be down late Friday night or early Saturday morn.

Thank you for the words of encouragement.
Ima headin south Friday. What an adventure lsr is.
You know, at Bonneville the race motor let go Friday night on heads up racing Dyno.
I had brought along a 2015 busa with 200 miles on it. "Just in case we needed parts".
Saturday a very nice guy named Clay McKinley let me ride his zx12r for my first license run. Awesome.
Sunday morning we took the new bike to salt lake, (heads up racing, Scott Horner is a superstar, and a gentleman),tore both bikes down, put the new stock motor in the race bike, tuned it a little with the bazaaz and
a laptop, and returned to the salt after 32 straight hrs. Took a nap, Monday, woke up to hi winds, decided Tuesday morning there would be a reckoning, and boom, a 162mph. 2nd run ever, 1st on the busa.
Second run I wanted to be gentle, but a swear she said ' don't be a wuss, so I kicked that mule, did a 181.2 with a 190 plus exit speed and I was in love. On the short course. Stopping in 1 mile was alarmingly difficult, but I love a challenge.
So I tore apart a brand new busa so I could get my B license, and it was so worth it.
I'm a road racer, but this was the ride of my life.
El Mirage is callin my name!
