Formed in 2007 by Scott White and Jeb Avery, the N2IT Racing team now consists of six riders, four from Colorado and two from California. Our objective this year is to complete the 2010 Baja 1000 within the allotted time, safely, and respectfully. Our support team consists of eighteen individuals from Colorado and California. Riders are all professional adults (ages 29-42). We have competed in the Baja 500 three times and finished twice. All riders and crew members have been riding Yamaha motorcycles for more than 15 years.
N2IT Racing products are designed to support this effort and make riding enjoyable, safe, and economical for motorcycle enthusiasts everywhere.

N2IT Racing Bike Bio
Make: Yamaha
Model: WR450F
Year: 2009
Bike Prep:
For the 2010 Baja 1000, N2IT Racing purchased a new 2009 Yamaha WR450F from Vickery Motorsports. After its purchase in December 2009 the bike was immediately taken to Carbondale Colorado for breakdown and build up. Scott White and Chris Morrison have worked tirelessly and meticulously to prepare the bike in similar fashion to the 2007 WR450 that was successfully raced in the 2008 Baja 500. Initial work is nearing completion and the bike should be ready for break in and testing by mid March.
Bike Testing:
The bike will be tested on several rides to ensure that all major systems are working and the entire bike is dialed in to N2IT Racing standards. Suspension and ride setup will prove to be particularly challenging this year since we have riders ranging from 140 to 230 lbs and 5'6" to 6'8'. Scott and Chris will continue to tune the bike through the Spring and Summer months. Once the bike is race ready it will be mothballed until the race in November.
Bike Equipment:
Some equipment highlights include: N2IT Racing engine guards, Hyde clutch cover and skip plate, Cycra brush guards, Renthal chain, Bridgestone ultra heavy duty tubes, Baja Designs headlights, MSR steel brake lines, DPK clutch, Dr. D full system exhaust, Scotts Performance steering stabilizer and shark fin, BRP triple clamp and stabilizer mount, Pro Taper oversized bars, Boyesen accelerator pump and water pump, IMS oversized gas tank, Twin Air filter, Acerbis plastics, Maxxis desert IT tires, TM Designs chain guide, Flatland radiator braces, Topar rotor guard, and a Zipty oil plug.

Scott Robinson
Age: 29
San Diego, CA
Mission statement:
To finish the race. Period. This race is known as a grueling race for both rider and machine. The idea here is not to speed to the finish, but rather to finish in a timely manner. The time limit may be close to 54 hours and we will not need all that time, but if we must, then we will do what ever it takes to get across that finish line.
Rider Profile:
My name is Scott Robinson. I am 29 and will be 30 at the time of this years Baja 1000. Southern California is my backyard for riding, playing, and working. Born in Escondido, CA and raised in Ventura, I am now back in San Diego and living in Mira Mesa.
I mostly ride with my family and friends in the local deserts from Mexico, Ocotillo Wells, Barstow, all the way up to Dove Springs and as far west as Pismo Beach. I have been riding since I was 6 and only desert racing with AMA district 37 for two years. Three times I have attempted the Baja 500 to only to finish once. Now that the 500 is checked off the list it is time to move on to bigger and better things.
The Baja 1000 is a race that has always been in the back of my mind. Something that everyone knows about and only a few try. After finishing the Baja 500 and learning the valuable lesson that nothing is out of reach, I have now set my mind and energy on completing the next task of delivering a bike from point A to B in the 2010 Baja 1000 thanks to IN2IT Racing.

Mission:
To live life with heart, soul and passion. Challenges must be met head on with determination and pride. Any and all things are possible.
History:
From childhood I have had a passion for all things two wheeled. Throughout high school and college I raced road and mountain bicycles. In 1992 I entered the world of motorcycles via sport bikes. Eighty thousand miles later and a move to the beautiful mountains of Colorado, an obsession for off-road motorcycles was spawned. My commitment to and abilities in off-road riding has grown over the years and I was honored to be asked to participate in the mayhem referred to as the 2007 Score Baja 500. Baja Fever was caught and in 2008, I co-captained a team that successfully completed that years Baja 500. From those experiences I have gained tremendous insight into the spirit of the Baja races it is a brotherhood that cant be described to anyone who has not experienced it. The desire to be a part of that brotherhood and the challenge of maintaining order throughout chaos, has made the Baja 1000 the next stepping stone in the pursuit of my passion.
Mentality:
Smooth is fast. Motorcycles have the ability to humble, scare, excite, and inspire. They teach self discipline and focus and concentration. If these lessons and attributes are not respected, a motorcycle can destroy.

This past year I learned first hand that life is short. My mother, was recently diagnosed with cancer; thankfully she is ok. From this experience and her advice I no longer take things for granted and have started taking risks and realizing my dreams. Racing Baja has always been one of my dreams since I started riding.
I have lived my life with the principle that nothing comes for free and hard work does pay off. WIth that said, my motto is that if it was easy everyone would do it.
The Baja 1000 is just that, it is the ultimate test of physical and mental devotion, but most importantly it is a test of your own desire to push through the hard times and have the self control to ride within your skill and ability.
I have been riding for 8 years and have found that what I really love is trail riding. I have yet to do any races but the Baja 1000 fits right in...Go big or go home. I am riding the Baja 1000 for the Baja experience. My goal is for us to finish the race and have a damn good time doing it!

Each year in the Score Baja 1000 over 40% of the field does not finish the race. It's not lack of skill that beats these teams, it's a lack of preparation and coordination. With a race course that stretches over a 1000 miles, six chase crews, three remote stationary pits, and over twenty crew members chasing a motorcycle through the desert - communication is key in Baja. N2IT racing uses SatellitePhone.com to ensure that our racers are safe and our support crews are where they need to be when they need to be there. Solid preparation, a well coordinated effort, and a bullet proof communication plan are keys to finishing the toughest off road race in the world.
