I know RG is back on American dirt and has been for a few days- I also heard he may be enroute to Lake Havasu which makes me wonder if anyone has heard anything about the Parker race next weekend.

Is he racing or just heading to the river for some R&R?

He is due for some Cup testing here in Vegas Mon-Wed.

I assume it will be the 77 then? Boss wants to help out with a hands-on shakedown of sorts...?

YouTube - Kurt Busch Robby Gordon Battle at Watkins Glen

Found that on Youtube, I'm not a big Nascar guy, so I don't know when that was from, but that was an intense piece of racin! I don't think he lifted for a second!

Not as exciting as when you tech my suite right?!? O and Jamie I liked your other avatar beter!!! Anyways back to RG, It would be cool if he ran the 77! Andy entered in Parker now, right? That would be cool to see them running against each other.

Let's put it this way, "he wants to"... But he has some other stuff he has to do I guess... Basically I couldn't get a firm yes or no from him at this point. He is also testing Vegas so who knows... If he has an obligation he would probally bring the obligation with him to the dirt.

Hey now, I resemble that remark HAHAHA!!!

After I teched his suit at Parker last year, one of my co-workers called him over to introduce us - I was a nervous wreck LOL!! It was pretty amusing to watch me go over his suit - actually, I make a spectacle over just about everyone's - why do it if you can't have fun ;) After he shook my hand and walked away, I declared I would never wash it again and have been teased relentlessly about it at every BITD Tech since then ;)

Pete, I got it! Tell him you'll give him a stripper pole (I'm sure Randy will sport you one for this!!) if he beats you, and if you beat him, then he has to give you a Hummer.

YES! This is great- RG is coming to town!

I am heading out to the race tomorrow night- Can't get out of work early, so I will miss contingency and have to find a place to camp in the dark- so, anyone out in Parker know how full the camping is by the Python or on Shea? It's just me, my pickup and a tent, so I won't need a huge area.

Just rolled in from Parker and brought a truck load of dust with me...

Well, no defending the title this year, but I did get to check out the truck up close and personal and man, pics just don't do it justice- It is just plain awesome.

RG seemed happy to be there, just seemed like the truck wasn't dialed in like it needed to be and a last minute effort made the fans happy until it came up short.

Saw some good racing- Rob MC and Mark P were very gracious in their gargantuan win- The truck hardly had a scratch on it...

Robby rolled the truck at mile 17 I think. We were at midway and he limped in with a broken spindle. It took a while for them to get it fixed and he took off for a finish.

Well, I sure am glad I got a chance to see him at mile 7 then. I didn't have a scanner, but at the finish line when the #3 was coming in, the announcers said RG had broken and was still stuck two miles from the pits and his crew hadn't gotten to him. Do you know if he broke again and if he ever did finish?

Robby did not finish today. I talked with my buddy who works for Robby and Robby rolled the truck ealry and then hada problem with the driveline. After lap #2 he pulled into Main and said screw it.

I think rolling his truck at speed might have hurt the reliability just a little bit.

Big Hock
February 4th, 2007, 00:29
Abolutely true, but the the H3 got sent into a ditch pretty hard, and they finished the stage with it. I saw the "roll" pics, the truck looks ok. He probably just put it into a ditch again. You know how Robby does! Then he just got bored...

i almost needed a new set as well. we heard he was broke then we saw the trcuk come through the last few " s " turns on the infiled on to the long straights in the back the side and then down the main pit hauling @$$ he turned the coner and was all over the road and right be foire our pit we had a little rise and RG Flew off that thing i think i was a bit to close. by far the fastest we saw in that section

I'd be willing to bet the H3 is not in the country yet. The only reason he was able to race it last year was because he did not finish the Dakar and he and the H3 came home early. Not the case this year.
