Yes, same as his Monster Hummer. He mastered that lever in his Super 1600 days.

For a second there I though "is he really listening to guns n roses???" Cool vid thanks! :D

[nickhead]

Sweet Video.. that Sequential gearbox works alot better than the old H pattern that was in it.. Thanks for sharing..

[Cult Racing]

[CharlieIII]

[Dezertpilot]

So jealous, thanks Fly!

[Sparky]

Umm, helmets?

[Cult Racing]

[woundedyak]

His life must suck.

[formerly known as]

Theres barely any steering input with that guy.....Car must be set up pretty well

[Racer Tim]

This 4-seater built by RGM..:D:D

I looks alot like an Elite Offroad car. I wonder if one had influence on the other or something.

[4x4nutz]

GOOD lord that's sweet!

[drsnutz]

that dang rg, he's got all the best toys, and yeah i seen him cut the course too, ima call sel fish right now and protest lmao!:)

[River Dirt 2]

That Elite looks like John Kaisers car, so yes there could be RG/Johnny Kaiser influence.

[FlyHiFlyLo]

That car build was launched in 2003... It has had several tweeks since. But the layout, main geometery and sheetmetal has pretty much stayed the same.

John's old car. Now owned by Joe Sargis, preran the Parker 425 last year.

Thanks Fly for posting that video. I sure miss not being down there. Oh well, I'll console myself tomorrow morning with a 12-bore SXS while chasing pheasants.

Umm, helmets?

I agree! Not worth the risk. Use Them!

[DEZERTBOUND]

Wow, Robby still has not bent the front bumper (2004):)

[Crowd Pleaser]

I agree! Not worth the risk. Use Them!

I was thinking the same thing. It wasn't long ago that a photographer posted a photo of a truck jumping at the MORE race and the guy was just about lynched. Whether RG needs a helmet or not, there was 3 other people in the car.

[Wasson Racing]

nice video! looks fun.

[Forty1Racing]

I like the heak sinks (sp?) on the RG shocks. very logical design

Whether RG needs a helmet or not, there was 3 other people in the car.He was "lynched" because at the MORE race he was jumping during the race and wasn't entered.

fly, didnt he have a sand car first with all the same fickle fackle about it? i remember him parking his truck at glamis for a year or 2 and him playing in a dark dark gray rail he had built? the pre-runner looks very similar just more heavy duty and with a windshield.

the car on the video just have 1 tube behind the windshield the one on the photo has like triangle

[Crowd Pleaser]

I'm not defending the guy by any means, let's just say the rope and pitchforks came out because of helmets and the fact that the race was going on.

Cool video, but cooler with helmets. EOS

[E&S Racing]

I think they are the same car. The first photo is at a bad angle to see it correctly. The "V" (or triangle that you called it) you are seeing in what looks like the windshield, is the "B" pilar on the drivers side...

Where do i pay my 8 grand to do a ride along?

[Jkrell]

Cool video...cool to see the car still running and getting used. The chassis was built by a guy named timmy (can't remember his last name) at robby's, Tim left robby's after the chassis was built and myself, arron kirkendol, and a couple of other guys finished the car debuting it at the phoenix nascar race in 2003, and then robby took it on its first prerunn of baja for the '03 baja 1k just after that. No major issues on first pre run if memory serves, I think the shift linkage came loose maybe. I talked to robby and some of his guys a couple of years ago and they said they had folded the suspension a couple of times and rebuilt it stronger since, but the majority of the car had held up pretty good.

We used to call it "The Hermaphrodite" around the shop...cause so much was cut off and then redone in its life...and that was just when it was being built. It was fun project to be apart of, and I learned a lot in the process. I need to dig out my old computer and see if I can find the pics I took during the build process.

[carczar_84]

cool info on the car. its fun to hear the history on cars like this.
It looks like a fun, simple, fast and durable car.

I guess RG folding the suspension shouldn't be much of a surprise though. :rolleyes:

[JCCBURT]

other guys finished the car debuting it at the phoenix nascar race in 2003

I remember seeing it parked in the driver area by his motorcoach... I just kept walking back and forth, and all I could mumble is "its just not fair"... lic plates and all... :confused:

I didnt give a crap about the race or any other NASCAR driver at that point... I just wanted to be RG... and personally, I think every other cup driver did too when they saw the car...
