There is a difference between being realistic and being naive. I don't dislike Gordon, I'm just not joining the RDC Robby Gordon Reacharound Society. I like the SST concept I just wish the business could sustain an all stadium series instead of the rally cross format they had to switch to.
As for who put on a better show, that's in the eye of the beholder. If your opinion is that it's a better show, that's fine. As for being invited to the XGames, I don't know that long term it's something that's beneficial to any motorsport. Sure there are eyes on it but how many of those are converted to new fans? It could be that GRC didn't think the effort was worth it. Could be XGames didn't want them back. The Red Bull marketing machine has some of the most sophisticated resources to measure ROI for the various series and events they sponsor. Automatically assuming that it wasn't their choice or that platform was right for them is wide of the mark.
I saw both.When GRC joined the X-Games it quickly became my favorite event. Out of curiosity, did you watch the 2 different series race at the X-Games in 2014? I thought there was a distinct difference between the 2 events and that includes the downtime they had to cut. I can imagine being there it was even worse.
I'm looking forward to SST getting back into Stadiums this year.
The ratings and response to the SST vs the GRC at X-Games is all the clairvoyance I need. I know you hat all things RG is involved in, but you have to admit that at X-games the SSTs were better racing and a better show than GRC!!!
The GRC schedule does not indicate an event that could fit into the X-Games timing and schedule and are in fact in Daytona, FL near that time, so it would seem that GRC was not invited back to X-Games. Since the new SST schedule has an allocation for a Texas event during the time X-Games will be happening it is pretty safe to ASSUME that SST is in negotiations with X-Games to be included once again. Do you actually disagree, or is it just your nature to post negative comments about anything associated with RG???
All you had to do is watch both shows to see SST was way better than the GRC . Damn GRC cars couldn't make the 1st turn without losing 1/2 the field . Yes I AM A ROBBY FAN ! , but just plain common sense shows the results .
Apparently Scott Rhen is not a fan of ours sb4pro!!!! He disliked both of these posts... I wonder what bothered him about them. At least we know who did it even if we don't know why. I would think he would have replied to them with a statement backing up his dislike, but chose to drop the dislike and back out of the thread. At least vegasloki has reasons when he say's that we are just RG worshipers... Anyhow, we've both got viewable dislikes for rather sedate comments. I thought it was kind of weird, but it's probably just me...
