Robby Gordon 2013

larryboy · 12-09-2012, 01:26 PM

Let's have a place to talk about the last great American racer. Whatever he does in 2013 we can talk about it here, it seems like any other racing thread where his name comes up somebody starts to cry.

THIS THREAD IS FOR FANS!!!!

Let's start with the first good race of the year!!

The car:

OK , I will admit to a tiny man-crush for RG .

My question is , what will he run for NASCAR . Car ? Races ?

BADDAD · 12-09-2012, 05:52 PM

I'm not sure? He still has the shop in Charlotte. I'd expect to see him at Daytona and the road courses, in what I have no idea.

I've been lurking the web and haven't heard anything yet. After the drama last year with the second car and how much time it cost him I wouldn't be surprised to see him run just the one car.

Robby Did Race Bikes at one time !
Did You know that???

larryboy · 12-09-2012, 07:45 PM

If anybody has pics or a link to the buildup of this current car I'd love to see them!!

One year he did a webcam in his truck shop in California during the build of his Baja truck. It was cool to watch.

Here's his navigator, Kellon Walch, training for an earlier Dakar, on one of Jonah's bikes. Go Kellon!

I'll admit I was not the biggest RB fan at the beginning, but like a stong fungus he has grown on me.

After watching him race in the Dakar these past few years his skill, passion and the gusto he brings to the race have won me over.

He certainly brings out the inner child in me.

He just need to dial the Go-For-Broke driving style back a tiny notch and get a professional support crew that does not consist of a bunch of dumb flat billers.

GO RB!

Dayum he was haulin' ass! I saw that on TV but it was much better form that angle.

I like the story about RG last year blowing through a corner and jumping off a cliff....landing on the downslope without missing a beat and rejoining the road to carry on.
