Robby Gordon 2013

[larryboy]

Whew, Chicherit was ripping...Robby got him by 22 seconds.

I've been following the 317 as they're probably the last car that Robby can catch in the overall standings.

Damn!
Stuck for 8 minutes at a way point. That sucks.

Good news Gordonistas!!!!!

RG-

"Any time you don't win you're going to have some regrets

Guerlain finished second and it will be interesting to see. I think starting from the back has some advantages, but for us the most important thing is we just want to continue and finish the rally. We have nothing really to gain. I know Chicherit's buggy has a bigger restrictor. It has 39 mm and we're on 37 so he should be faster on tracks like this. But it is what it is… Hopefully next year we'll get the 39 mm restrictor too. Any time you don't win you're going to have some regrets and I guess the first regret was being too conservative on day one, because that got me stuck and from there we never recovered – we just put ourselves in worse positions."

In a video from stage 7 (I think) he also mentions the larger restrictor. Something along the lines of Nasser's Chassis being FIM compliant and thus allowing him to run a larger restrictor because of it.

He goes on to say that they will look into modifying their chassis for next year so he too, can run the larger restrictor.

Sounds promising!

Just a heads up for the leg humppers; Rubby Gordon HATES it when people spell it Robbie. If you had been listening you would have heard Mark praise a large number of Dakar winners. I doubt your hero would ever say anything like that. As Kellon said in his interview; "Nobody loves Robby more than Robby....."

well mate you must know all
lol

Keeps it interesting. Critics always make life more funner.

My Robby opinion has evolved over the years.

2000: I used to manage an indoor kart track in Orange called Dromo1 while I was in school. Robby's shop was just down the street.

Robby rented the place for his dad's birthday. In the final race dad was on poll Robby started in back. RG picked his way through the field and came up on his dad in turn one. RG used his dads kart to slow for the turn and punted dad into the tires. The kart flipped launching dad over the tires. Everyone stopped but RG. I had to shut his kart down from the tower. I was not impressed. The owner, Larry, was tripping over himself to kiss any racer ass that came through the door. I got reamed by the owner for shutting RG's kart off.

Fast forward to 2010: We moved in to our house here in Havasu. After meeting the neighbors, we found out they were the grandparents of RGs son. I went to many parties and chatted with him quite a bit. Even had that Dakar support truck behemoth blocking my driveway. Watching how patient he was with his boy, my opinion evolved. He's just a talented guy trying to make a living. He seemed to have matured a bit himself since the Dromo1 days.

I'm not quite a leg-humper, but I am a fan.
