If his car holds up all those other guys are going to have trouble beating him...
Thats for sure I hope him or Miller wins it that would be something.

The only way Gordon could win this is if Miller keeps the reigns pulled tight on Gordon. I mean Robby is his own worst enemy.

Maybe in Indycars, or NASCAR, but not offroad. :argue: This is where he shines. As long as the equipment holds up, great chance of smoking the pack!

Robby has a problem he always over drives the car. And that is what causes equiptment failure.
With the exception of the 3rd stage the first 2 were very user friendly to the Rally style of car, stage 3 was just a teaser of what is coming, does Lance Armstrong hitting the mountain stages of the Tour De France sound familiar, that is what is coming Robby is going to destroy the other teams once he gets to the more difficult sand and whoop sections that are coming. I believe stages 4 thru 6 are really going to show everyone whats up. If he does not have a mechanical he will should really put time on his competitors and take over the lead. Go Team USA screw the Euros
I thought those Hummers were slower then the second comming of christ.
Anyone have a pic of RG's race rig? To bad he can't drive a TT.
