Day 1 Lowes Testing Results

Testing at Lowes takes place both today and tomorrow, and Robby is at the bottom of the list with both cars.Keep in mind, they might be working on handling or something different,especially since this isn't the motor they will be using for Lowes.The team will switch to Penske Power starting this weekend in Kansas.

This is the last time RG has to use those junk GEM motors right? I say on the second day he blows them up and sends them back in pieces... this bridge is already burnt!! On to Jasper motors and a whole new ball game!!

He's still using a GEM motor for the practice sessions? Damn, so I need to lay off the Ray/Erin comments for a few more days? Jeez, he'll blow those motors quicker than ____ ____ the _____ off of a ________.

Hey TOG... your pretty quick with getting all the current info up on this board. I'm a long time RG fan, but new to this site.

Where do you get all your info. and how the heck do you get it so quick?
Are you on the 'inside' at RGM?

Fly...if I have in any way sounded like I know anything about the mechanics of any car (including changing a tire or oil)....it was luck...because I don't...so no.....

Now I have been know to get some sponsorship dollars into the hand of "the little guy" who wants to live the "Indianapolis 500 " dream...........I started following Robby back when he ran for Foyt and then Walker......
