GORDON Bob (USA)
HIGMAN William (USA)
HUMMER

This is what is listed for the second hummer at Dakar.com

Is Bob really going to drive it? I do not know. It would be cool if he did.

There will be a #2 for sure.

I'm available! LOL

Does anyone know if the VG / RB issue is still pending or has that been settled?

if he doesn't get BJ I have to really question his sanity.

I am hoping for bob and will. There is a ton of experience offered with that pair! RG needs team players and who better then pops?

I can't imagine a better water carrier than Bob but BJ brings something totally different to the table. Another chance to win. IMHO, if Robby wants a fast support unit that will always be pretty close to him then the choice is easy but if he wants 2 vehicles capable of winning at any time I would go with BJ. (assuming that is even an option)

For pure PR purposes though I heard a rumor that a recent Nascar Champion could be in the 2nd Hummer.

You mean Robby is paying back Tony for the Prelude to a Dream invitation :>)

i almost posted this as soon as i read it. Tony's got his own team now and can do whatever he wants. i think he's the only guy with enough balls to go for something like this. but it will be good to see bob out in competition again!

Didn't JJ already throw-up in a helmet of Robby's??? Imagine how many chunks would be at the bottom of the hummer floor after 16 days? LOL

John, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Not to take anything away from Bob, but BJ has already done great in the H3. Anybody else has the learning curve of the truck to contend with, as well as the course.
Maybe Rob's just duckin BJ cuz he still owes him a candlelight dinner. Anybody else remember that bet?
