100km of sand. It's good for Hummer.

I'm sure there is a lot of hard work tonight for the RGM team. Maybe the most yet. Let's all keep a positive outlook for the team as they prepare for tomorrow as it will be the most important stage thus far. We must make up some time to stay in the running, and I am confident in the drivers, navigators, and speed energy team that we will! I must say I have become quite the fan of the Planet and all it stands for, and today felt sad for Nasser. I guess I'm a fan now! Even made a contribution to the Planet!

It seems that Robby and Nasser have had to race pretty cautiously since the second supply truck has yet to arrive. However, this should play right into their game for the later stages because their Hummers will have more "stuff" left in them.

In addition, if the Hummers are this fast with somewhat worn equipment, just imagine how fast they will be once the supply truck arrives with fresh supplies!
