My Little trip south!

Hey guys, i wanted to share a story of my trip south, It has a great Robby Gordon Connection!!

Back in late Feb i submitted an order for a case of Speed Energy among other things from the store. (Anything to support RGM)

I get to Florida and get an email from a RGM Representive, Giving me a shipping cost. I then get the idea of perhaps picking up the order directely from RGM since Charlotte NC is on the way home (Canada). About an hour later i get an email from TOG, he said if i was gonna be in Charlotte before a certain time, he would be able to show me around the shop.

This made my week! My trip was amazing thus far but to be able to see RGM first hand and see how the operation functions i was ECSTATIC!! So Friday at 4AM i suited up packed our bags and left Daytona for Canada of course making a stop in Charlotte.

I got there and found the place very easyly, The shop is in a great location, Hidden away yet very easy to get to! So i finally arrive and met TOG, He had my order and gave me and my girlfriend a nice little tour of the shop, and the first thing i noticed, Being on a NASCAR Canadian Tire team was that even tho this is the top level series and operation, We have very similar shops, Just that RGM is about 30X The size of our little 1 car operation here in Canada.

I just want to thank TOG for this amazing oppurtunity and i will def be repping Speed up north!! and if Robby ever wants to Sponsor a Nascar Canadian Tire Series team, Our team is always looking for sponsors!! As for me, I got my Karting helmet all decaled up with Speed!! Here are some pictures!

Hey Matt. Thanks for the post. I am jealous. What's your car number as I live in Edmonton and follow the Canadian Tire series and want to cheer you on especially if you are a RG fan?
