2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
RDC Gordini discussion
http://www.race-dezert.com/forum/threads/what-happened-to-the-gordi...
Robby himself even came on and set the record straight . Here's his post .
Wow
You guys are correct, 2014 has been a disaster for our race team it's amazing how when you don't win people forget so fast. I guess we just have to worker harder and smarter huh. I was thinking a 1/2 day 7 days a week was enough? just so you know we count a half day as 12 hrs.
Dakar
Vapor Lock blown engine due to running lean. = DNF
Maybe a team problem and due to testing in the Fall won't happen again I will take responsibility personally for this as last year was tough building 23 SST Trucks but we still won Parker and Baja 500 as well as building a series.
Parker 425 broke Trans DNF
Mint 400 DNF Converter
Baja 500
Qualified 1st by 5 seconds over 2nd 9 sec over Voss and 20 seconds to 5th
Drive Shaft Leading at Mikes
Vegas to Reno
Input Shaft
With all these DNF's one time has it been my guys prep jobs? And maybe all of them are mine trying to go too fast (just kidding) I feel our cars are as nice as anything in the Desert or short course, it was a year ago that we schooled everyone at Parker for 3 years straight 2 wins in RGM Truck oh wait 1 win and 1 DQ for heli and 1 win in a Gieser Trugly
BAJA 500 first Overall pole position last 2 BAJA 500 races
BAJA 1000 finally had a RGM mechanical with a broken Spindle, besides this the DNF's are outside parts of RGM and we will continue to push the Developement of OFF ROAD and set the stage for Speed
So for 2013 we have 66% win rate in the Desert 2 wins 3 races
So 2012 win rate 50% win rate 4 wins 8
I will take these odds anytime at Vegas
I have a great race team and Sponsors like Speed, Toyo, 4 Wheel Parts, Safty Clean, Techni, Torchmate, Hass CNC, Mac Tools, Menards, Freightliner many more and couldn't do it without the guys and girls on this team that helps us grow the sport we all love, everyone is right all that matters is winning and we are the only team that has wins in Score and BITD and Dakar Special wins in our own cars.......... Not Voss, BJ, Menzies, Jones or anyone else can say this.
See you guys at the Baja 1000 and we will be there guns blazing
Bummer some of you think I'm Arrogant but in reality it's just confidence and the fans I, we have we love and they are just as passionate as me.

i repete in 1991 the swamp pussy #33 ran with two 300 inch hemis and only 208 mph and for your info is FX/GS is single flat head gas streamline r(thus went faster on gas ) Al Teage went 432 with a CB/FS witch is a less than 355 C.I,D blown fuel streamliner

It looks to me like Garlits only ran/set a record in that car in 1988. The car did continue to race there but with a different motor and driver. I think that is what Sandi was getting at, Garlits himself wasn't there in 1991.

Seriously, FIA keeps track of land speed records ... even the 488+ cu in engine that Al Teague used
