RDC Gordini discussion

Thought you Planeteers might like to see what's been going on on RDC . A few of you already know as I've seen you there bleeding the orange and black like me but for those who haven't seen it yet here's a link

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.

Not to mention RG has one of the older TTs out there.

If I'm not mistaken isn't the current TT the same as old Red Bull days ? Or at least the Monster days ?

Ripped off by the COPS team early this/late last year.

I think it was the GSM team with the RG copies. COPS is RACER chassis.

GSM,sounds correct.SCORE #72 and #73.To bad they didn't realize when they copied the RGM TT that it really only works when driven at Robby's pace.And they're driver's don't driver at that pace.

Isn't the 72 or 73 Robert Acer ? ( the Mystery Driver )

Robby Gordon is a blessing for off road racing. I for one never watched off road until I started following him in NASCAR. I was missing out, off road racing is good stuff but, with out Robby's far reach and popularity in other forms of racing I never would of turned on the TV to watch. Voss, BJ, Menzies, Jones, etc..... Great racers but, I would never have known they existed without Robby. Give credit where credit is due. Cheers to RGM and a productive positive year of SST, Desert, and Dakar!

Come DAKAR the world would say for Voss,Menzie,Jones, WHO? BJ - is he driving for Robby,Eric?
What's funny is how many guy's want to be the Robby's water carrier for DAKAR,but want a deal on the rent because they think you've got a 'GLOBAL' name, turns out not so much and not so much cash.

Most of those names are lucky to be known in another country ( MX ) let alone global .

the guy on RDC doing most of the shit talk'n might/must have his own personal axe to grind for whatever reason.
He's not a racer,owner.Maybe a mechanic who didn't get hire'd,maybe a fan who made a suggestion and was blown off.
I only wasted time reading it and typing this because I didn't want to chug my beer.
