How hard will it be to make up 34 minutes?

Not as hard as you would think. The Hummer should fare much better when the rally gets into Chile.

...and only 7 seconds back from 8th!

Drive smart until stage 10 and then Gas On!

Getting off the farm roads and into the desert is where RG will make it up. Does anybody know what happened to the tracking on the Dakar site? I never saw him after CP1.

30 minutes back is not bad. One flat tire by the leader knocks off 15 minutes.Also, Robby has yet to enter his "strength" segments. A LONG way to go!

I'm not positive I read it right....on RG.com it said that in stage 3 robby broke two left wheels....so he broke 2 left wheels and finished 12 minutes off the leaders? I'd say if that is correct...Robby was haulin SOME serious ass.....Buy some luck and keep the pieces together..I think we see that 30+min shrink quickly...I'm feelin good about this.......
