you can just follow the score file on the gps and you can store your gps track too, but you have to enable that,

Yes! Fantastic! To be cleared of any wrong doing and land a Bristol sponsor in one day is too much good news for me to take.

No go out to Bristol and take no prisoners!

It didn't sound like he was "cleared" but that someone withdrew the complaint. It would have been better to let it stand and have SCORE actually clear him.

Score and the CRB cleared him on race day. A team was appealing the ruling that cleared him. The CRB (Competition Review Board) is made up of racers and convened the evening after the event or the next day to hear any protests. It makes a ruling and advises Score but they don't have any power to penalize. Simply to advise.

All well that ends well. If in fact Robby decided to go off the cliff and make up time so be it. Offroad racing is still one of those areas that is wide open. More power to Robby. In some of the areas I have had to dodge vehicles that were off course trying for a better line. There is an expression in pubilicity. I do not care what you say about me but spell my name right. All publicity is good publicity.

I'm with ya there Walt, but we know how Robby sometimes interprets rules differently than others do. But as I said on another thread, at least he is smart enough to do his research first.

I was at the SF250 race... It was more crazy than I have ever seen it. Where I was spectating Trucks were way off the course and the bikes were at times out of sight, you could just see dust and hear them taking alternate routes. When Sal removed the IRC and stated parts of the course were open, Many Many teams took that to heart and went nuts. Where I was at Robby was directly on the course along with other TTs and he was paceing off the lead trucks up to 3 poles.

Isn't what Robby did why they call the sport "OFF ROAD'? he just had the smarts to first clarify during the drivers meeting, what he had already planned to do :-). It has happened before in Nascar.....He's just "smarter then the averagee bear BooBoo.

How hard it must have been for Robby to stay on course and watch Mark Post and Ed Stout run 150 yards east of the course up to 3 poles avoiding all the whoops while Robby was pacing and saving his shocks!

It does look like they're on the same day. Last year I was there and the TTs didn't even roll off until about noon if my memory is correct. If they do it that way again, he can't make it back to the east coast in time...no way. Where's the Concorde when you need it?
