Jan 15th Dakar Rally Stage 12 Race Chat

Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 15, 2009,right here and chat about the action during the 12th stage.Robby sits 5th in the overall standings,and will roll off second for stage 12.

Stage 12 - Thursday, January 15

Fiambala > La Rioja

Connection: 4 km | Special: 253 km | Connection: 261 km | Total: 518 km
As concerns crossings, the day’s special is a concentrate of technique. Various types of dunes will be encountered, including the very formidable “white dunes”. Just three days from arrival, this stage can scramble rankings, especially because the assistance vehicles will not have access to the Fiambala bivouac. The Golden Rule is still: “know how to economize your machine”.

Another great day! Just got to keep the Hummer humming all the way back to Buenos Aires!

I would imagine Robby had to "cruise" today. With no support truck it was important to keep the Hummer in one piece. Also, does anybody know what happened to the Higman blog? I can't find an update since 1-8

Tommorow is long, techincal and difficult. The kind of track that Sainz and Roma would do well in . but THEY AINT THERE. Not a Hummer track but a place where the only luck you find is bad luck. Im feeling good about this.
