Ill miss the chat with the gang for sure. I have been in Florida since 1992 and only returned once for an HDRA race in Vegas. Racing for nearly 20 years and then walking away from the desert cold turkey was tough. I do so love the desert. Im hoping to go to Baja next year for a race for my 60th birthday.

BIll, you make that offer and I just might take you up. I was not sure how to sneak a rental car down there so that would solve a problem or two. Getting Married in september and the wife would likely want to go. shes a hoot and a real Robby fan.

Does anyone remember how well Miller did on the last traditioal ralley like stage?

Well enough that Robby will not make up any ground unless he has problems...

The VW is just more suited to the stage, regardless of driver.

Millers worst stage finish is 7th. In the last six stages, he has four 2nd place finishes, one 3rd and a 4th.
