30th is best he can do??

I hope ur right.

The reality is he started fast in practice and must of had difficulty improving the handling of his car or they would have improved better than .4 mph over 13 laps of practice.

I hope he got an opportunity to practice in both race and qualifying trim????? A bunch of the other guys ran a lot more laps than he did and had a greater improvement. I hope he was just saving the car.

Recently Hope seems to be one of the only things RGM fans have.

I forgot that the Colts won the Championship.. who they beat again?? Oh yeah, Da Bears LOL. But I can understand what TOG was thinking, not all of us have been closely following RG for years like some here have.. and if a newbie fan saw some of the commentary and took it out of context they might be turned off a little. I read on another site some comments from someone who had visited PR and they said that RG fans spend more time bad mouthing each other and their favorite driver than supporting him. I don't think that's an image that we want to portray here. I'll get off my soapbox now, but returning to what I said earlier about there being many people on PR that have been following RG for years and I for one have a lot of questions about Robby's career that I cannot just simply google and would like to tap into the wealth of knowledge that many of the members can provide. I'm sure a lot of other members do too. I'm not sure where I'm going with this but I'd like to know: What exactly was the Wells Coyote anyway??

Sweet ride!! Was the Coyote RG used for the Pikes Peak run his own or someone else? What year was that and did he win it?? I suppose this doesn't really relate to the 600, maybe someone should start a Q & A group.. I think it would be very interesting..
