Seems like every stage the hummers fall more and more behind :(

BJ is in!! That helps the chance that RG has tracker issues. BJ wouldn't pass him by

Get the TT prepped and let's go kick some ass in Laughlin!

With no power for the dunes and all the issues it looks like any stage wins are as likely as an overall win at this point.
I had high hopes for this year as did we all but it looks like things have all but slipped away.

Add another 25-30 minutes to todays stage that he's behind (and he hasn't even hit the 2nd stage or 38Km mark yet. RG was saying if they were about 10 minutes behind the leaders going into stage 3 they'd be good and stage 4 would be to their advantage. Well, not sure what happened but it's not looking good at all. It sucks actually.

Maybe he's got tranny issues - or over-drove to make up time and is now wrecked? I must be something serious if it's just gravel roads and they haven't hit the sand yet. Yep, lets head to Parker.
