Moot point. The secondary mission was completed after the gear problem. From 38th to 36th.

Hey all, TOG is right on the money here...I don't ever contribute to the blog but there is a time for everything....anyways, points are moot, Rob has gotten the placement he needs and is done with the day

...besides, Robby wants to do it himself, has to do it himself....just as all of the most passionate men do with companies and the real Entreprenurial American Dream..anything worth doing is worth doing correctly

Big difference between bashing , being a jackass, and having regular conversation. The former seem to trump the latter. He lost third gear. On to Montreal !

TOG, do you know how much approximately it costs a team to enter a car? I know there's an inspection fee, but not sure what it is anymore. If the 07 can S&P at a few races, that would be extra money RGM can use going forward. It's the backup car anyway, so no real extra resources spent on it, other than the costs to enter it and a set of tires or two.

If it makes sense for Robby to do, I am sure he will do it. But after spending time in the shop this week, the misconception that you just have to stick tires on it and go, is only a fraction of what you would have to do to get it ready.I think it would vary which tracks you can and cant do that at.
