Thanks again Alison. I love reading Steve's blog. I'm sure that most on here, like myself, do not think that the #327 would pass without helping had they had seen the #303 needed assistance. Glad you and your sister get to join us in chat.

Opinions are like arm pits.....everyone has two of them and they both stink.  We are all a bunch of paasionate race fans of pontentially the most passionate racer Robby Gordon.  There is alot of emotion and disappoinment to go around......things get said in the the heat of the battle.  Family members of the the race team members are likely the most vulnerable....be careful not to get sucked in.  We are all armchair quarterbacks....Robby, Kellon, Eliseo and Steve are on the ground and in the front line battle....they can't hide behind a pen name. Robby is the boss....we'll let him run his team. He is an ambitious, unique and successful leader....not to mention unquestionably one of the finest drivers in the world.....and we are his fans.

 

Let us all recall and reflect on a famous Theodore Roosevelt quote  (Man in the Arena, April 23, 1910):

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Go get 'em Speed Energy Team Hummer!   "Return vistorious with your shields....or as fallen heros, carried home on your shields"

Don't let any comments here get under your skin, or taint your respect for Robby and his fans.....we are a loyal and cantankerous bunch.......funny that you would find us all huddled with our favorite cantankerous driver who wields a pissed-off Hummer in enduro brawl with a bunch of Euro pansies in panzers.
