Hey TOG, why don't you start a Robby Gordon fan site where his real fans gather to support and appreciate his efforts. I once thought this was PlanetRobby.

I hope you had a good time in the pits last night. Chat consisted of those bitching and whining about the run followed by bitching and whining to those who are bitching and whining. Did you pick up that Gibbs chassis?

It was clear at the theatre that RG and RGM are seriously focused on building the Speed Energy brand. Robby must prepare himself for his post racing career.

The Dodge guy said Robby races for the fans. I asked Robby if he does for the fans or does he do it to win. His response says it all, "I do it to have fun."

Fun == Racing Dakar, racing Trophy Trucks, racing Sprint Cup, and building a successful energy drink company.

How many of us can really say we work for and get paid to have fun? My hand isn't raised.

Robby, do whatever it takes to have fun. Real fans will support you.

For those who were not there, here's the number for those who want to join a race team (or have answers for the team's problems): 1-800-stupid. (info) was added by me.

All I'm saying is I'm not happy with being the slowest car still running that didn't wreck or start and park.
You think Robby is? They don't have the resources to compete? How the hell did this Stremme team come out of nowhere and beat him? The team should be running better than this. No one can dispute that.

We have a saying at work, no information transferred. A lot of words and data can go back and forth but there is no new information. It is similar to stating the obvious. I think Robby should be running better but I am in no position to turn my thought/opinion into a statement of fact.

There is a lot of good information that goes back and forth on the planet but all too often there is just noise. As WJM said above, buy Gibb or hire Knauss is just silly. We are fans and not the crew chief, car chief, engineer, driver or bill payer. We do not have skin in the game!
