Interesting, wonder if Robby entered to see what starting position he'd draw?Then decide on what rig to take/ or even go.

It would be great to see him run it I know he said he was "over the bumps" but he's competative right now and I think he gets alot more product exposer running the desert events especially down south.

Well I have no knowledge of any plans but just some food for thought.... I think the cost$$ versus return when it comes to marketing and then sales of SPEEDENERGY is higher in off road racing right now for Robby. Plus with Nasser just throwing a fit and going home halfway through the dakar rally has probley left a lot of spare parts "PAID FOR" that could be used in the off road racing so it wouldn't be a big surprise to see the Hummer/jeep??? run some of the BITD/SCORE races. Just a fan with a thought what's yours?

I don't know if he has ever run the Hummer in San Felipe before but I woildn't think it would be his first choice. It doesnt have the wheel travel of the TT and I don't believe it;s built quite as beefy it really wasn't built for that type of terrain althought he did win Parker in one and that's a tough course. I still believe the TT or another run in the RPM truggy would be a better choice for the bumps in SF.Maybe a partnership with RPM could bring more offroad racing a major plus in my book.

I here what your saying about the TT being better for San Felipe and I agree. I was thinking that he could/would run the TT in the 250 because he would be able to run the Hummer in the baja500/1k depending on the course, loop vs. point to point because of the possible spare parts being left over from DAKAR.

That sounds great to me if he were to run all the baja races I just might have to make the trip south of the border for at least one of them

The 1000 is a run to the tip this year.

That could be rough to spectate the 500 might be a good choice

Well SCORE mixed up the course a little this year so I hope. With the great starting position and a few new sections of course, I hope, Robby will change his mind and give his fans a show in San Felipe.

#1 plate=NO. Didn't race laughlin. The best we can hope for a championship is the #18 Speed Energy/RPM TT driven by Juan Carlos. He leading in TT points. Clyde Stacy is listed in the #109 Geiser Truggy so maybe there is that possibility. Or most likely he will run the #77, start 3rd and run down Rob and Andy.
