Who is navigating? I would think going out first it will be important to have a good navigator to confirm your route. I would like to hear some in car chatter between driver and navigator just to listen to the wording used. Does anyone know of a video link that includes in car communication?

I wish there was a link like that. Rumor has it that it may be difficult to even get the weatherman feed. Media exclusiveness has its place I am sure, but it is rather self defeating and embarrassing for the crew that assumed the duties have dropped the ball. At least we will have IIRC tracking..

I'd be pissed if I was a sponsor and no one in the outside world could know! The whole process seams kinda shady, from the hush hush qualifying to sitting in the dark waiting to hear a dribble of rumorews....I could be wrong but I'm trying to follow this, learn stuff and enjoy and it reminds me of a time when I joined a Bass Fishing tournament. It was supposed to be for newbies to learn how the tournament system works. I learned it sucked, full of cheaters and the kind of people I avoid all my life! I'm as competitive as the next jamoke, but there comes a time when you miss out on the fun because you're so focused on the bull shit!

Perhaps RG was going off of the time from the in-car RePlay. He has been known to have a different time based on his in-car versus what the "official" time is. Based on prior history, I am assuming that Robby believes that he was even faster than the time he was scored (either way, still the fastest). I will take this as a good sign for Saturday.
