I watched it live. At some point RG is going to have to put seat time into events like this. The winch was not the problem. He had a great day going but just your name is Robby Gordon doesn't make you the winner.

Who was his co-pilot ? Didn't help him through that line. I did watch a couple guys roll that line solo .

Anyone know what the 135min penalties are for Sheldon and Robby? From the KOH site

Probably a navigation problem, that's all. No big deal ..... Onto Parker 425 :)

To use Rob’s own words and I still believe he rolls by them – “ If you don’t enter a race expecting to win , them what are you doing? ” . Rob cut the course and got nailed . Not good PR for Artic Cat that I’m sure they had a few dollars wrapped up in Rob getting there. Like someone else said Moving on…….

@Dave, no idea and I don't care enough to read the rules to try and figure it out, because

Here's a theory of life question for all at large. How important is it to win the UTV race at KoH really?

What series should Robby ditch to make time to practice using a winch on a UTV? Serious question, SST,SCORE,BiTD,DAKAR?

Can we be happy Robby's dicking around in non world class racing to have fun?

Maybe the reason is the partnership with Artic Cat. Anyone think of that?

Exactly MK , it was a fun new event for Robby to try . I'm sure Arctic Cat hyped it up and sold a few ATVs . It's a great partnership but let's not start seeing UFOs , lil green men and any other conspiracy we can drum up . Plain and simple it was a fun event for Robby to try . On to Parker then SST .
