Robby Gordon early winner in Dakar!
I told you guys Robby is the man...Looks like he's flying behind the wheel of the Dakar Toureg.
He's the first American to record a stage win in the Dakar...very cool. http://msn.foxsports.com/story/3286926

Yeah, Robby is doing great. Even before his win, he was up there with Colin McRae (the leader early on) until McRae got a puncture. I'm hoping for a great battle between the two in the next few weeks.
Robby Gordon just moved up a notch in my book. Up to notch 1.

Gordon is a hell of a driver, even if he is a hothead who usually doesn't think before acting. I like watching his trophy truck stuff..

Robby last night:
Gordon said he cut his hand on the windshield, and the crew will have the truck "as good as new" for Thursday's seventh stage. Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen says, "We will have to wait till the car is in the bivouac before we'll know whether he can continue or not."

I agree. I haven't seen any ice racing either this winter. That was cool stuff. It has become the "My Classic Car", "Two Guys Garage", and "NASCAR Fast Forward" rerun channel...

It used to be about what the name of the channel said - SPEED. Air races, boat races, every kind of random ass vehicle race you could think of in the world. Now all I see are people standing around on camera fucking talking, instead of showing me some speed.
I miss watching Australian inland swamp speedboat racing.

Though, I saw something the other night that made me think "woah, its the old Speed Channel" again. It was bobsledding championships. Not something I would have watched (or did watch), but it at least made me nostalgic of the old Speedvision.

WOW! Robby's back up to 3rd place! Quite the rally. I don;t think he has a chance to catch up with Peterhansle, the leader, unless he has dificulties, but I'm impressed Robby has come back this far...

Man, I was really sad to see Fabrizio Meoni died during this years dakar, it seemed to be an extra tough year for the motorcycle guys, lots of serious injuries, and at least 2 deaths that I've seen..Very sad. Final two nights of coverage tonight and thursday...
OLN's coverage is mediocre at best, but at least we get to see it.

So did anybody tape the last couple nights of it and can you bring them tonight? I'll scrounge up a VCR for Bully's if needed.
