What about the "Santa Ana" winds? Are they sifting?

Who cares about Sunday? Friday is all that counts this weekend for RGM. I have too many things to do this weekend. Unfortunately a race without the Speed Energy Dodge making a full race effot is not worth cashing in a chip to sit around and watch the Fox team talk about the 48, 88, 14 and 18.

But Rob you will miss Robby's new "engine package" if you do not watch the race ;). For me I will only check in on the Fontana race rain coverage to see how much snow my home town mountains have.

Theres a very light off shore flow right now, it usually shifts to an onshore by afternoon. An Alaskan storm is expected to move into the area sometime Sunday afternoon, with rain in Southern California late morning.

Were too far ahead, I cant make an accurate prediction of what time the rain will start, so we will hope for the best. RG or not, I still want to see the race Sunday, not Monday.

Well, here we go. Big weekend for us Robby Fans. No "Swag Wagon" at Fontana. I guess it's saving money for us fans. The problem is,when I'm walking around with my "Robby Wear" What should I say? Next year, next weekend, wait till you see my monster truck,Baja or bust and mmmm then there is always DAKAR. I'm getting confused, We Off Road fans since he was 16 are wondering, whats the plan? Even as a fan, I can't be at two places at once. Go Big or Go Home !!, is that still our plan?

It use to be rooting for race wins, then a good finish to stay in the top 35. Now it's about Friday to see if RG can even make the field and then S&P! Now it's weather reports from So Cal, Monster Trucks... UGH!!!!!, I've been an RG fan since he was running that 66 Ford PU, stadium Toyota's,IMSA with ROUSH,but this is ridicules. Dump the damn NASCAR shit and stick with Off Road and put something together with sports cars.
