Hey Bruno's here !

next to Robby finishing the stage that's the biggest plus of the day!.......That's gotta be a good sign!

Considering the current temp. That looks fantastic

amazing to be there with a chair and some beers

gotta build 4x4 diesel, ive been saying it for years. crappy day but long rally left.

San Luis

Thanks jaci for both pics, That top one looks like a hell of a lot of fun. 2nd one, that's damn purty!

I know the day has been filled with speculation and the wind out of most folks sails but imagine the drama if Robby makes large gains every day? I know that's a lot of if, "ifs and buts were candy and nuts" but what the hell lets look too the positive.

agreed, a few good days and today is a memory

I really hope it will happen.

I'm with you Wally. I'm just hoping whatever the problem is isn't to sever and they can get it fixed and have some great runs for the rest of the stages. Glad this happened on day 1 and not day 6 or 7!
