2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
Robby Gordon Dakar Stage 5 UPDATE
Robby Gordon had right front wheel bearing issues before the start of the timed special, costing him about 5 hours. He completed the stage, but because he was late to the special, he is disqualified from the rally.
"This is not fair" said Gordon after the stage, "I can´t understand the descision of the Organizer ASO. During the stage the officials told me that we can still run, after the stage they told me I´m disqulified. I tried everything to start again."
The technical problems happened during the liasion, Gordon was waiting for the second Hummer of Eliseo Salazar and his Service-crew. But Salazar was still in the timed stage, the service trucks had to wait after all participants were in the stage because to fasten the border-crossing between Argentina and Chile.
"I don´t know if I will come back next year" said a disappointed Gordon. The second Hummer with Eliseo Salazar is still competing in 81st overall position.

Hola!
I'm from Argentina but live in Spain, when I was a little boy I was lucky enough to see, feel and smell the amazing and banned Rally Group B cars in action, and that thrilling feeling of danger, power and raw spectacle was never to be seen again in my country for over 20 years ... Until Robby arrived with the Dakar!!!!
Argentinians love passionate people, and give lots of passion and affection in return, I think Robby feels that... besides the whole business thing.... He still has the Eye of the tiger and will be back... just like Terminator did ;-)

Not happy with this situation, but I would say today is not the right time to make any decision about what will be Dakar 2012, there is the hole year ahead of you and the new NASCAR season. Lift it up, rest and begin thinking about Daytona. RG, the best to you this year. Saludos desde Guatemala

I hope Robby does run the rally next year but remember this, preparing for this event takes up a lot of time, effort, and money. Plus with the bad luck he's had in this rally I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't try next year.

Maybe Jimco should build Next years chassis for the Hummer as they just won another Chassis manufacture of the year award again this year as the VW are doing well and they have a lot of Jimco Parts under there Body Panels
