Robby Gordon Stage 2 Quotes

Robby Gordon Stage 2 Quotes after finishing 47th.

"Well, we were actually pretty good through the first few checkpoints,and I just drove it off the road. One corner snuck up on me and I just didn't see it and I just drove it off the road. Very unfortunate for us,being an hour behind heading into Chile , we got our work cut out for us , but I think we wil be ok. We smashed the front of the car & the transmission doesn't have reverse, we were broke down for maybe an hour "

IMO, reverse gear broke and damaged the case.(not an oil line issue)causing the oil leak

IDK the exact brand of transmission he is using, but most off-road tranny's have a very weak reverse gear.  That gear is the most vulnerable thing on the entire car.  The hummer is nothing more than a Score class 1 buggy with a hummer body and a whole lot of extras.  Not putting it down just an observation.  I think the hummers are excellent.  If there is a gear that is going to break, its going to be the reverse.  That being said, it shouldn't affect the rest of the trans.  I am sure he went down there with 15 transmissions knowing this to be the case.

I believe what their running is an Albins transmission................and the reason that reverse went out is because he most likely broke it trying to back off the rock.

Or maybe trying to take a little heat off Kellon.  Good leaders and teams stick together, good and bad.
