<p>Interesting thread - sort of. I enjoyed TOG's post.</p>
<p>The recycled NASCAR subject is truly getting old - though, I understand the desire to have something "every Sunday".</p>
<p>I may be the contrarian here; but, I like the SST in the Indy/road course format much better than the stadium format. It sort of feels like the series may be 1 or 2 tweaks from really taking off. I like the adjustments to changing realities.</p>

<p>While I wish RG every success in the SST series (and, I do hope it's successful) - if it isn't it will be just as interesting to see what RG does next. I watched him race Mickey Thompson at Anaheim Stadium, 24 hour, SCORE, Indy Car, Champ Car, NASCAR, DAKAR, SST, (insert next item)</p>
<p>The creativity, "imagineering" and unknowns are part of what makes RG fun to root for.</p>
<p>I think the timing for this is a bit unfortunate. I'm no marketing guru...but, it seems that advertising is really changing. Traditional formulas for return on investment are crumbling daily with companies using all sorts of new (relatively unproven) methods to advertise.</p>
<p>I would think that hurts RG a bit. Not just selling a series/format but also trying to sell how the advertising/sponsorships will pay off. 10 years ago - the latter "sale" would have been a given.</p>
<p>You know what I miss? Speed.TV. That was awesome....and, I'm sure it was expensive. But, Glenn Beck is now bankrolling wholly supported by internet (vs. network or cable programming)</p>
<p>Compared to my "stare at the computer" life - watching all the things RG does in a week/weekend was really interesting. Maybe he needs a spray tan, boobs and a <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">huge</span> massive butt (Kardashian reference) - folks seem to enjoy watching that trash.</p>
<p>Here's to a great X games weekend.</p>

Agreed, I'm on both sides...lol. The start and park days were no fun...when he was fully funded with JimBeam now that was racin'. Glory Days for RGM in NASCAR.<br />
At least Speed Energy has taken off..so never say never...I'm talking about way into the future..with another driver behind the wheel, Robby on top of the pitbox. Until then I'll buckle up and pull those belts tight. Robby is the pilot of the big machine that has enough room to fit all the planet members. Gas On

<p>@Bigzoom, I miss hearing Robby yelling "This F@#$%^& won't turn for shit". Miss watching him on Sunday's. I also know it's over. Bummer it is. What I really enjoy is the new direction RGM/RGOR is going. One more thing talk about a business savvy person, Robby continues to move forward with successful decisions. "<em>We are all just along for the ride. Enjoy"</em></p>

Exactly...it would be different if this was a strictly SST offroad site. The Planet is broken down into every form of racing. If Robby jumped on a BMX bike to do a bunny hop we would go bananas and talk about how sweet that 1 inch of air was.

<p>This is a fan forum. I have every right to express my OPINION just like anyone else. There's a few on here that only want to see Robby run on dirt...fine. I want to see him run back in NASCAR and dirt. Geez! I will watch the X-Games and watch NASCAR driver Robby Gordon compete! LOL!</p>

<p>I have watched the last 2 SST events and I have to say---It is great racing. Think about blending indy cars with trophy trucks and you have formula truck racing. Leave it to Robby---to me he is the Rockefeller of motor racing in this century. His hard work, big dreams and persistence have really paid off. Mark it down folks---in 5 years this form of racing is going to be very big. I think paired with Indy Cars and racing with them is good for Robby---no problems setting up the tracks,…</p>

Mark it down folks---in 5 years this form of racing is going to be very big. I think paired with Indy Cars and racing with them is good for Robby---no problems setting up the tracks, promoting, etc. Then get into other events to fill the schedule. Look what he has accomplished in 2 years in this economy---(I know, I know---we are seeing green shoots everywhere--bla, bla, bla). A quick side note that is very important to you Nascar fans out there---I have a 17 year old and you could not pay him or his friends to sit down and watch 10 minutes of a nascar race. Looking forward to this weekend---should be fun full weekend of racing which is not something you can say for nascar</p> I gotcha, this is no vacation…tag:www.planetrobby.com,2014-06-04:2181693:Comment:7235862014-06-04T02:34:24.073ZWestCoast 2 VVhttp://www.planetrobby.com/profile/VincenteVargas

Since Robby will be in TX for he X Games, why not shoot over to Gas Monkey Garage. Buy a few junk cars, walk around the shop with Speed gear...pass out a few..lol. May see him on a future episode...free commercial kinda. I know dumb idea
