So what does an unemployed NASCAR engineer do with themselves. They go on vacation. Last week I drove about 3000 miles round trip from Charlotte to Massachusetts to Wisconsin and back to visit friends and family. When I left on Monday morning I saw the last couple of haulers (20 and the 99) on their way back to their respective shops from Pocono. They were definitly in teardown after the race, so they were a little later than the rest. Then on the way home from Wiscnonsin on Wednesday I saw the 20 hauler headed out to Michigan...so the circus keeps on rolling.

I was in the car for the entirety of the WG race, which was good that it was on the radio to hear it atleast, but I would have rather watched it on TV as it is one of the more visually interesting races to watch. I was sorry to hear that Rob did so terribly. I obviously still have friends on the team and want them to do well, and I know the level of detail that goes into the road cars at RGM. I think they tested more for the road courses this year than ever before, so I don't know what happened. Obviously it could have been a very different week if the rain had not wiped out qualifying.

So on to Michigan...The 1.5 package had been working decent, so perhaps a good result is in the cards.

Jeremy,
I would be very interested in your take on Robby's current woes. You certainly have a unique ability to voice it. I applaud your willingness to post here. Many people would be bitter and not want anything to do with anything Robby Gordon. I hope that you land something as good as Greg Erwin did very soon. Best wishes.

I think Robby fired the wrong engineer to be honest. I think the guy that should have gotten canned started with W and ended with alter Giles.

my opinion is the rgm chassis are junk, and should be used for boat anchors.... JMO

Jeremy, I hope you are employed soon. I also would like to hear your take on the 7's season.

glad to see you are still around.... with robby running so poorly this year and you have been around rob and the crew.... what is your assessment of the team?.... why running so bad?... what changes need to be made?... something has got to change soon or he wont have many sponsors left.... you can only sponsor a sub-par team for so long.... just wondered what was your take
