2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
Fuel Mileage and Making the Pit Stops at the Right Time
Fuel Mileage and Making the Pit Stops at the Right Time.
Is this Robby's year for a great road course victory?
A short fun quote from Bump-Draft
Whether you love Robby Gordon or hate him- he’s one guy about which everybody has a strong opinion. One thing for sure: he’s his own guy and there’s not another driver in NASCAR like him. He’s a racer’s racer.
Someone once said of Tony Stewart, that he could put four wheels on a cockroach and win a race with it. Robby Gordon would be right there with him….running a special off-road edition cockroach and pushing Smoke all the way home.
His way may not always be right, but it’s his way.
Imo....I honestly believe that Robby is Damn prepared for this weeks race at sonoma.

The real question is where will the cautions fall with regards to the pit windows and on which cautions do you pit. This is something that the Team Engineers need to wrestle with during the race but they also need to factor in the odds of cautions occuring after their prior pit stop and before their next pit window. This was something that Miles did at one of the earlier races this year and which helped the team to really improve the outcome. Tire wear and fall off is also important on a road course along with brake bias and brake heat. So the Engineers need to be on their game.
Last year, Robby was .9 off in first practice; .3 seconds off is 2nd and .1 off and in 3rd. So they dialed the car in late. Let's hope they have it right when they on load this year.

do you remember last year, Robby said
" the 14's track bar is all the way down, drop mine like his"
he was frustrated about the caution and he knew he had cars to pass

Here's my prediction for the race.2 GWC's and remember caution laps after lap110 are not counted officially,but they are still laps,so I predict a total race distance of 120laps, making it a three stop race. Pit at laps 30,60,90
Sears mostly has full course cautions

worst thing to do is overthink strategy. Just go with the flow of the race. call audibles if need be.

You are so correct, that;s why you say screw the fuel mileage and keep the brakes as cool as possible make the fenders strong and work their asses over on the restarts...........

If there's audio to go with it, there will for sure be a 7 second delay and a lot of bleeping when Robby talks to his CC

Robby's decals indicate an in-car camera for the event... hope they put a "CUSS BANK" next to them to remind him about "F" bombs and "POS's. He, he, he!
