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 "

All he should have done was raise the car and slide one of the sand ramps between the rock and front K-memeber and it would have slid strait off... Bummer.

the photo is alittle misleading. in that photo rg is driving around the rock. all the work and time was getting him pushed back far enough so he could do that

The funny thing after watching today's Stage 3 Video, they show Robby getting a tow from the 412 car, after he finished the Special he was towed all the way into the Camp that night, showed him being towed and passing a semi-truck with a tow strap attached.

In this gallery, there is a photo of the 303 under repair last night.  What are they replacing? (for the benefit of us non-mechanical types)

for what it's worth reverse is the weak leak in almost all manual transmissions.
