I find the website from dakar.com that already put the entry list 2012 for cars: http://www.dakar.com/dakar/2012/docs/LISTE_ENGAGES_AUTOS.pdf

que noticias hay del Hummer ?
Looks like its a single car operation. Racing to sell drinks this year and then the big show next year.
Whats the big show next year?
Robby mentioned at some interview that we would run the Hummer in 2012 and then build some new machinary that is more competitive for 2013. Tight on cash so I think he will driving the hummer extra sideways just to win fans so he can sell drinks in South America. Hopefully make some money that can bring his dakar program back.
If I remember right, last year the second rig did not show up on the list until close to the race.
Anyone know if Mark Miller is running Dakar this year? It would be interesting to see him in the second Hummer.
couldn't find Miller on the entry list but there is still time.
I got the feeling that he Robby werent real buddy buddy after Robby entered the Hummer with his dad driving the year VW bought SCORE for the year and they brought the Dakar Touregs. I remember his interview wasnt very nice ttowards Robby. Maybe im wrong.
I have to think anyone driving the 2nd Hummer is going to have to bring their own backing or the major portion. If Robby has to do this on his own with some of the minor backing he usually has he would be better off putting it all into one entry and his support group. Having a 2nd entry in the race is a big advantage but this year is it worth the cost or even possible if it all comes from the same budget. Mark Miller is still with VW and Redbull I believe? so that leaves him out. BJ obviously isn't a possability for a number of reasons. Darren Skilton has Mark McMillan entered in a jeep but his own entry shows the make blank?? doubtful but who knows.
I thought the second hummer was rebuilt and for sale. That only leaves the orange one. The hiluxes look cool and seems I saw something about McMillan driving for team Jeep. That surprised me a bit.

that was a support hummer, not the "race" hummer that Eliseo Salazar drove.

Aah! Didn't know about those! Thanks.
