2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
Keeping it real about Charlotte and the rest of the races from here on out.
I just got off the phone with Robby. Just remember he is a fan of The Planet too... Robby reads this site and so do his crew guys. Please be cognizant of that.
Here is the deal. Robby has two new tire changers that he claims to be way faster than the previous gentlemen. I think he is correct.
Many jump to conclusions of what happened last night. What happened was the rear tire changer was removing the nuts and as you may know there is a spring in the socket that ejects the nuts so the socket is empty when the gun lands on the next nut. Well the freak luck would be when the nut ejected in mid air and the when the changer went for the next nut he caught the last nut sideways (90*) in the socket and it wedged in. These things happen to the best of them and is a part of racing, golf, football or whatever. Shit happens.
As for the exchange between 2 and 4 tires. This was a simple mistake with everyone included, including Robby. Nobody expected the golden nut to do what it did and it threw off the whole stop. Less than two months ago this wouldn't have been a factor taking two because the cars were set up different. The left front is so light now they lock up on flat ground because there is no weight on the tire due to the massive wedge it takes to get this car to work. So in the past we would have taken two and been back on the track. Live and learn boys and girls.
Robby is very excited about the entire crew he has now. He is very happy with Kirk and very very happy with the thoughts and execution by Johnny. Robby really feels he has the best cars ever and as you seen last night during their home game he was fast. Robby is still training his spotter and sees great things for both of them. He has dumped everyone for the most part and is replacing them with off-road guys. Robby feels this is better than bringing on the same pool of guys from Charlotte area.
No engineers, No NASCAR guys, Just imagineers.
Don't say... do
New ad out seeking offroad guys for NASCAR team.
Robby has a new doctrine: My way or the highway. No between
This will work for him.
So to sum it all up; good things are ahead of RGM and be nice to the crew because they are doing a very good job of busting their own balls when shit happens. They don't need to come here and get beat up. It's not good for moral and this is a direct request from Robby.
This is why The Uprising got flushed. People's feelings were getting hurt.
PS. Robby's new PRO2 is done and he is testing it next week for the Chula Vista race.

Hey Bruno... How about a JEEP version Trophy Truck? LOL!!
I just read someone suggested that if the GM/CHRYSLER happens, GM would fold the JEEP group into the HUMMER division.

After reading all of the posts, I have to chime in and say -- FINALLY!!!!! It is good to see RG's fans sticking up for him again. For a while, it was very discouraging to read some of the comments here. As I've said all along -- RG is doing what he needs to do. He may change things a lot, but he's looking to improve and you have to make changes to do that! I was ecstatic Saturday night -- it was worth staying in to watch!! The team is improving and the new crew chief seems to have the "right stuff."
As for those who are still harping on the Uprising -- I too was extremely disappointed (and asked Robby about it when I met him at Pocono) and have several t-shirts and stickers, etc. But, face it, THAT SHIP HAS SAILED!!! Just be thankful that TOG has given us The Planet. Thanks TOG!!!
At the risk of being called a rah-rah ----------------- GO # 7 - Kick Ass the rest of the year!!!

so I too just got off the phone with RG...he said he's really feeling better about the tone and tenor on the PR board now, and more importantly, his crew his a bigger bounce in their step because we're all watching out for their feelings now.
Fly - you're a peep, but I have to keep it real...folks with thin skin don't stay at RGM.
by the way, you still owe me dinner from that #42 sponsor bet from a year or so ago...do I have to wait until the mansion is done before I collect? lol

I was at Charlotte and so excited to see the car run so well. Robby was driving like a man possessed and running the high line before everyone else (Jimmie and Junior especially) discovered it. The car was sideways between turns one and two, and I kept thinking that he looked like he was driving it like a Trophy Truck. Great to hear that he has people he can trust in place.
