Good honest talk. Arrogance in check. BJ's hugely talented. A great competitor. He did not say it specifically, but what he did say adds to the story of "The Legendary Robby Gordon."

"Robby taught me half of what I know". Sounds like BJ has plenty of respect for RG.

This is why BJ is tied for my second favorite driver.

BJ states that he has been down there for three weeks pre-running. Wow! BJ and his Monster team/budget take this very seriously.

I know there are other reasons, but this alone tells me that it would be tough for BJ to compete in SST.

But whatever, BJ still needs to be in SST. Robby should invite him for a cameo some time. Just me and my friends yuk'n it up. Sorry Mr. Big Green M.

Congratulations Robby and team! Beautifully done! Bravo!

All right then... In The Dakar, Robby, would proclaim, "We have the fastest car out there." Robby recently said, "In my mind, we won the Parker 425."

Well this time the race victory is truly Robby's! Awesome job! Little room for opposing views now. Robby YOU ARE the man, the car, and the team to beat!

Keep it fun. Keep it safe. I know..., for a TT driver relative to what!?

I did not take the time to watch this live, but I want to make a point of how it appears Red Bull bought the rights to broadcast this event. This is the Erzberg Rodeo.

http://www.redbull.com/us/en/motorsports/offroad/events/13315855861...

So here's my dream in the sky. Someday..., when Speed Energy has the money that Red Bull does, Speed creates a high quality broadcast show of the Baja races. I know there are huge production cost, and I don't exactly how you would do it. Ain't got that far yet.
