I have the faith but Robby sound beat
Quotes stage 4 read as follows..

Robby says..
We started off second and we got through some really gnarly, silty stuff. We went over a dune and it was just straight down with one right end to it. We idled into it just enough to tip us over the front, honestly, five miles an hour probably, it wasn't a big rollover. Except it put all the weight of the vehicle on the front, broke the windshield and flopped it on its roof and we had to wait for new radiators to get to us. It was a long wait. It's been a disappointing rally for us; we expected so much more. The first day I was too conservative and this dune I went over just a little too much, so we can't find a happy medium I guess. The rollover was honestly five miles an hour. It stood on the top for a while and I thought it was going to come backwards, but it just flopped over. It wasn't that dangerous except for the fact that we were on the other side of the dune. It was probably five to seven minutes before Peterhansel got there, so we'd already put some gap on him, but that doesn't do us any good now. You know, we just needed to have a good day today. I don't know what's going wrong… Like I said, we've just had a horrible rally so far this year. I don't see a bright side coming, because it's going to be a long ten days. Last year we were so good most of the rally and this year we started off conservatively like I did last year and it's just been unfortunate. We haven't been able to put it all together. We've got the team, we've got the cars, but I guess the drivers are making mistakes. It's just unfortunate. I think we're going to have sit back and see if it really makes sense to continue or not.

Ahhhhgh.. Just think tho... without RG this race is a mediocre highlight real at the end at best...Robby has made this race a must watch daily and follow it like horses to water... Only RG can motivate FANS and without a doubt he has... hearts are broken all over the WORLD. However there is a new door that just opened and it is pure entertainment...tomorrow one race at a time!, i know the big prize is outta reach but just think of all them specials just waitin for the American Rebel! "Throttle adjustment=wide open"
