    Oh hell yes! Getting stoked for that. I have a couple issues left to figure out with instructors and if all goes well this will be my 4th year going to KOH.

    lol! Exactly. They get to race through some of the most gorgeous terrain. Plus a lot of those vehicles are nothing short of gorgeous either.

    Shitty! I bet RG is pissed!!!

    Crazy that Peterhansel was able to gain 1st again...he only has a 26-Second lead :eek:

    I can't even find BJB on the list. Is he 'DNF' too?

    Does anyone remember the last time Gordon had a good race in any of his races?

    He won the Parker 425 last year but was stripped of the win because he was penalized 15 minutes after the race was over for communicating with his helicopter pilot during the race.

    He also won last year's Baja 500. Finished 9th overall for the SCORE 2013 Championship.

    Yea, sounded like more fuel issues. Peterhansel is a boss! Its going to be close this year.

    BJ dropped out a stage or two ago. He had a major leak in his fuel cell and his people couldn't get it fixed well enough for him to feel safe driving the car.

    well, one win. He had many good races. You dont have to finish first to have a good race. He finished 6th in the Baja 1000 which is pretty good.

    He blasted BJ in a roosting contest/race in the dunes :p and also launched the shit out of his TT going down Oldsmobile. Robby Gordon goes until he breaks, if nothing breaks he wins, but he usually breaks

    Finished 6th after exploding a spindle too

    It was something that happened when the mounts for it broke loose. Apparently the fuel cell got pretty banged up. BJ made some rambling post on fb about not wanting to die in a fire cause he had a kid or something.

    Win or die, there is no try.

    LOL that was what I was getting at. Similar to Bubba, he's fast but he's not fast enough for his body to keep up which explains all the crashing and disasters he causes on the track.

    Well that sucks

    BJ's fuel cell mounts broke, punched a hols in the tank, but didn't leak because he was out of fuel. They can fix the mounts but he figured if they broke once they can break again, and the hole was near the exhaust so if it wasn't empty could've caught on fire
