ROBBY WINS!


ROBBY WINS PARKER!
1st place in Unlimited Trick Truck
**************************************
Robby does a Bonsai test run for the win. He filled up the H-3s 100 gallon tank and raced non-stop for the win. Zero flats again! Go Toyo Tires! And a test session results in a win.
"Perhaps even more important than the win, was the fact that there were absolutely no issues with the performance of the Hummer H3 and at the end of the day Gordon drove to a local gas station, fueled up and drove the street legal truck home."

Update 2:08 PST : Robby in his Hummer H-3 leads all Trophy Trucks with 20 miles to go!

As stated in the last post. Fly will post updates on the Dakar Spot when ever Robby races the Hummer or we get major news about the Hummer.

So here is the latest, in an effort to maximize testing for the 2007 Dakar Rally, Robby has broke out the H-3 this weekend for the Best in The Desert Parker 425 in Nevada. He is competing in the Trophy Truck class.

Robby has changed the engine and removed the Dakar FIA required 37mm air restictor for a bit more power. Although the Hummer is under powered against the unlimited cars and Trophy Trucks RG managed to qualify an astounding 8th place out of the 190 entries over all.
