Robby Gordon Press Release that didn't make the cut

Response to Vanguard press release:

"Ronn is a wealthy gentlemen who was someone buying a full ride with a stage winning Dakar team. Ronn Bailey merely used his company to as a resource for his own private endeavor." (Via pre-tax funds) Similar to what many wealthy adventures do as their assumed right.

However, when the The Dakar rally for 2008 got cancelled/rescheduled due to terrorist threats after 4 tourist were killed in Africa, he did not take the adventurer stance and accept the risks involved from the outset.Then, a month later, Ronn (Just For Men) Bailey wanted the money back.

For goodness sake he even bought bullet proof vests for the rally/adventure. I wonder if he has he requested a refund for those because no one shot at him?

Well this is the big boys and even Disneyland doesn't give refunds when The Big Boys Roller Coaster is shut down for the day. Robby Gordon Motorsports is a business and we don't build million dollar race cars for free.


As a consolation to the January race, Robby Gordon Motorsports was going out of our way to let him drive in the 7 day Dakar Series next month as a freebee. He should have taken that offer as for it would have been fun for Ronn, he would have some adventure and he would have gained some seat time to help his basic driving abilities.

"Robby Gordon Motorsports builds the best off road race cars in the World and also gains the largest exposure for American companies in the Dakar Rally Series. We stand buy our product. Ronn Bailey and more importantly Vanguard will continue to gain exposure for the next 3 years and we expect all parties involved to honor their commitments as gentleman.
