    MINI might be the favorite to win.

    To bad they don't have a car/truck to benefit from the exposure. :rolleyes:
    The sponsor off road with no off road product. They don't support racing for products they do have. :confused5: :crazy: :nonod:

    They wounder why sales are off.

    You don't need to be a Robby Gordon fan to enjoy these videos. A little late in the game given they're all about building cars and getting ready but still worth a watch if you didn't see them when aired on NBCSN. Fascinating stuff, IMO. I'm surprised to say I actually enjoyed the support truck build and fitting more than the car(s). They built two cars but are only running one...wonder what happened there.

    I'm betting the guy who screams like a scared ten year old girl doesn't think it's himself he's hearing when he watches the video.....
