    i cant even explain how important this race is.

    an event that brings so many from around the world together only to be taken away by the hands of evil.

    i hope those bastards die a slow painful death.

    preignite on a suicide bombing or something. those fuks don't deserve to live anyway.

    ive just gotten off robby gordans web site.... i was really pulling for him to do well. i think him winning the baha 1000 and years of experience at the dakar were set for a good event. his team was even fielding a second car. but as we all now know, it means nothing.

    SUCKS.

    It would be so hard to train all year, prepare, and for it to be cancelled.
