gotta love those Mini's.. man! are they throwing down! - Thanks
I'm curious to know what exactly it was about Gordon's engine that didn't conform to the regs.
Idk anything about this race but why is their Hummer so unreliable!?
I guess Robby's team made some air intake changes that the ACO or who ever didn't like. Since it's Robby Gordon we're talking about, I don't see this ending any time soon, it should be fun.
Is that rlealy all there is to it because that'd be flabbergasting.
