Anyone else a Dakar junkie? http://www.dakar.com/index_DAKus.html It's Dakar time again! This year's event kicked off today with the podium ceremony with the presentation of the contenders and crews in Buenos Aires, Argentina. South America is a great place for this race. If you haven't seen any of it in the past you don't know what you're missing!

Comment from the one and only #19:37 : Robby Gordon: "Here to win" A Hummer is a vehicle which is difficult not to notice, especially if it is fluorescent orange. Robby Gordon made a big impression on his entrance to the grand hall of the La Rural exhibition centre to undergo scrutineering. True to himself, the American driver proved to be boldly confident. "I'll say it and I'll say it again, we're here to win the race. We've worked a lot and put in plenty of effort for this rally. Now the challenge is to win the Dakar. We'll need a bit of luck. This car is probably the best prepared that I've ever had. We've worked a lot on the car's height as well the inflation and deflation system. The engine is better. In two days' time, we'll see if we're at the same level as the others". ________________________________________________________________________ Jonah Street is back also riding a YZF450. Rule change has most everyone on 450's now. These bikes will rip but might get winded on the long straight flat sections. Wonder how they'll hold up over course of the race?
