Hello everyone at home
After our unfortunate accident in the truck we stayed in race mode and made things happen. We were successful in meeting back up with the team in Valparaiso after a very long drive up through Chile. The roads are very good there so the trip was easy but it wasn’t much fun because we were out of the loop for a couple days.
Once we arrived back with the team Tom, Glen and I immediately started to help out with racecar maintenance. We had some very long nights working on the cars after each stage but it was enjoyable being back in the mix. One night in La Serena we never went to sleep and finished the cars after sunrise.
All of the hard work buy all paid off because Robby ended up finishing third place overall. This podium finish is his best to date and everyone on the team is feeling really good and proud of the result.
Yesterday we all were involved with the podium ceremony and it was a very special day, our team along with Robby’s antics was definitely the show stopper. Last night we all went out to celebrate and we started the party by hitting the local go kart track. Robby finished first of course but I was feeling really good with a third place finish.
Please check back for more updates because I am editing photos and video and should have something to show within the next 24 hours.
Congratulations to all Team Dakar USA members!
