Congrats, Robbie

[Neil C]

Congratulations to Rob Buhl, IRL driver an 10/10's member, for a great qualifying effort this year at Indy.

Robbie, good luck. Show them not all the oval talent is at CART or Nascar.

I thought this was going to be about Robbie Gordon. Mr. Crash and Smash qualified quite respectably last weekend, much to everyone's surprise (including his) although he is "between jobs" at the present time. Well done anyway, Bubba.

P.S. I'm afraid I don't know who Robbie Buhl is.

where did he qualify Neil ???

I havent caught up with the happens at Indy as yet but so far I believe that Scott Sharp has the pole position ??

Liz robbie Buhl is a member of our ten tenths forum and in the past he has won the Indy lites championship before moving onto champcars (called indycar then) unfi=ortunately he didnt have the best run in champcars because of not being able to gain a ride with a top team and was basically towards the middle of the grid with undefunded teams.

he has since of course joined the IRL and has one victory to his name I believe..he currently drives the Purex sponsored car.

he has been a regular at indy for several years now and has driven with the mighty menard team in the past.

he also has a foundation set up called "racing for kids" this is a great organisation which helps underprivilleged children and also sick children and raises money for them through racing activities.

I have never met the man but from what i have seen he is a very nice bloke and a very good racer as well.

Good luck at Indy Robbie and i hope your drinking the Milk at the end of it

Thanks, Marcus - and I will add my good wishes for you, Robbie Buhl, and since you are part of the family, I promise to keep an eye on your career from now on! You sound like a very deserving guy and I hope you do almost as well as Gil and Helio at Indy. (Sorry, I'm a Penske Bbe! ... but seriously, best of luck for the race and for the season.)
