Team Gordon:Brian Berthold Returns
Back to Chicago start page
Robby Gordon entered a Toyota-powered Gurney Eagle for this
Chicago race. That's three different chassis for Robby this year.
He started with a Swift. Switched to a Reynard and now tries
an Eagle.
Robby chose to stay with the avian graphics when he painted
the car in his team colors.
Robby in Turn 4.
Brian was Robby's choice earlier this year when the team was
first coming together. I reported this in February when the team
shook down their new Toyota-Swift at Laguna Seca. Click this
link Team Gordon Laguna to check out
that report. Click the BACK button to return or do the home page/news
page/Chicago start page route.
Brian talks to the crew about a change to the car. The other
white shirt is Gerald Tyler, engineer for All American Racers.
They are trying to develop the Eagle chassis and Gerald served
as DAG, Data Acquisition Guy, for Team Gordon at Chicago, hoping
to learn from another driver/engineer combination.
Is this guy having fun, or what? In a few days I'll upload
an interview with Brian in a few days. We talked about his leaving
and returning to Team Gordon, and experience with the Swift chassis.
