Dakar Merchandise

Anyone ever bought anything from Dakar's online store?

I looked around for Dakar stuff last year and was not able to find anyone shipping to the US.

I ordered some stuff from the online boutique last year. No issues other than you have to pay in Euros, so you can really only estimate what will be charged to your card. Of course the Euro has dropped against the dollar since then as well, so the prices are technically a little better. Just a warning though, the t-shirts have these lame sewn-on patches. They don't look bad on the site, but when you get them home... well they are a bit dorky. No issues with delivery.

Not a big Hummer fan, but I have to say I think that it is great that there is an American driver (Robby Gordon) and and American Car Company participating this year. Like I said, not a hummer guy, but F-It none of the Rovers or Bowlers really have a shot and Gordon is a great all-around driver - Baja, Indy, Nascar, Dakar - Damn!


cheers,

Ted

Bought a couple things from them as well with no issues.

Any advice on who has the best coverage of the race? TV wise?

I think OLN covers it very sparsely... not sure though.

Probably only going to be covered on OLN - don't expect anything out of the speed channel - they are now only interested in nascrap and custom bike shows. We ended up cancelling speed on our cable subscription and wrote them a really nice scathing letter to let them know we cancelled and why.

I'm hoping that OLN does some run up programming as well as the Dakar itself. Not that they will but it would be nice to see some programming on the Bowlers. Can't keep on watching the same snippets out of top gear.
