Did he bog that takeoff, or was that traction control? Either way, it seems he even managed to gently caress up his fuckup.

Yes, it doesn't have hemispherical combustion chambers, this one stands for "High Energy, Multi-Ignition" or some bullshit, but I don't see how that disqualifies the post I made. Have any info that the new Hemi isn't a great engine with a great sound? e- the 392 prolly made them famous, the 426 is just what rich collectors remember because it's a bigger number.....and the 392 wasn't near the first Hemi Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 11:45 on Aug 1, 2010 |

Is it an unwritten law that all 4-rotor Mazda clips have to be short, terrible quality and poorly shot? I mean besides 787 stuff and even those aren't too common.

I still have trouble wrapping my head around the idea that Ken Block was the kick in the rear end America needed to give Rally a foothold here.

The ends justify the means. This plus F1 coming to Austin means maybe - just maybe people will realize motorsport doesn't end with NASCAR. Also you can't fault Ken's car control.

On day 2 he was out due to, as he said, a "rookie mistake". I kid. He's an amazing driver but just not on par with Europeans.

I think he's a pretty cool dude and like the average American, I don't really know much about figureheads in rally racing -- I just know about the cars making cool noises while going sideways through dirt. What was his reputation like before this energy drink and gymkhana stuff?

I always feel sorry for Hirvonen, the poor kid always looks ill to me, I think it's the dark patches under his eyes.  That's a pretty bad crash, glad to see them both wobble their way out of the car. I hope those group N guys were OK. jammyozzy fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Aug 4, 2010 |

Pretty Cool Name posted:What they call "rally" at the x games makes me sad. Hopefully the real rally competitions will get more press than that kind of abomination. Well, it's done more than anything else to expose anything remotely like that in the US. It's probably not going to reverse the dwindling numbers at NASA and RA rally events, but it was still a decent shot in the arm. If XGames has their way, the format will more to a more European rallycross style race, which wouldn't be so bad, I think. Just not stage rally (for which I'm sure there's 100 year old geezers going  at for not being classic rally).

I actually prefer rallycross to rally, but maybe that's because I'm a dimwitted American.
