That is a good point, and really the only positive thing I can say about it.

Its a complete joke compared to REAL rally racing.

Maybe Im a little pissed that the media is finally giving rally racing a little airtime but are only doing so bc a few motocrossers and skateboarders started participating and got it into the X games.

hopefully they'll have more sponsors next year not just one. my heart broke when that white evo 9 landed a bit short on the rear and messed up his rear suspension. bad day for evo for sure.

If you have dish network, channel 100 is running all the event re-runs, for now atleast... but if not, go to www.expn.com they have all the events and re-caps.

I am not sure about the evo that jacked up his suspension on the jump but the evo that ended up not competing was a guy that was on there on his own dime. He also did an endo when they practiced the jump a couple days before so just getting it ready for the race was an accomplishment given all the body work they had to do.

It was a bit dissapointing for the evo, but considering that it was a subie event, I am not really suprised. Over all, it looks like the drivers had fun and it was entertaining to watch.
