X Games Rally Roster Announced
I can't stand seeing the list official list.
Just because some people are famous and x games medalist in other sports doesn't mean they should catch an invite to the big show.
The two of them are taking up spots that other non famous but better drivers and teams have worked for all year! the X games is rewarding partially just by competeing in it because it makes for better and bigger sponsors to come your way which means next years diet will be a little easier on the wallet! Not to mention it is the big show here in the us.
Teams have poured blood sweat and tears to get to where they are in rally America. Where does Mirra stand in points! Deegan just started last month at STPR!!!
It's politics everywhere...

Mirra would have qualified no matter what, he has been doing really well all season, I can't say the same for Deegan on the other hand, but on the plus side it will bring more attention to the sport we all love.
Ehh He has a factory ride.
I know it will bring attention to the sport but the X Games in general will. The increase in rally popularity in the US isn't like the spikes of popularity in the past that we have seen stateside and I think it's surely do to the X Games... I just think that it's a bad habit. What happends if Tony Hawk or Jon Olson decide they want to hold a steering wheel... is the rope going to open for them too?

that's rad that Sobieski Vodka sponsored Wiktorczyk. it would be funny to see him to get on the podium and be seen drinking a bottle w/ the vodka label. I'm tired of all the red bull and monster product placement. I'm sure espn and disney would love that. haha!
I thought x-games berths were by points or something? I have buddies who raced in Rally America and CRC in group 2 with a FWD Lancer and they came within a hair of an X-games berth I swear he told me once. They would rent a car for the event he said.
I'm 93.6% sure that happened

There were a bunch of at large spots and the rest was done by rally america points
an update on MJ from Jason Grahn:
The crew is scrambling for parts. As I understand it, they already have body parts on the way, but are looking for the proper suspension bits.
