Sorry Andrew, but I LOLed at that. 
Bunch of backstage action was missed: DVW's tantrum, the frantic efforts to get Lauchlin's engine replaced (which I helped with), Lauchlin passing a 600+hp drift car with a 115hp junkyard motor, MJ driving around in the pits trying to get his RX-8's tranny unstuck (was eventually fixed by Odi)... As usual, most of the interesting drama was in the low-buck 2WD camp. My understanding is that the 2WD guys were shafted on prize money by the GRC organizers, but Verdier paid it out of his own pocket. Self-righteous douche canoe |

Well Irwindale was fun-hot-but fun...
Lucky it wasn't even hotter actually... Didn't get to see Sean, as the pits were locked up tight-I shoulda known.......it's an X-games event now.
No escort or credentials no entry! Nothing like last time-all the drivers were kept away from the public-except for the mile-long line at the 45 minute only "autographing" session-fuck that! Anyway-we were rooting for your boys-Sean-and they gave it a pretty good effort. Here's a blurb of what happened Sunday for those that care: http://www.redbull.com/us/en/motorsports/offroad/stories/1331605474360/x-games-highlights-rallycross Actually-like I said-even though I'm a Ford dude-Foust and Heikkinen win so much- I was excited to see Rhys and Isachsen win heats. Looks like the Darts are getting there-hopefully they will catch up more to the Fiesta's with some more tweaks. Too bad the Polo's had bad luck-nice looking cars... I'm also used to seeing the Subies in GRC either fall apart,handle like crap,or just get driven poorly-so it was refreshing to see THIS guy/Car in action-he's quick-and can beat the Fords! (Click on his start-page youtube link to see the final-which was carnage filled) http://isachsenmotorsport.no/ ................................................. .....................
