What are those jackstands that they use? And how do they work? I only saw a quick glimpse of them,

There is no HP limit on rally cars. Forced induction cars must have a restrictor to limit power output, but NA cars don't require one

What was the difference between Saturday's "Rally Car" and Sunday's "RallyCross"? Missed both days.

It was much better than last year. Pastrana driving with hand controls and a broken foot was impressive. Kinda glad Doran didn't win on Sunday, he seemed a bit too arrogant saying how easy it was on Saturday.

At least we beat Mitsubishi!!! 1 bronze to none. I remember the first x games rally cross had all types of different gen subies n EVOs. I would love to see something like that again, although it'll never happen cuz ford changed the game when they put a monster car with a plastic fiesta body kit.

Did you see the in car of Pastrana when he hit the wall during the final? Geeeeezzzz did he look like he was in pain. His leg got jarred all over. All I can say is I wouldn't have been able to race like that...

Mehinks that the organizers didn't want the sponsor hats on for TV, and that Deegan was well prepared for it. |

I think that's the first time I've ever seen a hat involuntarily removed by someone walking by during an interview during any race and not replaced. I've seen them go on randomly, and I've seen them changed randomly, but never simply removed. |

I'm amazed they let him race like that. As he climbed out you could see that his toes were completely uncovered. No other sanctioning body would have let him in that car in just a bare cast with open toes. He'd need to have it all completely wrapped up in Nomex and potentially with a closed toe cast as well.

Last year Subaru were using tweaked rally cars for the Super Rally at X-Games. You can't expect to ask for 50%+ more power from the engine (and run it through the existing drivetrain) without major problems, hence why Pastrana blew up before he even started last year and why Isachsen lasted less than a lap. This year the GR Imprezas for GRC/X-Games were specifically built for rallycross, with the engines also designed with rallycross rather then rally in mind. I only discovered it just prior to X-Games XVII, but Subaru USA have also been taking advice from Per Eklund with regards to transmission and engine setup to try and get the cars competitive. I think it shows as the Subaru's looked way more competitive then they have in previous years when compared to the Fiesta's (despite them failing to get a podium in the rallycross this year). Quote:
Massive disappointment from Block again. The guy seems to have an incredible amount of bad luck when it comes to reliability. Having said that, it seemed an odd time to debut his (rather pointless) new car. Why not stick with one of the tried and testing MSE rallycross Fiesta's? Quote:
I've yet to see the full coverage, but the interviews I have seen don't seem to have come across very well. He can clearly drive, but I think he needs to mellow a bit. Overall though, from what I've seen of it this year (I'm still trying to find a download of the full coverage! ), I thought it was vastly superior to last years chaotic "rally" (I use the term loosely) on Saturday and rallycross oval last year. I hope (Euro-style) rallycross continues to grow at X-Games - and in the US in general. |

I had to watch a few replies to not be disappointed in Tanner. But I think he just over cooked it on the brakes and Doran was right there at the wrong place. I don't believe Tanner booted Doran on purpose. Considering their battles I interpret it as both just being VERY aggressive... and two masses cannot occupy the same place, same time. |

Foust did well to recover, its just a pity that the tight circuit didn't afford Doran much space to recover and continue. |

Honestly, I just don't see why X-Games or any of the event organizers wouldn't let them wear sponsor hats when sponsors are a huge part of the event. If that were the case then all the driver suits and cars would have been blank. |

They probably swapped hats out so they could give it away as a promo item to a VIP.
"Here's a hat that has Brian Deegan's Brosweat all over it." Yipee! |

Really enjoyed watching it this year. Loved it when it was free and subaru was the main sponsor, but with the way the sun was beating down yesterday, I was glad to be at home watching it
They should definitely do an article on the the cars. Seemed like those fords were so much more powerful than the STis. |
