Yesterday’s Rally was a good one. The X Games have a way of making every sport more exciting than ever. Like building a Rally track that rivals something from Hot Wheels. The track had a jump with an 80 foot gap. That sounds cool enough, but while the one car was in the air the other was passing underneath. The track conditions were also great. Sand, dirt, pavement, a little mud from crashing into the water barriers, made it a challenge for the drivers to adapt to all the surfaces. They were also only allowed to run gravel tires. Not the best for pavement while drifting around corners.

Pastrana had a great race in the semi’s but slid around the corner to the finish line, hitting Foust and crossing into his lane. At first it appeared Pastrana had one but they DQ’d him for going out of bounds. The final was another good race. Again coming down to the last corner. Foust / Beavis took home the Gold and Block / Gelsomino got Silver. Pastrana didn’t go home empty handed, he ended with a Bronze.

If you missed it, hopefully you can catch it on reruns. It was a great race and now I guess I have to wait a year to see another.
