    X Games rally car competition

    Anyone else catch the rally car portion of the X Games today?  Those drivers have amazing car control.  I thought it was funny that Subaru was one of the sponsors of the X Games, and the only non-Subaru competing in the event, an Evo, botched the big jump on the course and completely flipped the car over onto the roof and then back onto the wheels again.  Must be a conspiracy.

    Yeah, this year was pretty awesome. There were a few really great moments(flipping evo tops the list). Mirra limping his way to the semi-finals was also quite funny. It was sad not seeing McRae in the stadium competing though.

    Yeah, it was hilarious watching Mirra doing like 5 point turns (or more) because his steering was so hosed.  I can only imagine the kind of words that were coming out of his mouth as he tried to make it around the track, especially once he got to the roundabout.  At one point I thought he might have had more luck if he just reversed it through the course because he to have more luck steering when he was reversing.  Priceless.
