Some read notes. Some did not seem to. This wasn't a rally but it was rally cars and on TV.

Travis is good but X Games is not a proof of that. At least as far as rallying goes. X Games does require good car control skills but it also seem to require a lot of luck. And unlike rally where a...

On the other hand, since Checkpoint bought their stuff from overseas (at least some of it), there may not be much of a price break. Now stuff manufacturered in the US should have a reasonable price...

We can all hope that won't happen this year.

Not yet. But we can hope. And the weird claim was not made by Travis but by someone who obviously is not familar with rally.

In all seriousness, I think we have two young drivers coming up who...

No john, I have a very low tolerance for foul mouthed little people who try to tear down a sport that I have be involved with for over 37 years.

You no longer compete even when your friends offer...

As usual, john vanlandinham has to denigrate all of US rallying. Of course, every one knows that john really deserves a WRC ride since he almost won once in a SAAB 96.

Every body can quit complaining. It has been changed. Does this mean George Bush was wrong?

This seems to be all over the motorsport forums. I even read it on a Subaru forum. I suspect Travis has heard about it by now. If he is in the US that is. Or at least in range of a person with a...

I had to read all of that page before I saw the listing towards the bottom of the page that he allegedly was the World Rally Champion in 2007. Don't you guys in the rest of the world know that George...

Torque steer can be fun. I used to rally a SAAB 900T. :)

Z34TEEN,
Go to specialstage.com You can rally a car with over 2L displacement in the US. I run a 5L Mustang. Also checkout http://www.rally-america.com

Yes, NASCAR still uses leaded gas but it will be cut out in a year or so. I don't remember the actual date of the switch to unleaded fuel.

Not listed but by far the biggest emitter is American football. There are 32 teams with 15 games a week each attracting close to 200,000 fans who for the most part drive to each game. The teams fly...

Given this is a motor sports forum, a short bit about our wedding 20 years ago. We were married in a park. The "aisle" was marked with arrows from rallying. At the head of the aisle where the Justice...

Some of us can to turn right!

PS - Yes, I know the date. :)

Well, since I like Travis, I hope you are at least a little wrong. :)

I hope he does very well but I won't predict a win.

What does the collective think about how Travis Patrana will do with the more experienced Derek Rinker instead of Christian Edstrom. By the way, Christian is a great guy.

Modern electronics in cars can be quite irritating. My VW GTi won't let you use both the brake and the accellerator when left foot braking. Once the brake goes on, the computer assumes that you want...

Sprite indeed is a Coke product but 7-Up is its own brand and happens to be owned by Cadbury Schweppes although I think I heard on the news that C-S was selling them and Dr. Pepper off again.

I didn't know Guinness was that expensive.

Easy Drifter, I hear summer is beautiful up there in Canada, especially if it comes on a weekend. :)
Richard in Texas where it is supposed to be 86F/30C today

Sure an aircraft landing light would have helped you. Those suckers put out lots of heat. If it had been mounted on the dash, it would have kept the windshield nice and toasty. Okay, that was a smart...

Ah, the engine gets up to temperature, puts heat in the coils and melts the snow putting warm moist air in the cabin of the van. Here in Texas, we don't claim to know a lot about snow. And if you saw...

Unlike Fords, GM use a regulating valve in the hot water line to control temperature. Ford uses a blend valve to mix hot and cold air. Just thinking as I type so ignore any thing not making sense....
