Pastrana gets former world champ co-driver

[uncoversport]

Travis Pastrana's co-driver has retired, so they guy is getting a guest apperance from McRae's old co-driver Derek Ringer for this weekend's Rally America round!

Derek makes an interesting comment there, hinting that it might not be a one off.

I wonder when this guy is going to give the full PWRC a crack. He's still young, can clearly drive and he has the money to do it, surely if he wins a third Rally America title this year he will move on to bigger and better things.

I think we won three motorcross titles, maybe that's the lucky number for progression.

Cool news. Thanks.

To bad, since the old co-driver, the swedish guy Christian Edsström, came to this forum from time to time and told us of their work.
Good for Travis though to have such an experienced co-driver at his side.

Travis has made it no secret that the backflips on the motorcycle are being put on hold for a bit to focus on his rallying career. I hope he does make an attempt at a full rally programme. He has some talent behind the wheel of the Impreza.

Will be interesting to see how things pan out.

I'll be at 100 Acre Wood to see Travis and Derek this weekend, will be happy to post pics as a small 'thank you' for all the great pics I find on this forum.

Sweet! Do it man.

Is there some kind of rep system on this board?

It will be interesting to see how Travis adjusts to a new codriver. I know the notes are computer generated, but more about how he gets along with him for 4 days at an event. Hope travis doesnt find himself in a cycle of searching for a new codriver for every other event, this could put a serious distraction to his R-A championship run this year.

I wish I could get down to Missouri (5 hour drive), but I blew my holiday time on Sweden!

Pastrana/Ringer is on the entry list to Rally Argentina

FYI - we discussed this a bit on pg. 31 of the News and Rumours thread in the WRC forum.

I think Travis and Derek will do very well this weekend. And in Argentina for that matter.
