I'm getting old. I watched it and thought, ohhhh my back. Looks like a ton of fun, but I wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a couple days after each race.

It looks like ridiculous fun. I'd just be too much of a wimp to go anywhere near that fast.

It helps having a roll cage and rally experience.

What I never get about rally racing is why any spectators would stand so close. Absurd.

Eh. Good suspension and you'll be fine.

I know. I wonder if they have to sign an injury waiver beforehand?

Loose surfaces are so fun.

The one I love is when a car goes off and turns over. They all rush to help turn it over.

BUT, the next guy may just go off at the same place.....

A couple of buddies and I did the European Rallye School in FL back in about 2002.

It was a HOOT. All day on loose surfaces.

Me ?? Just give me a Can-Am Maverick X3 Turbo and a wide-open desert and I'd be happy:
