[J-Rod]

Congrats to Rhys and the team.
This year's X Games will go down in history as when Rally blew up in America.
I'm serious, it's going to open the flood gates for rally fans across the country.

Problem is I don't know who to root for.
Colin, Ken, Travis, Rhys it's going to be gnarly!!!!

[tony speed]

Rally in America died the day the SCCA sold off Pro Rally and the Press-On-Regardless stopped being #1.

Sorry, but no X-Games festival can replace true rallyists bombing around Michigan in their own homebrews in search of that last tenth on the logging trails.

there's always the purists.

Sure, it won't be the same. But people have to accept that times change. The exposure of Rally through mainstream television will only pave the way for Drifting in the next few years. mark my words.

SCCA Pro Rally had a sweet TV deal on SpeedTV.

But with high-profile driver deaths and mounting pressure from enviromentalist and insurance groups to take the rallies away completely, there wasn't much that could be done to save REAL Rallying.

The sad thing is that we have such a great rallying history and legacy here stateside, and these punks at X-Games are going to go around thinking that it's one more import sport. It's a slap in the face of Real Rallying, and one more step back from ever bringing the sport back as it should be - a test of man and machine against the harsh reality of the stopwatch on the most challenging roads available.

I bet it'll be on closed courses only.

Yay....? I'm sure you're right. It's gonna turn into monter truck/super-x kind of sport.
