While Rally Finland was on this weekend, the other big event was the X-Games in the U.S.A. If your wondering what the X-Games Rally is, its a knockout torounament around a large gravel and tarmac super special in and outside a stadium. If you beat the other driver you keep racing, if you lose you're out!
Many good races were had but the two big ones were the gold medal final between Travis Pastrana from Subaru Rally Team USA and Rockstar energy drink Subaru driver and well known drifter Tanner Foust.
Many would say the best race was between Andrew Comrie Picard in his Evo 8 against the only man to win a medal at every X-Games David Mirra who has impacted very heavily on the Rally America scene this year. This was not just a race, but something special!

Haha, that was epic! You wouldn't expect anything less from X-Games. Still nothing on McRae's roll.

EVO8 looks funny with the Lancer WRC type rear wing solution.. Anyway what a race and as was said you cant expect anything else at the X-games.. If Im right last year guys had probs to keep their cars at their own track Also when NASCAR(Nationwide series) had its first wet race for decades at Montreal (the race could been a mess even in F1,so hard rain) and X-games 14 were up,Im sure it was a great weekend at North America.
