I was bummed to see the car banged up at the end of the 2nd pass when we came through (#900) Loved hearing it launch ahead of us!

This very Astro is the current tow rig for a former Jalopnik story subject: https://jalopnik.com/rally-team-undeterred-by-minor-issue-of-their-entire-tr-1783728808

I mean the blues still have perron/maroon so Ithink they’ll be fine in that department.

But can we talk about how putting a tow strap around a tow-ball is a great way to blast someone’s head off when it snaps?

We were right behind them in the running order at NEFR, it was such a cool rally “car” and I was so bummed when we came around a corner to see them rolled on their side :(

Original Xterra was first sold in the 2000 model year, not 1998. (pedantry!)

Our Mk2 Golf rally car does this......for reasons.

Yeah they only cut the door bars out to more easily pull her out. I’m also pretty glad everyone jumped on the people trying to gawk and sneak around to the helicopter. I think our ‘crew chief’ would have probably murdered the guy if she’d seen it.

Thank you for helping warn the following competitors! I was part of the crew for Jesse/MacKenzie and listening to the radio chatter for the hours following the crash were pretty terrifying for us back at service. (don’t get me started on the garbage safety/management situation that showed itself)

A thing nobody should aspire to!

I bought a final year pro-4x with a 6-speed. It is the greatest. It goes everywhere and never gets stuck. Also great for hauling doggies and towing rally cars!

I mean there’s a hotel at the stadium, pretty sure they can afford a room for a night.

I’ll be right here next time it drops 13 snowflakes in Texas and you all start calling FEMA. Just let me know.

So I guess you were out to lunch the last 8 years then.

I mean the stupid part is debatable, as anyone who’s witnessed me on-course can attest to.

I drive my rallycross car to and from events with my winters mounted. Come at me!

Has anyone made sure Justin McElroy hasn’t died from anticipation yet?

It usually starts as snow/ice in the morning but we burn through to the dirt by the afternoon. Winter events I run stock 17" wheels with some MasterCraft Glacier grips. Summer events is a 15" wheel with gravels.

I disagree.
