Please tell us that we're not the first ones to wish you a happy birthday during this AMA.

"YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, KEN" —tires

The simple explanation is that Wiman's worst races were much better than Block's worst races. Wiman took eight top five finishes and only one DNF all season. In the four events where Block missed the podium, he took finishes of 10th (Barbados), 11th (X Games), 7th (DC), and 9th (Seattle). The difference between a top…

Fun fact: the point scenario worksheet that Jarod DeAnda was reading from at the start of this video was six pages of data.

In case you wanted to see it in its final form. It'll be running this weekend. (HINT HINT TUNE IN TO YOUR LOCAL NBC AFFILIATE AT 5PM ET ON BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY TO WATCH THE ACTION OR BUY TICKETS NOW AT REDBULLGLOBALRALLYCROSS.COM/LA HINT HINT)

She's a beauty, eh?

If we get 1000 stars on this comment we'll create a Baja Bug class within our series.*

Kerbs will do that. (In all honesty, good to see that this driver—as was Ken Block in this case—was unharmed in the accident.)

What about us, Ballaban? We thought we were bros. Now we has a sad. http://redbullglobalrallycross.kinja.com/red-bull-globa…

We do what we can.

As promised: a video snippet of Kit Cope singing our national anthem on Sunday.

The Hoonigan Racing boys took a video of it. We'll see if we can get it out of them.

On that note: Ken did a Q&A session with us on Friday that was shared to the Jalopnik home page. Does that mean he received the "Shared to Jalopnik Nudge"?

Kit actually tested one of our GRC Lites cars in Las Vegas last year. If he ever starts to compete in one, we're going to have him sing the anthem from inside the car.

Why, yes. In fact, all of our remaining races are on NBC. Full TV schedule here: www.redbullglobalrallycross.com/events/

You know, that's not a bad idea... http://redbullglobalrallycross.kinja.com/hey-were-red-b…

Don't give us any ideas...

Might we suggest that fans in the DC area come check Rhys and the rest of our stars out this weekend? We've still got tickets available at http://www.rbgrcdc.com.

Congrats to Bryce—he's a veteran of our series. Today he announced on Jim Beaver's Down and Dirty Radio Show that he'll be running a Fiesta ST in a handful of events this year, so watch for that!

We're working with Yokohama for 2014 and beyond, who have done extensive testing to develop a brand new radial compound tire for our series (as opposed to the former bias-ply). The new tires enable drivers to post quicker lap times overall. As Steve Arpin noted in Barbados, you can ease up a little bit on these tires…
