Got hooked-up with tickets for the X Games rally car on Sunday. It was pretty damn cool. We happened to have optimal seating, as it was at the end of the landing ramp for the 35" jump. That sucker took it's toll on the cars. One of the cars got body work in-between elimination and the finals. There was a guy wailing away with a sledge hammer, and then the tried and true; hook-a-tow-cable-to-another-car-and-pull/tug-the-frame-straight. I don't think that stuff made the telecast. The final was underwhelming, as three of the races were red flagged and no car actually had to finish the race. But it was a great time.
Also, Mirra and Pastrana had interviews in-between races and the booth was just behind the section I was in. So, both guys got within 30' of me. That was cool. They got semi-mobbed, so I had no chance at an autograph or photo-op.
