    Ha Ha.... Welp, It was new to me....

    I found great enjoyment in watching that scrappy MINI limping around in the mud with 3 good tars beating the snot out of all the other racers.....:D

    New to me too, what a race, that could be a lot of fun......

    I wonder what the cost is to campaign each season? Over a mil?

    Takes some big cajones to stay in front on 3 tires.

    We went to watch the GRC race at Bristol Speedway. It was great fun to watch, and with it still being a kind of small motorsport here in the States, you had great access. You could walk around the pits, and pretty much anyone who wanted an autograph was able to get it after only a short wait in line.
