Who knew?
Sure, I had seen some X Games coverage, and recognized Kenny Brack from his IndyCar days. I went to New Jersey to have a word with Andreas Eriksson of Olsbergs MSE about his engine program, and caught a day of amazement in the process.
Sorry for the spastic photo selection, my interests were aimed in other directions...but this Rallycross deal, this is some pretty cool stuff.
I hope to see you all at the track in 2011, as the U.S Rallycross Championship expands its reach to pull in a lot more innocent victims. They are in for a treat.

DNF – Jussi Pinomaki, Ford Fiesta. So you fly over from Sweden, crush the right side of the car on Saturday, lose an engine Sunday morning, and rip both ends of the car and a left front axle off in the A main. Let's do it again next year!!!
