Went to the first Global USA Rallycross of the year in Irwindale, CA today. The weather was looking like rain all day, but ended up sunny/drying the track out. I was helping a guy with a 2wd Honda who literally bought a car a few weeks ago (roadrace car) just for this event. He had parts coming from all over the world trying to make the event---shocks from europe (proflex), didn't get in until Thursday...complete last minute. He missed the first practice and turned his first lap in a car that he'd never driven before in qualifying...He only got 3 laps and ended up 2nd in the 10 car field---not too bad!
The event had most of the factories there---Ford/Sube's/Hyundai/SKODA with a couple of privateers as well in the 4WD category. Great talent from Europe cam including the WRC world champion Marcus Gronholm who was doing very well---couple of photo's from the day of the hardware--Rhys Millen had 2 old Hyundai WRC cars refitted as newer models---very nice work!!
Jimmy Keeny didn't clear the double and cartwheeled off the top---he missed a shift...
