Block Vs Pastrana

[mcmaster]

Who is the better Rally America Icon?

Personally I'm a BLOCK fan far more then a Pastrana fan.

I like BLOCK's flat out style, I wish I was Gelsomino for a day.

What do you think are the traits of a Rally "Icon"?

Is it how good you are? or how marketable you are? or something else all together?

I really think its a combination of things and not so black and white.

Most spectators want an icon that has proven him/herself time and time again.

Then there is always the people's champ mentality that can go a long way to becoming "iconic".

Skill, grit and a sense of humility can go a long way to building that "marketable" image.

I would agree tho, there is no denying that in this day and age being marketable is definitely a key proponent in whether you can propel beyond the status quo and really establish yourself amongst the people.

Pastrana has so much more potential, he is wayyyy younger then Block!
