U.S. Rallycross Championship, Nov.7, 2010 New Jersey Motorsports Park

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.
