That mans pants are uncomfortably tight. Race looks fun though.

is it wrong that i felt sad as they tore worthwhile festiva parts out of that?

the blue interior is a rare option :(

honestly with the parts i bet they threw out and trashed they could have resold on Fordfestiva.com and made the money back. Although i know a few tips and tricks to make a festiva a great rally beater ;) come to think of it, i even have a spare festiva that is basically a junk running car... throw some aspire struts and springs in for a taller ride height along with some taller 13" tires and steelies from said aspire and you gain significant clearance and suspension travel over stock. actually... i even have a spare aspire to cut up and use.

Hell im tempted to partake in this.

I really like the idea, just not the jumps. I guess it will keep the speeds down so there is less chance of getting hurt but I think it would be more fun if it was just a rallyx course.

yeah...it was pretty red neck...especially seeing ppl driving w/ stock seats, steat belts, and not foam neck collar or hans devices....and the cages......don't get me started....

still fun to watch though....

it reminds me of the rally races they do in the x-games. It looks fun but a bit too red neckish for my liking. It seems like it is on the level with the spectator drags at Elko.
