After Heikkinen wiped out I think Grönholm is all you have left flying your flag

It's ok. Grönholm is my favourite motorsport driver ever. Räikkönen is second, and Hirvonen 3rd. :gawe:

I lol-ed.

Kinda wish the crewguy got taken for an extended ride back up the landing hump and beyond.

He would have scored poorly, but it still would have been fun.

At it didn't launch into the crowd when he picked it up. That would have been a major issue for them to deal with.

I was glad Burnquist picked up the gold yet again in the Big Air Ramp.

Quote from: Ken Block via Facebook

No final results yet, but after several of tonight's qualifying runs at GRC round 3 at X Games I was sitting in FIRST overall by 4 tenths of a second. It's bittersweet though, in light of fellow Ford driver Marcus Gronholm's incident today. I hope he has a speedy recovery[/l]

Qualifying Top 10 Results so far is
Block
Gronholm
Foust
Loeb
Millen
Binks
Pastrana
Scott
Deegan
Verdier

Also this happened too *Childhood memories* [/left]

Block needs to stop crashing into any car that gets within 50 ft of him.

Heat 4 was best. Everyone crashing in 1st turn is hilarious, especially Pastranas reaction.

You just kinda contradicted yourself there...



But yeah not happy about Pastrana getting screwed out of a race for the second time this season in GRC


Was hoping he'd win Rallycross this year..
