Rally Racing

Ok, this was one of the coolest racing events I've ever attended. When we learned the rally cars would be racing in Maine last month, we decided it was an opportunity to see something we've never seen before and it certainly was different. Below the drivers were waiting to start the final heat of the day.This is Travis Pastrana. He drives for Vermont Sportcars. You may know his name from motorbike racing (and he also stars on Nitro Circus).

Travis Pastrana talking to another driver. His co-driver can be seen getting into the passenger side of the car.

The course is on dirt roads, we were hiked out into the woods (for protection) to watch the races. We were able to watch from wherever we wanted as long as stayed in the designated areas. Here the car was going a little too fast and I missed it :)

I have no idea how fast they are going here. This is just past the finish line.
