Monster Ford Fiesta (Really)

Meet Ken Block.  Shoe Mogul and Monster Ford Rally driver.  Incidentally, that’s a Ford Fiesta (or is it a Focus?).

Great footage of Rally Mexico.  Enjoy.

Short Course Truck Racing Rocks

Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series is underway for the season.  If you haven’t caught this on TV yet, make it a priority.  You can follow highlights like this on YouTube as well.  Very entertaining.  You NASCAR haters may even enjoy this.

84 Audi Quattro Ensures High Pucker Factor

This is definitely worth viewing.  Not the most spectacular rally footage, but well produced and without a soundtrack.  Hearing the sounds of the car/driver action adds considerably to the experience.
