VOTE: Who is going to win rally @ Xgames? part 1

PA04STI 07-26-2006 03:49 PM

VOTE: Who is going to win rally @ Xgames?
This seems like it is going to be a sweet addition to the Xgames with some very notable names participating.

So who is going to win?

Another team:

[B]Ramana Lagaman/Andrew Comrie-Picard[/B] didn't make the list sorry only 10 spots on poll
Patrick L 07-26-2006 03:51 PM

You should have a poll for 2wd and 4wd
PA04STI 07-26-2006 04:02 PM

[QUOTE=Top_Dog]You should have a poll for 2wd and 4wd[/QUOTE]

I just put the 10 drivers/codrivers off Rally America listing!!!
greg donovan 07-26-2006 04:06 PM

you forgot Ramana Lagaman and Andrew Comrie-Picard. they were just added after MFR.
ibis 07-26-2006 04:14 PM

No contest...Pat and Nat all the way!! :)
PA04STI 07-26-2006 04:24 PM

wvallwheeldrive 07-26-2006 04:40 PM

boundy3 07-26-2006 04:41 PM

Pat all the way followed closely by Colin
MattDell 07-26-2006 04:51 PM

Doug Woods 07-26-2006 04:54 PM

Funny poll. The guy that's going to win is not even on it.

Another vote for Pat. Just because I've been rooting for him since his 2.5RS club rally days. :)
WagonMonster 07-26-2006 05:12 PM

I'm still waiting to see if Vivid actually delivers Millen's car in time.
MattDell 07-26-2006 05:27 PM

[QUOTE=WagonMonster]I'm still waiting to see if Vivid actually delivers Millen's car in time.[/QUOTE]
It will get there on time.
But it will be a 350Z and not a Subaru.
And it will take him 4 days to get ahold of Vivid.
psg 07-26-2006 05:31 PM

I will be seriously surprised if McRae doesn't win it (other than shunting it). If McRae crashes, definitely Richard.
So Cal STI 07-26-2006 08:48 PM

Yep
[QUOTE=wvallwheeldrive]Colin will win or completely distroy the car[/QUOTE]
I agree with you.

greg donovan 07-27-2006 01:12 AM

[QUOTE=WagonMonster]I'm still waiting to see if Vivid actually delivers Millen's car in time.[/QUOTE]

vivid is just sponsoring the car. they dont have anything to do with its prep. i think it is being rented and serviced by techsport.
greg donovan 07-27-2006 01:13 AM

[QUOTE=Mr_Hox](Second that question!)[/QUOTE]

STPR will be on this saturday on ESPN2 and the X Games Rally will be on Saturday august 5th on ESPN2.

sorry i am not sure about the times.
Blennophobic 07-27-2006 01:15 AM

My vote just put Pat neck-and-neck with Colin :cool:
ryan j 07-27-2006 02:06 AM

Choiniere will be at or really close to the top if the tib stays together.
greg donovan 07-27-2006 02:15 AM

[QUOTE=ryan j]Choiniere will be at or really close to the top if the tib stays together.[/QUOTE]

sadly, that is a pretty big if. i would love to see him do well.
scoobyRx 07-27-2006 03:20 AM

There's no second place for McRae--if he finishes it'll be first, but he'll stuff it.
I think Lauchlin & Matt will be fast and don't forget Travis did just win on some of the same roads at Rim.
I voted for Pat, but did just see on SS that he's desparate for new tires and that his usual sources have none. Hopefully he finds some soon (and not Pirellis).
It'll be interesting to see who has new tweeks to their cars for more power, etc. Pinker skipped MFR and maybe he found some new power for basically a gpN car.
Think Paul and Rhys will be last. Nothing against those guys, but they are rusty and their cars are tired/less prepped than others.
scoobyRx 07-27-2006 03:37 AM

STPR is listed as Xgames qualifier and is on ESPN2 sat 7/29 at 12:30 central for 1hr. It's even in Hi Def, so if you have ESPN[B]2[/B] HD, all the better.

Xgames show is sat. 8/5 at 4pm central on ABC. The super special is live with some footage of the Wed. stage rally added in.
Big C 07-27-2006 07:54 AM

I think this will be a really interesting event. This is probably the most stacked field ever in a US event, and it seems to have gotten everyone into hyper-competitive moods and ready to go for broke.

My vote is that McRae takes it, because he has way more experience at a much higher level than anyone else in the field. It will be interesting to see how the best of the US stack up, but I think that most will need to drive way above their normal pace to beat McRae.
KC 07-27-2006 08:19 AM

McRae and Richard are tops in the poll with no one anywhere near them in the voting.

Sweet! :)

Pat! We're rootin' for ya!
Subaru_555 07-27-2006 09:25 AM

Nothing but McRae and Grist. How could they not win. Oh right McCrash!

assuming Lauchlin is running in CPD1, that thing is a rocketship.

travis hasnt had this deep of a field to compete against before.

i am sure pat will solve his tire issues, and the regular pirelli tires are very good, it is the moos ones that are troublesome.

i agree about the tiburon. but when that thing holds together paul is very fast in it.

Rhys is renting a 04-05 STi that is being supported by andy brown (Techsport), he isnt using his old evo.

does anyone know if Ramana is using the Escort?

Iorio seems to respond very well to high pressure and has been very fast lately. he is one of the most exciting north american drivers to watch right now. and his car is quite a bit lighter than some of the other cars.

i dont know too much about what is going on with the other guys.
WRXedUSA 07-27-2006 09:58 AM

patr is going to win.

Yes he is
[QUOTE=greg donovan]

My if I was a betting man, my money would be on Colin and Nicky; they simply have more seat time than any other three teams combined. But, with the courses being so short there is little time to make up for a bad run/turn.

However for a long shot I'd put money on either the Iorio or Lagamann teams.
wvallwheeldrive 07-27-2006 10:23 AM

i think Colin will lead most of the event and crash on one of the last few stages. I'm routing for Pastana tho
greg donovan 07-27-2006 10:59 AM

[QUOTE=REDrum]Yes he is

i cant remember the betting term for picking the finishers but not picking the finishing order but here is how i would do that.

top 5 regardless of finishing order:

McRae
Richard
Iorio
O'Sullivan
Pastrana

Does anyone know what car Tanner is going to be driving? Scott told me during the STPR that they'd probably rent one, but he didn't know from where.
bjorn240 07-27-2006 01:21 PM

He's got a brand new Open Class car from Vermont SportsCar. It's black/gold and sponsored by RockStar Energy Drink. AFAIK, it's identical to Colin's, Travis's, and Ken's new cars.
pio!pio! 07-27-2006 01:33 PM

What rules if the Xgames rallly run to?
bjorn240 07-27-2006 01:45 PM

Rally America, but there are some additional tire rules and the scoring is weighted to put more emphasis on the SSS.
Easy Rider 07-27-2006 03:08 PM

Pat and Nat for the win!
cowapult 07-27-2006 04:48 PM

I'm rooting for Pat and Nat. But if I had money at stake, realistically, don't you think Colin is from a [b]slightly[/b] different league of competition?

But yeah, I'd give it 50/50 that he crashes :lol:
Mykl 07-27-2006 04:53 PM

davis10 07-27-2006 05:25 PM

WRC > Rally America (granted Colin doesn't DNF, but I should be close)
tora 07-27-2006 05:30 PM

Pat and Nath, excited to watch!
greg donovan 07-28-2006 12:02 AM

[QUOTE=bjorn240]Rally America, but there are some additional tire rules and the scoring is weighted to put more emphasis on the SSS.[/QUOTE]

i think the reduction of the gaps between positions before the SSS is going to make things very exciting.

this will not be a rally where a driver can back off and cruise for the win.
HomerJay 07-28-2006 07:07 PM

Is this a full rally or just some ss stages?
bjorn240 07-28-2006 07:19 PM

8 forest stages and 1 SSS in the Home Depot Center.
WRX-ECE 07-29-2006 12:07 AM

Iorio gets my vote, you know Colins gonna wreck and so I go for an underdog.

yes, I knew that, just don't think that car is at the Vt. or CPD prepped level, but what do I know :p

Is anyone running one of Autosport's silver Subies? Those cars are very nice and fast. Figured they'd show up for this.

Christian, who did you pick in the poll?? Is Tanners car a new car or a freshened up one you or Ken has used? That makes a lot of Vt. cars available for rent for the rest of the R/A schedule this year :D
lummer shawn 07-29-2006 05:37 AM

gotta go with the local guy.

GO PAT! (and Nathalie!)

Nobody.

Tanner's car is new. I think he will be driving it in the 2007 Rally America championship.

It is the same spec as McRae, Pastrana, and Block.
