Re: This is racing.
He is supposed to be coming to my dealership in the next few months for Subaru. When he does I will get some pics up.

Great video!
This one has bit of gay disco, so turn down the sound, but it illustrates the fine line between control and chaos.

Re: This is racing.
I guess this is why Kimi Raikkonen left Formula 1 for Rally cars.
Very cool video, thanks,

Re: This is racing.
Travis is a very talented kid but no where near a world class rally driver....the Mt Washington Rally isn't exactly a well attended event so the record is more of a publicity stunt by subaru...
It would be interesting to see if Subaru and Travis show up at Pikes Peak or better yet head off to WRC. Unfortunately, I think he would suffer the same fate as Ken Block.

Absolutely agree that as far as WRC drivers go, he's not up there. However, my point was to illustrate the extreme danger and technical aspect that goes into a rally event whether it be a PR stunt or an actual WRC event. He's no Colin McRae that's for sure.

Probably didn't convey it too well, but wasn't dinging Travis at all. Just the idea that every marketing endeavor has to be "new improved record setting" blah blah blah rather than just a good ole "look at how cool this shit is".
Travis certainly has to have a wheelbarrow to get his balls from here to there
....and having worked a few events and met him I have to congratulate him on being a truly genuine nice guy. I would love to see him race again, as it was his inability to ride with any moderation whatsoever that made for a less than stellar motocross career. He either lapped the field or stacked it up into the bleachers. This would make a WRC campaign extremely entertaining.

I love the Isle of Mann TT on HDNet. I just wished they showed more of the racing and not just the highlights most of the time.

Re: This is racing.
Rally car racing is great, but i don't know who is crazier the drivers or the spectators watching these races standing right next to the roads.

Try another 8k feet of elevation, more dirt, 2x the distance, and no co-driver:
