Sno Drift

With 55 cars signed up for the first round of the Rally America season it should be an excited race.

In open class it should be a dog fight between Ken Block in the new Monster Energy powered Ford Fiesta, Travis Pastrana, and a pair of evo wheel men in ACP, and Andi Mancin. With 18 open class cars they will have plenty of challenges including Dave Mirra who steps up to open from s/p.

In s/p there is no shortage of competition. With all the cars very close to the same performance level it is more based on driver skill. Returning s/p champ Jimmy Keeney is back with a new co-driver Jason Grahn (my mentor). Pat Moro, Even Cline, Piotr Wiktorczyk, and 9 other teams are set to do battle.

Is anyone going to make it out to the race? You guys have any favorites? Feel free to post updates, comments, or pictures in this thread!

Pastrana will be racing with a freshly broken collarbone, so that might level the playing field for a few other drivers

Snow racing is the greatest because the best driver can win with a back marker car.
