And we thought the Group 5 type rally cars were dangerous! I predict that next year will bring on an onslaught of new technoligy for both 1, 2 & 4 wheel drive vehicles. A whole new clan will evolve as the dirt car dynasty unfortunitly dies away.

Erosion due to runoff is nothing new there. I think that means it’s cheaper to pave then to continue to maintain/rebuild the dirt road. Erosion due to runoff is nothing new there.

I wet myself or threw-up in my mouth I can't remember which laughing so hard. That is some funny funny stuff and I'm sure it will be the first 5,0000 times I read it on the internet. New and creative uses for fugly are guaranteed to be hilarious. Fuglystrada! I wet myself or threw-up in my mouth I can’t remember which laughing so hard.

Shame though, certainly took away a lot of the charm of that race.

I guess it's standard stuff when you put out a press release to do that. RichardU: Rome, GA is the headquarter city of Pirelli Tires North America.

Not sure how much faster a true sportbike will get up there than the Multistrada does. But the record will fall. Behind a 900 hp car.
