Another rally video. This was last week during the X Games. Colin McRae is half a second ahead of Travis Pastrana going into the final stage. It's a pretty tense finish:

After watching these I don't really understand why so many people enjoy NASCAR. It's really boring watching a bunch of cars just drive around in a circle for 500 miles.
I watched the first, but couldn't take any more, so I'll have to watch the other later.

OMG!!!!! I was a nervous wreck watching that!

Smashing rocks off the sides of hills - repeatedly (!); skidding SOOOOOOOOO close to the edge of a million-foot drop-off.

No, really, the 'drop-off' shots pretty much did me in. SHEESH!!!

And all that on LOOSE DIRT???? Omg.

I'm surprised the track managers didn't throw some loose gravel on the curves to make things even *more* interesting.

Good video, Luca...

...now that I've recovered from a brief interlude of cardiac arrest.
