Rally America 08 Season is OVER
[ October 22nd, 2008 ] By: Charles Smith Posted in » Ramblings
Rally America’s 2008 season ended this weeked with their final event of the year: Rally Michigan (aka LSPR). Travis pastrana had already locked in the overall championship win but decided to get a podium finish anyway (~2 minutes behind first). Travis’ well known teammate, Ken Block, ended up winning the Rally to keep Sarasin out of 2nd overall. Kyle Sarasin didn’t give up on second easily and ended up with a 2nd place finish at the Rally (~1 minute behind Ken).
Kyle Sarasin did, however, end up 3rd in the overall championship this year. I would say this has been a good year for this up and coming rallyer. Did you know he is still a teenager and barely a legal adult? There is a lot more that is going to come out of this racer in the future (or so I hope his budget permits). He’ll be someone to watch, for sure.
I guess the competition pushed ACP into DNFing this weekend. He still ended up 4th in the championship but a DNF is a demoralizing way to end a season. You should go watch ACP’s videos and make him keep racing.
Either way, it was a neat end to a season and I hope to see some more exciting races next year. Sno*Drift here we come!
