OK. Try and book Acer Arena in Sydney for a gig next summer. Its already more then 1/2 sceduled out. FACT

[drivingsports]

@mbc92028 Uh, that's great. Not really relevant to the discussion, however.

[mbc92028]

I just think your being naive if you think Pastrana isnt scheduling out atleast a year in advance.

[drivingsports]

@mbc92028 We can only report what we learn from sources directly involved. You are arguing based on what you believe were the scheduling timelines, but you make no indication that you have first-hand knowledge about what actually happened. Like all organizations R-A had a schedule well before it was made public and you can bet that R-A works hard to make sure it's #1 driver isn't going to miss 1/3 of the season. We'll certainly be discussing with Pastrana the next time we talk with him.

@drivingsports Yeah that makes sense Nitro Circus Tour of Australia was just thrown together at the last minute. Are you kidding me they had to have locked in the stadiums in Oz over a year ago to make sure they did nt have conflict with other events. Rally-America didnt get there shit together on their scheduel til almost new years.

@mbc92028 Only reporting what we heard from folks that are actually involved with the situation. If you don't want to believe them, that's your choice.

Mirra should stick to riding bikes, Pastrana needs to decide if he wants to race or not. And for block its not his fault, but what did he expect? its a ford. and for the Evos they have some good drivers, but the truth is they lucked out this season.

Thanks DSTV for the vid! Due to lack of coverage, I don't know what's really going on in rally right now.

[supersideways]

America stage rallying is on the brink, however, it is due to the poor marketing of the series (inc. no TV package), strange car-class system, cost of using Jemba notes, reliance on people like Pastrana to bring interest, hard for privateers to match the factory cars with half year series, changing of X-Games style event, ... lots of areas to fix really
