Rally America Heads to Northern Minnesota
As the dust settles from X Games 15, teams are gearing up for the Ojibwe Forests Rally, in Bemidji, Minnesota. This event is Round 7 of 9 in the Rally America Championship series. Watch it all go down on August 28th and 29th as teams aim to gain points as the season winds down.
This rally is a crowd pleaser every year. The picturesque backdrop of wooded forests and pristine lakes are marked with fast, smooth roads that competitors love. With only three rounds left in the season top teams can’t afford to make mistakes. Subaru Rally Team USA (SRTUSA) and Monster Energy Drink driver Ken Block will be looking to over throw last year’s rally winner and fellow SRTUSA team member Travis Pastrana.
Currently, it appears that Travis may have another Overall National Championship well within reach, but the fight for second and third are just starting to heat up. Ken is presently second with NOS Energy Drink driver Andrew Comrie-Picard (ACP) only one point behind. In such a close race the last three events will prove to be the deciding factor in the outcome of the season.
Friday will be full of excitement, starting in the late afternoon with a Parc Expose at the Bemidji Speedway. This gives the fans the chance to meet the drivers and get autographs before they head out to run a “superspecial” stage where spectators can see the cars from start to finish. Later that night fans can watch the service crews in action at Akeley Service and then head to see the night stage where the glow of brake rotors and the gleam of headlights eliminate the dark forests.
